I've seen on multiple places online at this point that POF has submitted rifles to domestic and foreign military solicitations (and been successful), and I was wondering if anyone had any information on these. I know that they had been an entrant for the USMC's IAR program years ago, with rumors as to which entrant they were on the FOIA report.

I heard that POF had been selected but was overwhelmed by the fulfillment request. They couldn’t push out enough rifles to fulfill on time.
