I have been custom building AR15’s for some years now and thought I give these ATI lower polymer’s a try(now that it’s tough to find the Alum one’s), and over all am impressed by them. The quality is very good, they are made of a super tough type polymer, have a very hard surface feel. I wonder if these are made of Makrolon. Final assembly is on the tight side but this is even stated on the ATI site because it’s better to need to remove a little material to make a better fit than have a loose fit and no fix. Was even suprised the color is a very good match with the upper color on the Alum material of my PSA’s. So over all suprised and impressed, will buy more if I can find any more.

I know a lot of people don’t like the idea of polymer guns, but if done right, I think their a good a idea.

Look at HK and Glock. They are some of the most respected companies in the firearm community and they build a lot of their guns out of polymer.

The HK Mark 23 can withstand some of the harshest torture and shines even though it’s made out polymer.

My dad just bought a NFA LW15 lower and I really like it! The finish and fit is fantastic. I’m considering buying one. If the ATI OMNI is anything like NFA, then I say go for it.

i have the lw15genII polymer lower withan RGUNS m4 5.56 upper and it is a great gun, i would get one of these anyday over a stamped or milled reciever. people complain about polymer but glock has been doing it for years and nobody calls them cheap… i have put over 6000 rounds through it (all different brands) and this thing still performs like the it did with the first magazine…

If you like the idea of a cheap, lightweight polymer receiver, you might want to consider New Frontier Armory’s version too (http://www.lw15.com/).

There’s not point to this. But people buy this garbage like crazy. It will sell for sure.

Seems too cheap to me, but I guess plastic isn’t as expensive to injection mold as aluminum is to machine. I wonder if there is any metal reinforced areas to withstand of the the repeatedly moved areas, pins, bolt release and such.
