  It is a bit confusing because SGW is Schuetzen Gun Works, which became Olympic Arms. Frankford Arsenal bought up a number of the SGW marked receivers which were not fully machined in (I believe) 1987 and then finished them into complete rifles bearing their own name and serial number. Frankford Arsenal folded not long after that and should not be confused with the company of the same name in operation today and also selling AR receivers.
  
  Even my memory gets a bit cloudy on this so hopefully one of our members can chime in with more info.
  
  I have an Olympic Arms AR which also carries the SGW marking:
