I have this rifle and the polymer mags don't do very well unless fully loaded to where it squeeze's out the top of the mag but the steel mag does great no problems at all and it's a very accurate rifle for a budget rifle I have around 6,000 rounds through it and no problems at all
just put one on layaway at my local gun store. this is my first rifle of any type. buddy of mine has an AR so naturally I took him along so I didn't get ripped off. his has a lot more bells and whistles, but he seemed confident ill be pleased with the purchase. ill post in a few weeks when I get mine out of layaway and throw some lead down range for my own personal opinion.
minus the initial "don't know my ass from a hole in the ground" issues I had loading and firing my AR, it did wonderful. mine did not come with sights, so I purchased the cheapest sights the gun store had. put about 250 rounds thru it, had one "jam". but that was actually my own fault it jammed, not the AR's. its light and seemed to do pretty well under the circumstances. now compared to my buddies AR which is a bushmaster and really built up for world war 3, it wasn't much to write home about, but for just going to the range and shooting just for fun, it did ok. I don't think i'd bet my life on this AR, but its good enough for what I wanted it for.
it didn't do too bad once I finally figured out where it was shooting. the iron sights i bought are almost worthless in my opinion, but they did give me an idea of where it was going. im sure with better optics, this AR would be pretty good. i just didn't have an extra 200 for a decent scope.
i bought one in December had to send it back because of the breakdown pin kept falling out and didn't even shoot it. now it has been 2.5 months and I have yet to shoot it
Is it a bad idea to have the magazine filled with bullets while it is stored? I just like to have it ready at home but I am worried that the spring inside might become affected. Any thoughts?
Get more than 1 mag. Switch them out. I stretch my springs at least once a week and it's fine. I do it with all of my guns. I don't own this 1 yet until the 28th this month 😢
I just took my 300 blackout to the range for the first time and the first 3-4 rounds cycled good after that it was failure to eject I had to manually charge every round and in most cases the bolt was stuck. I was hoping it was just the ammunition I was shooting UMC Remington 300 blackout 120 GR. Very disappointed.
Better Tactical I had the same issue, for the first 200 rounds you're going to want to grease the bolt and charging handle pretty good then once the first 200 rounds are fired do a detailed clean and disassembly. should work good after that.
I have a Omni 556 ar pistol, every time I go to chamber a round and check to see if the round cycled/got picked up my bolt gets stuck and won’t go back and I have to mortar my ar pistol , can’t see find out what’s the issue. If anybody has any information please let me know thank you
I got mine from Grabagun for $480 including shipping. I expected to install my own optics and front grip. My manual is helpless in giving directions and "How to do". There is little options at ATI's web site for information on the front grip and where & what to attach the sling to. The front rail NO picatinny but the gas block has at the top. I was hoping to attach a front grip but it looks as though I'll need to modify unless someone has an alternative suggestion.
if you purchased a rifle with the standard m4 style hand guard, then you will need to replace it with a railed hand guard, or convert to a free float hand guard.
luke howell I purchased an attachment from a seller in Arkansas. Magpul MAG409-BLK MAG409 Polymer Rail Section 11 Slots L5 for a adaptor to the front handguard. I removed the front handguard manually, uuuggg. I contacted American Tactical about manual for this procedure. Still waiting. As of yesterday I disassembled the gas block and begrudgingly removed the handguard. I searched the internet and found that it would be easier to remove the handguard with the AR15 Delta Ring Removal tool. Live and Live and learn. All back together now. Lining up for the reinstall of the gas block and tube was educational. I should have marked the holes in advance. The Magpul MAG409-BLK MAG409 Polymer Rail Section 11 Slots L5 wasn’t the best fitting but it is mounted now. Waiting for new 5 position front grip and sling attachment to arrive. Mounted a scope and had terrible accuracy at the range at 100 & 200 yards. Ordered a scope bore sight for the next time at the range. Another live nd learn lesson: DO NOT leave your batteries in the scope. REMOVE them before you leave the range or before putting the rifle / gun back into the case. So, the batteries were the cheapest lesson.
Mine fires fine but I put flip sights on it and I had to adjust the rear sight almost full way over to the left in order to get it to fire true at 25 meters. That seems like something is off. Anyone got any ideas?
I was over at Grab A Gun they are 525.00 now. They were sold out. I think they are pretty good on their back order tools? I believe ATI has 2 factories? NY and SC, not exactly sure about that.Mine says NY. I am well pleased and i own Colts and other high end platforms.
I took my ATI 300 blackout to the range fresh out of the box . After 75 rounds it was all down hill from there. multiple failure to fire and failure to eject the cartridge. And the finally the gas block just feel off the barrel out from under the handguard. I wouldn't recommend this gun to anyone. The 300 blackout that is .
Update........Rifle lasted 2 mags before the FTFs started. Mags would not seat and fell out. Basically an unsafe gun. Gallery of Guns took it back and exchanged it with a Windham Carbon AR15. Great gun. I strongly would encourage anyone to avoid the ATI Omni AR15.
Dana H I had the same issue with mine, only I was unable to return or trade the rifle once fired. I took some measurements and found that the magazine well was actually 0.03mm too big as well as the milled groove for the magazine catch. good new was I was able to buy a different magazine catch and fixed the problem. the magazine still shakes in the magazine well but doesn't fall out anymore.
I got one just like that and it looks nice but is very poorly made. I've been working on it all year but haven't been able to get it to fire a single round so far! The barrel's feed ramps were improperly cut, they weren't even cut in the upper to match the barrel and the barrel and upper were improperly assembled. The bolt didn't work, the charging handle was binding at the back and the mag well is too large to seat the mags properly. The upper and barrel were replace with ones that fit properly and the bolt repaired but I haven't been able to find mags that will work without falling out, jamming or misfeeding.
Mine blew up in my face...sent off for repairs...been a month...nothing yet...does it take this long?...they dont even answer back in emails....wat to do?
Mine works grate with gen 2 Pmags. I have no issue with bushmaster mags. I need a punch to push out the take down pin cuz it is so tight fitting tho. not a complaint, that makes it shoot nice and tight.
jblcva Have you had any issues with the magazines wobbling around in the magazine well? I have heard of this issue from a few sources. I'm going to pick up my Omni Hybrid Lower this weekend. However, I'm not really sure I want to have this as the backbone of my rifle if there is a tolerance issue. Thanks!
This rifle is a POS! This is the short version... Took it out to the range with brand new ammo and it would not feed properly. Yes the magazines are good as I used them in my friends AR without fail. Emailed them twice with no response. Then called customer service. I shipped the rifle back to them for inspection to which they changed out the gas block. According to the armorer it passed safety checks, they sent it back to me. Took it to the range today damn thing still will not feed properly. Crap rifle. I previously owned a Colt and never had a single issue with the rifle feeding properly. I have the Omni Hybrid Multi Cal5.56
"Solid, well built gun" Bullshit..... I've had mine sent back to the factory once. Replaced once. Had 3 parts shipped to me to "Fix" issues. And still to this day, this piece of SHIT rifle will not feed.... I don't mean it has FTF's, I mean this ball busting sack of shit of a "Rifle" won't feed even ONE round from the mag after firing one from the chamber. No, I take that back... It actually IS a FTF rifle. They should change the logo from the ATI logo to a FTF logo. Avoid this like the plague.
I have this rifle and the polymer mags don't do very well unless fully loaded to where it squeeze's out the top of the mag but the steel mag does great no problems at all and it's a very accurate rifle for a budget rifle I have around 6,000 rounds through it and no problems at all
use polyer mags all the time you don't have too fully load them
tree rat76 we meet again! you must be an ati fan, lol
5000 rounds strong, and she's running great, I us3 steel case ammo with no problem's.
Just scored this from Gallery of Guns. Been bad weather here but I will update when I give it a whirl.
I bought mine and needed around 200+ rounds to break in… after that it was working fine.
just put one on layaway at my local gun store. this is my first rifle of any type. buddy of mine has an AR so naturally I took him along so I didn't get ripped off. his has a lot more bells and whistles, but he seemed confident ill be pleased with the purchase. ill post in a few weeks when I get mine out of layaway and throw some lead down range for my own personal opinion.
Yep I would be interested in your opinion.

I don't think i'd bet my life on this AR, but its good enough for what I wanted it for.
don cameron Thanks for the input. Is the accuracy worth a flip? Or is this firearm just good for spray and pray?
it didn't do too bad once I finally figured out where it was shooting. the iron sights i bought are almost worthless in my opinion, but they did give me an idea of where it was going. im sure with better optics, this AR would be pretty good. i just didn't have an extra 200 for a decent scope.
don cameron Ok thank you.
i put mine through all kinds of tests i love it
The insert is not steel. Their website says zinc. I own one and its good to go regardless.
mixflip Put a magnet up to it...
jblcva no need to. I talked to them directly at shot show a few months ago.
It is aluminum
Mine runs 100% really good buy!
At one time I was rebuilding 8 to 10 a week on Anderson lowers.
The Best 489.00 I ever paid for an AR15 Platform 1..I have owned hundreds!
Glock lower on an M4 Platform..
I love this company
i bought one in December had to send it back because of the breakdown pin kept falling out and didn't even shoot it. now it has been 2.5 months and I have yet to shoot it

*update i just bought it today. My taxes came early.
***** Thank you, that's good know.
Where can I get those rails to add attachments mine only has one on top for a scope

just get a quid rail if you have a gi handgard
I have that same problem with my Hawkeye foregrip no where to mount it
What does all the pins look like
is it a threaded barrel if so wat size
Do I have to put the extra bullets in an air tight sealed container?
can you put a 300 AAC on this lower?
Mine fires fine but I put flip sights on it and I had to adjust the rear sight almost full way over to the left in order to get it to fire true at 25 meters. That seems like something is off. Anyone got any ideas?
Hold your face a different way, that might help.
my mags will not seat all the way and will fall out if shot once or if I just wiggle the mag just a little.
just ordered one
I was over at Grab A Gun they are 525.00 now. They were sold out. I think
they are pretty good on their back order tools? I believe ATI has 2 factories? NY

this vs ruger 556?

Dana H I bought 2 of them 489+6bucks. I have yet to have 1 issue..
Glad it's working for you. Mine was to be a bug out rifle. I will stick with higher end brands.
Dana H
Glad it worked out for you. I learned my lesson. Buy once, cry once....

Did you call the tech line, or send it back? Probably not.
@@jamespilbeam209 That was 7 years ago, there was no tech line so I sent them a letter but they never replied!
i want one!
I have one, I love it!
Grab a Gun has them 489.00 they work best with Pmags,,Polymer lower.
Polymer mags..Great entry level AR..
Mine works grate with gen 2 Pmags. I have no issue with bushmaster mags. I need a punch to push out the take down pin cuz it is so tight fitting tho. not a complaint, that makes it shoot nice and tight.

nds101122 No i have not. I use Pmags they are polymer. Heck my steel mags fit tight..
Wtf? I paid $560 for mine... yeah it's my first rifle.. haven't even loaded it yet
I just bought one check out my first video on my page guys. Thanks and can answer any questions about this rifle for you.
