Picked up a neat little oddity today. Came with the original black grips, take down tool, box, extra mag and manual. Remember seeing them years ago. This is 2588 of 3000 (allegedly 5k frames were made, but not sure how many actually made it to the market. Lee stated that the highest he ever saw was 3.5k). Talked to one of the guys that had a hand in making it and got a bit of provenance with it.
I brought this wolverine home, Store was closing. Called Olympic. It's sn#2588. They built all the frames in 2005 and 2006.this one shipped 12/03/2008. The guy I talked to is one of the original employees. He said he never saw higher than sn 3000. Sold all the rights, parts and equipment to a guy in Montana.
He said production numbers shouldn't be any higher than 3500.
Lee told me what ammo to feed it and that the biggest cause of failures is that shooters fail to get the mag set/engaged correctly. They received an undeserved bad reputation years ago, combined with poor customer service and the rest is history.
Ran 30 flawless rounds through it (CCI MINI MAGS and WWB) Such a cool piece of gun history, even if it's the redux.
