Match your receiver up with the letter prefixes on the chart below. For that reason, there is a beginning date and end date for each ledger. In other words, the ledger books were not large enough to contain all of the numbers (0001-9999), in one book. These date ranges are the beginning and ending dates of the physical paper ledgers in which those numbers were recorded. These prefix series are divided by a date range to their right.

Each subsequent serial number range (either beginning with 0001, or 1001) will show a 1 or 2 letter prefix.Īdditionally, you will see several lines for serial numbers that begin with the same letter(s) prefix.

Many people and organizations have been critical of Olympic Arms for not securing a copy of these records elsewhere, or keeping an electronic file of this data as an emergency back up. We CANNOT provide you with the date the serial number was shipped, we CANNOT provide you with information determining whether a particular serial number was a factory assembled firearm, and most importantly, we CANNOT determine whether or not your particular serial number is a legal grandfathered pre-ban firearm. This is an unfortunate situation that severely limits our ability to provide product information for any and all AR-15 lower receivers and/or complete guns manufactured prior to that date. As a result all that we can provide is what you see below, a date “range” in which your serial number was manufactured. All A& D book records prior to the 7th of June, 2000 are GONE. These books, over 25 years of Olympic Arms history and data, were completely destroyed in that fire. The books that we, as well as all federally licensed firearms dealers are required to keep are commonly known as “Bound Books”, or “A&D” (acquisition & distribution) books. In those offices were housed our current as well as archival records with regards to manufacture, acquisition and distribution of firearms.
