Eagle Arms Ea 15 Serial Numbers

Posted on  by 

Well, the serial # number indicates a parts gun on the EA 15. The Bushmaster Carbon 15 has a ton of muzzle flash, and you need two sets of hearing protection, it's so loud. So I called A-1 sales here in Texas and they said they could have me a kit by weds next week. Serial numbers from 1,601,000 through 1,640,xxx also lie within the Springfield Serial Number Range and constitute the so-called 'Win-13s'. Both the Win-13s and Springfields have rifles in the 1,601,150 to 1,640,xxx serial number range. This is a remake of my first video with this firearm. Hope you enjoy!!!

PREBAN AR15 INFORMATION RESOURCES | PRE BAN AR 15

PRE BAN AR 15

PRE BAN AR 15 information is very valuable to shooters in states that maintain an ASSAULT WEAPON BAN. While I dont normally advocate borrowing content from other websites I feel this information is invaluable and needs to be protected, duplicated and shared for the greater good of the shooting community.

If anyone has more information and links please post them at the bottom and I will update the list. If you have a lower of from one of the lesser known brands and have managed to verify the date to the serial number please add your info to the comments and I will add it to the master list.

Due to an overwhelming number of rifle orders, ALL rifles will be placed on back order. You may place your order online, all orders will ship in the order they are received. Current lead times are at least 3 months. Many parts and components will also be on back order so we can help fulfill our rifle orders. M-15™/EA-15 Parts & Accessories. The serial numbers listed, except for 1963, 1969, 1970, are the serial number at the first of the year. NOTE II: The 1969-1970 downturn (highlighted in purple) in production numbers is due to Colt withdrawing the AR-15 from the market temporarily to fix the 'hammer follow-down' issue (the gun could fire full-automatically - erratically - if.

OLYMPIC ARMS

What does my serial number have to do with a PRE BAN AR 15?

Q: What does my serial number mean?

A: Nothing is more frustrating than to know little or nothing about the firearm you own or are about to buy. Use the information in this page to help determine when your Olympic Arms AR 15 was produced. Please read all of the details on this page because there are many questions answered in the following paragraphs.

As many of you already know, on the 7th of June, 2000, Olympic Arms experienced a devastating fire that destroyed our sales offices. In those offices were housed our current as well as archival records with regards to manufacture, acquisition and distribution of firearms. 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.

These books, over 25 years of Olympic Arms history and data, were completely destroyed in that fire. All A& D book records prior to the 7th of June, 2000 are GONE. Period. 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.

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.

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. If you’d like to read why this decision was made, please read the article in the About Us section titled “Pre-fire Bound Books”. Remember that Olympic Arms fully complied, and still does, with ATF regulations regarding A&D books.

Below you will see a list of serial numbers. At Olympic, we group our serial numbered lowers into “ranges”. If you’ll notice, all the serial number ranges have a letter prefix but one. The initial receivers made by Olympic Arms simply contain a 4 digit serial number, no letter prefix. Each subsequent serial number range (either beginning with 0001, or 1001) will show a 1 or 2 letter prefix.

Additionally, you will see several lines for serial numbers that begin with the same letter(s) prefix. These prefix series are divided by a date range to their right. These date ranges are the beginning and ending dates of the physical paper ledgers in which those numbers were recorded. In other words, the ledger books were not large enough to contain all of the numbers (0001-9999), in one book. For that reason, there is a beginning date and end date for each ledger. That is what you see below.

Match your receiver up with the letter prefixes on the chart below. Each line is separated into 5 columns.

Column 1: The serial number itself (including prefix).

Column 2: The beginning serial number in that book.

Column 3: The beginning date for that book. If there is only one date listed after the serial numbers in column 2 and/or 2, all of those numbers were manufactured on that same day.

Column 4: End date for that book.

2-letters & 4# – most receivers follow this pattern.
2#, 2 letters, 4# – the first two #’s are year of manufacture of the lower.
2 letters, 6# (separated 2 & 4 – e.g. SA 96 0000) – first 2 #’s are year of manufacture.
“ICR” marked lowers are an European customer’s overrun, has an unused additional hole – all ICR lowers are post ban.

Olympic Arms Manufacturer’s Notes:

  1. There were some odd variations and some custom serial numbers mixed in thru the years also. And, some receivers manufactured after the ban have the year stamp after the model name, not in the serial #. and if you don’t see a year stamp on the receiver, it is not necessarily pre-ban.
  2. Serial numbers that end in “D” were duplicates and one was changed using this letter.
  3. Recently some serial numbers have left with one or two letters followed by FIVE numbers. The last numbers are either 5’s or 0’s. 99.9% of these are post-ban.
  4. “Older” does not always mean pre-ban as per Corey Sattler.
  5. “BL” serial number series lowers are transitional with some pre and some post ban. If you have a “BL” you’ll have to call to verify for certain.

Professional Ordinance

All are post ban (including all of the pistols).

This semi-automatic action was chambered in the .223 or the 5.56 NATO caliber and is a gas operated rotating bolt which sits in the aluminum receiver. Additionally, the feed system on the AR 15 is a box magazine with varying capacities and various aftermarket manufacturers.

The AR 15 comes in a wide array of configurations usually weighing in the range of 5 to 9 pounds, and sport barrel lengths from 6.5 to 24 inches, depending on the intended use. Traditionally, the AR 15 was fitted with iron sights with the front site adjustable, but some models do have adjustable rear sights as well and other still have flattops, which are intended to have optics mounted on them.

These rifles have a maximum effective range from about 300 - 500 yards.
