Our Assessment: The OA-93 is a unique AR-15 derivative pistol manufactured by Olympic Arms. The most notable difference is the absence of a buttstock or buffer tube. Instead, the recoil is dispersed through a specially designed flat top upper receiver, reminiscent of the Armalite AR-18. These pistols offer a unique shooting experience and stand as a testament to the evolving firearms landscape.
