I am bidding on one of these on gun broker right now we’re just like to know of any problems or anything that people of been having with these clones,Any help would be appreciated thanks ridge runner
 
I've used them with USC parts without issue. Many reported issues with gen1 especially in 40 & 9. Some receiver issues, some bolt and barrel issues. Gen2 receiver better, but the bolts and barrels still seem to have qc issues. Heard of bolts with wrong extractor installed, feed issues, etc. Sounds like the responsiveness from omega to address warranty issues could be better.

If your not winning, I'd say look into the Tommybuilt TMP
 
Just buy a Tom Bostic UMP receiver.

Buy once, cry once.

Dealing with the Bailies isn't worth the gamble.

YMMV.

Built a real one years ago but somebody offered me way too much stupid money and I had to sell it
 
I bought a GS last year. Had quite a few problems with it. Omega's customer service is nothing to brag about. Buy a Tommy Built if you can afford it. Hell, put it on your credit card if you have to. You may have to wait a while but they're supposed to be excellent guns.
 
Not a lot of $$$ Right now but my best friend is an excellent Smith and he will be able to figure it out
 
Probably late on this one. I have two of the Omega Gideon Shadows. One is 45 and one in 9mm. The 9mm was great out of the box. The 45 had a tight chamber on the barrel. Omega sent a return label and I had it back on about a week and a half with a new barrel. It has functioned fine ever since.

My biggest complaint is the cocking tube support and handle are cheap plastic. It’s easy to swap for an HK one.
