So, while browsing for SKS stuff on Gunbroker and searching one of my go to parts kits sellers I ran across 2 AR parts kits that were sitting there fairly cheap. I haven't been into ARs for a while, but threw them onto my watchlist anyway and continued my search. I get down to the final hour and the prices were still good so I went ahead and bid, subsequently winning both parts kits. Funny thing was I didn't win any of the SKS stuff he had listed.
After paying for the items I went on the search for a couple of cheap stripped lowers and ended up with 2 ATI OMNI Hybrids from Classic arms for $70 OTD each($15 less than Anderson lowers) Only thing I need to buy to have both complete is a roll pin for the bolt catch, which I can get from my local hardware store.
First one is a PSA mid-length HG w/16" 1:7 5.56NATO HBAR barrel, The second is an AFCOM upper w/16" 1:9 5.56NATO fluted stainless barrel. Not sure I like the green Charging handle on the second one and thinking I need a Magpul grip to go with the buttstock on it as well. Also, I have a PEPR mounted tactical scope I may put on the second one in lieu of the irons then add a micro halo red-dot on top.
Anyway, here are a couple before and after pics of each one, I am pretty pleased with both of them;

A can of matte black spray paint will fix that charger.
Or... Toss it out and ask for a two for one trade. Somebody with a green machine will go for it.

Yeah, I'm not diggin' the A2 grip either. A local guy has a Spikes Tactical grip(Magpul clone, but with weird scrolling in the grip for the "non-slip" part) and a black CH for $15 that I could buy, but I have since dropped the irons and installed the 30mm Tactical scope(1.5x4x36) so looking at a UTG Ambi Sniper's grip Extreem Tactical has on sale for $13.95 with free shipping. One thing though, the scope makes the green CH not look so bad, kind of like a "pull here" type thing. chuckles1 chuckles1

You got all that, barreled uppers, for $70? I giving you money to shop for me like P32 if so. Jeezus, where am I when this goes on.
Great find if so.

It's always good to have at least one AR hanging around thumb1

LOL, I wish I was only into those for $70 each. Just the Lowers were $70 each after shipping and FFL transfer, which is still cheap. Over all, let's just say I'm into them for pre-COVID prices.

OK, I saw all that in the photos and wanted to be sure the barreled uppers weren't in your "prize" also. OK, only P32 gets money gets to shop for me. chuckles1

not one but two AR's, very cool. thumb1

Neat part is, I had communicated with the seller that I was trying to buy multiple items he had listed(he had 3 SKS parts kits as well). I ended up losing out on the SKS items, so when I got back to him for payment on the 2 AR kits, we got to chatting and he not only waved the 3% CC fee, but gave me free shipping as well. He is now in my favorite seller's list.
