ATI Nomad Break Open Fix

[@adamhicks1563]

Thank you for this. Just got mine today. 12ga 18.5" and it has the same issue. Will take the dremel to it tomorrow.

[@maverickgunworks8777]

Glad it helped

[@paulnelson4425]

You can score it with a utility knife & use linesman pliers - little sanding or filing & opens great 👍 🤠

[@microzap]

Thanks for the video. I had the same issue. I just took a razor knife and shaved off a few slivers. It works great now.

[@jeffreyrobertson7652]

Got 2 Iver Johnson’s mine has wood stock’s and forearms made the same way probably made in the same factory and shipped them out different Doors Stay Safe Stay 2A Strong 🇺🇸

[@arthuralexander1012]

Recently received my new ATI Momad 12GA, had the same issue! Great video to solve the problem.

[@DJbishop666]

My grandfather used to say by golly all the time. Thanks for bringing back that memory!

[@maverickgunworks8777]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@zacmiles5342]

Thank you for this sir . I just got one and the same situation happened to me.. fixed in about 10 mins. Works like a charm now 🙏

[@timlancaster1818]

Thanks Sir. My Nomad had the same problem. Done exactly what you said. Fixed it in 10 minutes.

[@megatrends]

I have the 20 gauge with 18.5" barrel and had no issues. I hadn't heard of this issue, easy fix. Nice video ...

[@paulnelson4425]

one of ours had that issue, the hatfields we bought did not

[@dutchpearson2022]

2 yrs later and still have this problem. So still good info to know if you’re getting one

[@ValhallaKnight2]

Bought this myself same issue. My uncle is a gun smith and showed him the video. He fixed it in 10mins.

[@blackwhitevideos2228]

I just bought a 20ga nomad and I'm have a bit of a issue in fully disassembling the barrel from the receiver. There is one flathead screw and where the barrel breaks down at that I can get out but I can't get the rest of it out so I can take it apart and give it a good cleaning/oiling.

[@kerryroberts9455]

Good presentation, thanks for the heads up. I have one on order.

[@castlecastle503]

I did a purchase from Gallery of Guns. Would not open at all. The employees at the store could not open it either. They ended up returning the item.

[@kevinrollman3101]

My RIA tk113 half the trigger guard which you need to open the action broke off.

[@mikehoward8201]

I purchased the stock black model of this shotgun. No problem with the latch, but a bit stiff to open. I simply opened and shut it about 100 cycles and it “wore in” and now works flawlessly. This is my vehicle carry gun for bugout situation. Put a 5 sheet sleeve on it, and with the hollow butt store a basic cleaning kit, fire starter kit, and a few extra rounds of OO buck! I like the sling eyelets and put a woven paracord sling on it, along with a fiber site. Also a short .22lr sleeve and one box of .22lr in the butt stock.

[@mikehoward8201]

5 shot sleeve…damn spell checker!

[@christophertate6453]

Good video. Thx's for showing us how to fix that. I have an Iver Johnson 20ga that does that. I'll just get my dremel & shave a lil bit off. Thx's again for the video.

[@BullSkater]

I ordered a nomad and when it came in, it was so tight it was super hard to close and the trigger pull was so heavy I could not fire it. I had to pull it apart and use 600 grit to reduce the width of the ejector to allow it to close. I turned out the hammer spring screw till I was able to cock and fire it. It was not fit hardly at all at the factory. I can't believe it made it out the door. . Funny thing is the trigger guard problem operated fine.

[@paulbainjr]

Mine is on its way to me I’ll make sure I save this video thanks!

[@angelarciniega6297]

Hi, anybody knows how to adjust the hammer spring of a ATI 20 gauge nomad?

[@Danogil]

A quick question for you what stocks will fit on these Nomads? I looking at putting wood on to one of these. Yes I know they are a cheap shotgun and the wood will run as much as the shotgun. thank you for any help.

[@Bob-bb3ur]

Do you know of a way to make the trigger and hammer on this easier?

[@murrayandru7527]

Great Info and Demo, Thanks for Sharing !!

[@ibapa888]

Cool video. Thanks for sharing the fix.

[@dakotahopewell7713]

Why does my 410 lock without a bullet but doesn’t lock with a bullet

[@torisefford5671]

So basically you have to ruin your stock to fix it?or what if you don’t have a shaving tool?

[@BrooksBreal]

I've got one this past year and it works flawlessly and I've shot it a lot. All different types of shells. Maybe it was a problem they fixed already. Mime goes above the butt stock. No groove

[@justastudentoflife2510]

Tolerances and QC hey, thankyou, just about to buy one coz it would be perfect for what im looking for but dont expect too much for that price 😅

[@jpe1701]

Have you worked on a lot of these? Have you found a good recoil pad that would fit? I'm not too proud to have one on my 12 gauge. lol.

[@maverickgunworks8777]

Not too many. You just need to stop by your local smith and find a pad close enough. You can grind the pad to fit as needed. A good pad makes a world of deference hah.

[@robbieodum9345]

Awesome video!

[@yamaharider8014]

My local gun dealer has these in 12ga and 20ga. I'm thinking about picking up one in 20ga bc I have a bad right shoulder. Every reviewer comments on the punch of the 12ga. I'll test the gun B4 I buy it for the problem shown...👍😺

[@joshuaselby8744]

I just purchased two of these. One for inventory in my shop and one for my son to turkey hunt with. Both of them will not lock up into battery. Very disappointing. I am calling ATI Monday.

[@maverickgunworks8777]

Will be interesting to hear what they have to say. Clearly a quality issue that needs to be resolved on these models.

[@joshuaselby8744]

I took another look after watching your video. I discovered that on both the guns I have, the extractor is too long on the bottom. This keeps it from recessing back into place when closing. I should be able to fix it with a file. Just poor quality control.

[@joshuaselby8744]

@@maverickgunworks8777 I ended up sending them both back to ATI. They remilled the ejectors. They seem to be working now but I discovered more problems. First, the picatinny rail is not milspec. I had to file it out to fit a red dot on it. Second, my 10 year old son can barely cock the hammer back or pull the trigger. I am definitely not a fan of these and I do not recommend them.

[@nathenbarto2199]

​@joshuaselby8744 I think there is an hammer spring adjustment screw you can get to when you remove the buttstock.

[@betweenthebars19]

I purchased a .410 and 20g at the same time. The .410 breaks open flawless. The 20 not so much. It’ll open but you have to really slam it back to open. Not ideal. It goes to show that it’s not a perfect gun, but for the price… I don’t mind trimming a bit off.

[@Andrewlikesguns]

I had a similar issue, only it was the screw holding down the trigger guard causing the problem. The head was too big, blocking the thing from going back all the way.

[@L1A1]

"Which hole is it???" (@ 6:49) --- LOL!

[@ronaldalleman2111]

Nice work

[@davidlee8551]

Thank you !

[@kenolsen208]

Take the lil dremal bit 1/8 and three swips to the plastic and done !😅

[@rickywatson2119]

I bought one a few weeks ago it's a deer and hog killing machine 3"#4 buck 41 pellets and it's light as hell you can tell it's junk but with the XXFull choke anything within 75 yards it's eating buckshot

[@raybunch8913]

I had one I couldn’t close

[@joshuaselby8744]

How did you fix it? Or did you send it back?

[@ocelotcake9359]

hello and thank from a small German farm in south brazil called Paraiso do sul just fix my pop pops guns cheers

[@couerleroi1]

Thanks

[@MrBurns-tf4if]

I think they may have to recall those. Maybe not a safety issues since it is locking up solid, but I mean damn. Come on ATI wake tf up and don't put stuff out like this. Whoever is supposed to quality check these should be fired and replaced with someone that will actually look at the firearm.

[@chivone21]

What am I suppose to do when it breaks open, but you have to hold the friggin' gun against your leg to completely open it? It is so tight it's almost impossible to break it in half to load a shell. It's not even funny! Wait until normal wear loosens it? That could be a long time

[@michaelchen8643]

Here’s an example why firearms products made in the US might be better as any kind of quality assurance issues can be addressed a lot quicker with a lot more responsiveness If you scroll down what gentleman posting requests us to “ translate to Turkish” Türkçeye çevir Maybe having an external latch on top like an HR shotgun on on Winchester model 37 model shotgun might be a better idea

[@marshmellominiapple]

that's so dumb... fixed mine with an xacto knife.

[@georgeoronzio5239]

That happened to me sent it back 2 weeks later got it back Lol

[@jasonmyers1002]

Why is it necessary to modify the stock on a newly purchased firearm in order for it to function correctly? This is a major QC issue! Everyone should return them until the company gets their head out of their @ss and delivers a firearm that functions properly out of the box...

[@FierceMouse]

American Tactical made in Turkey

[@talhiiiiiiiiiiii]

Bahahahhahahah

[@Larry-gn1xj]

Windy video. Consolidate. Not all of us are retired picking peanuts out of our shit.

[@maverickgunworks8777]

Then watch something else or there is a control to speed up videos Einstein. Lol clown world we live in folks you can't make this stuff up. Go clean your poop fella.

[@rilliep1]

I won mine in a raffel.. what a poorly Manufactured weapon
