Okay, so from what I can tell POF makes a good product that is well reviewed and *generally* well thought of but quite often I find that people talk about how they are not reliaible? If I am going to spend $2000 on a rifle, it should be durable. Does anyone have experiance with POF rifles? Any other thoughts are appreciated as long as you are trying to be helpful, I have already read about peoples sisters, brothers, aunts gun that broke Thank you!

You might try the piston sub forum. Since you asked for thoughts...get a DI rifle. +1 on the DI. If I was to buy a piston gun it'd be the H&K, other than that, no thanks. Buy a Colt for half that price, or a BCM upper and PSA lower, for almost half THAT price and have a much higher quality weapon that you can depend on for barely over 1/4th of what you were going to spend on that thing |

One thing I like is the np3 coating, how much is that aftermarket to pay for the coating or is there a similar coating? Quoted:

For that money you can get the KAC SR-15. |

I have two POF rifles and neither will accept pmags due to the tightness of the mag well, very very annoying !! .308 or 5.56?...maybe I missed it. I have a complete factory POF lower, Gen3, in 5.56, and it uses all my pmags without issue. On cost of DI vs. piston, I think one just has to shop around a bit more to find a decent price point. I have a complete LWRC piston factory upper sitting on that complete POF factory lower...both brand new. The upper is an M6A2-S. The combined price is $1200, and IMO that is an outstanding value. I don't quite understand a lot of the heartburn over piston vs DI guns. I own both and have no particular sore spot with either platform...as long as you stay with decent components. |

I have a POF .308...
It has been a good rifle. It will group under an inch at 100 yards with good ammo if I do my part. I've fired several hundred rounds and had two malfunctions due to bad ammunition. One was a bad reload and the other was the cheapest steel case stuff I could find. It runs great with pmags. I'm not crazy about the extra height above the bore when mounting sights or optics, but they are nice rifles.

Good to know. POF is currently at Gen4, so I guess they addressed that issue at Gen3. Quoted:

Both my POFs are genII in 5.56. Neither accept standard pmags. Good to know. POF is currently at Gen4, so I guess they addressed that issue at Gen3. More of an inconvienence than an 'issue', and not something I'd fault the gun for. Odds are gen 2 was before Magpul came out with the 7.62 mags? |

A friend of mine bought one.
It was accurate. My sample size it one.... sorry for what they cost every one should per like a kitten IMO The problem was it was rare it would string more than 2-3 rounds out in a row. Multiple range trips and a trip back to pof it still wouldn't run...... AT least 8 different kinds of ammo nothing worked in it......

| I have a 416 in 5.56 and a .308 and both take Pmags, granted the first Pmags were tight and would not drop free but isn't that why Magpul came out with gen 2 and 3? and now they have models that fit the SCARs and others that are supposed to take standard USGI mags but the rifles are built too tight? |
