Where did this info come from?
Most AR-15 pistols seen in television and movies may either be a Freedom Arms 7" AR-15 Pistol or the same gun as a kit built on another manufacturer's registered full auto lower receiver, or the Olympic Arms OA-93.
This sounds inaccurate to me, given that Olympic Arms themselves (for many years) trumpeted the popularity of the OA-93 in movies (anyone who ever used to be on their email distro, back when they were around, knows what I mean), and I've seen at least a few Arfcom posts discussing their relationship with the movie armorer community. Also: 90% of the OA-93 movie/TV appearances that we documented on IMFDB are the same 2-3 guns from the Stembridge Gun Rentals inventory that were originally procured for Clear and Present Danger with the short custom buffer tubes (the exceptions are the guns from Bad Boys, which were provided by ISS, and Lethal Weapon 4 and Once Upon a Time in Mexico, which came from Cinema Weaponry). Further, as we've seen from the receiver markings on the rubber version used in Batman Forever that was sold by Propstore, the Stembridge guns were actually OA-93 uppers on transferable M16A1 lower groups. -MT2008 (talk) 23:18, 15 March 2022 (EDT)
