get what you pay for means cheap price cheap product, as far as new frontier yes i read good things about them too but im talking about Omni's quality and not about polymer it self , im fine with plastic.

its late and yes i type like a fifth grader

I went over these in the turners subforum, look there if you're interested.

Summary, the AR15 reciever halves we not designed to be made of plastic and when they are there are high stress failure spots, especially around the rear takedown pin and receiver extension.

Don't bother.

Picked one up from Palmetto State Armory when they were $35. I've read some bad reviews for all the polymer type lower receivers but for $35 I can sure give it a try. I saw an Omni lower some months back go for way more than that at a local shop for more than double what PSA is selling them for now. Not doomsday prepper material, but maybe a lightweight plinker AR15 build material though.
