This company was in business for more than 60 years, first as a barrel maker and later as a manufacturer of bolt-action and AR-style rifles. In the 1980s, company bought Safari Arms, a manufacturer of 1911-style pistols. Many of these models remained in production under the Safari name until 2004, when they were changed to the Olympic brand. In 2014, the company announced that all handgun production was being discontinued. In 2017 the company announced it was closing. The notice turned out to be premature, and as of Summer 2020, Olympic Arms remains in business. Brian Schuetz, son of founder Bob Schuetz, is now President. Current production is focused on AR-type rifles.
