Maintenance and Wear Parts

POF has been manufacturing firearms and firearm components since 2002. Through extensive testing and use we have learned that almost any machine including all firearms will have certain parts that could occasionally require maintenance, adjustments or replacement.  “Wearable” or “Consumable” parts are those parts that by their very nature, through use (functioning) will not maintain absolute factory specifications forever and will need to be monitored periodically for functionality and safety. Some of these parts may have a finite life cycle which could be affected by use, abuse, or maintenance.

To address these parts on our products, it is recommended that a POF firearm be disassembled and inspected by a certified POF armorer at least annually. Many of the problems that The Factory has encountered with customer’s returned firearms involve these “Wearable” or “Consumable” parts and or improper maintenance or cleaning. 

“Wearable” or “Consumable” Parts

Springs

Springs are very important to the safe and reliable operation of any firearm. They tend to be one of the most overlooked parts when performing maintenance. When they become worn through use or age they tend to anneal or take a set (become weak). This can change or adversely affect the operation or reliability of the firearm.  In addition, any spring can be damaged, weakened, worn, or broken based on the use or abuse of the firearm and therefore should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

 

Extractors

Extractors are a high use component that must function correctly every time the firearm feeds or extracts a cartridge from the chamber to complete the cycles of operation. Because of this they are considered a “Wearable” part and should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

 

Ejectors

 Ejectors are also a high use component that must function correctly every time the firearm ejects a cartridge from the chamber. Because of this they are considered a “Wearable” part and should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

Op-Rods

Op-Rods operate any time the firearm is cycled. Again, depending on the use or abuse of the firearm this part can be subjected to high impact stress and should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

 

Firing Pins

The Firing Pin contacts the cartridge primer anytime a round is loaded and anytime the rifle is fired. This can cause impact stress to the face of the firing pin and therefore it should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

Cam Pins

A Cam Pins is a crucial component that operates every time the rifle is cycled and is the main component that locks and un-locks the action. This part is a high cycle component and therefore should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

Although we recommend that “Wearable” or Consumable” parts be inspected regularly it does not mean that these parts need to be replaced every time they are inspected. POF products are manufactured to the highest standards and tend to outlast other products on the market. To ensure long life and reliability of our products we recommend these inspections to insure continued reliability and long life of your POF product.

PARTS POLICY

Our Service Department maintains a full complement of replacement parts.  Even though most gunsmiths have the knowledge, training, and the ability to make necessary repairs to your firearm, the skill and workmanship of any particular 3rd party gunsmith is totally beyond our control.

Should your firearm ever require service, we strongly recommend that you return it to POF-USA.  A firearm is a precision instrument and some replacement parts will require individual fitting to ensure correct operation.  A wrong part, improper fitting, or incorrect mechanical adjustment may result in an unsafe condition or dangerous malfunction, damage to the firearm, or cause possible serious injury to the shooter or others.

POF-USA parts may only be installed in conjunction with: 1) Other parts that were designed and/or sold by POF-USA or 2) Parts that adhere to the safety and functional dimensional requirements of the M16, M4 carbine, or any subsequent variant military specifications or data packages.

IF ANY PART IS ORDERED WITHOUT RETURNING THE FIREARM TO POF-USA, the customer bears full responsibility for ensuring that the part supplied is correct for their particular firearm and is properly installed and fitted by a qualified gunsmith.

POF-USA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FUNCTIONING OF ANY FIREARM IN WHICH REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE INSTALLED BY OTHERS.

Adjustable Gas Piston Settings - 3 Position Gas Block

Gas Plug Setting (3 Position Gas Block)

“NORMAL” mode

“SUPPRESSED” mode

By rotating the Gas Plug 180˚ clockwise from the “Normal Mode” position, you introduce a smaller hole for gas to travel through the Gas Block. Setting the Gas Plug to “Suppressed Mode” DOES NOT make the firearm any quieter, this mode simply compensates for the change in gas pressure to allow the firearm to cycle properly.

NOTE:

Putting a suppressor on your firearm changes the cycling characteristics of the host. In doing so causes unwanted malfunctions and increased wear on the system. Please be aware of all risk by attaching a suppressor.

“OFF” mode

By rotating the Gas Plug 90˚ counterclockwise from the “Normal Mode” position, gas travel through the Gas Block is blocked entirely. This prevents cycling, ejection, and feeding, turning your semi-auto rifle into a manual bolt-action rifle.

The standard upright position regulates gas pressure perfectly for unsuppressed fire.

Inverting the gas plug regulates gas pressure for proper operation with a suppressor.

Rotate the gas plug 90º (as shown) to prevent cycling all together. Your semi-auto is now a bolt-action!

3 position piston firearm Gas Plug orientation guide

Adjustable Gas Piston Settings - 5 Position Gas Block

The POF-USA gas piston operating system has an adjustable gas block that controls the amount of gas that is used to cycle the bolt carrier.

The notched side of the gas plug denotes that it is in “NORMAL” mode when it is facing up. The rifle should cycle normally with most commercial ammunition.

Depress the gas plug detent; rotate the gas plug 45° so the gas plug detent is facing at a 45° angle, this denotes that the gas plug is in ADVERSE mode using less gas to compensate for some ammunition.

Depressing the detent and rotating to the 90° position denotes that the gas plug is in “OFF” mode. This shuts off the gas from the gas block completely and causes the rifle to function as a single-shot rifle.

By depressing the gas plug detent and rotating the gas plug 180° from “NORMAL” mode, the smooth side of the gas plug is now facing up. The firearm is now in “SUPPRESSED” mode. Gas in this mode is restricted to compensate for the added backpressure from a suppressor. A second suppressed mode setting is available with an increased gas flow which may be required with some suppressors. Depress the gas plug detent and rotate the smooth face to a 45° angle, this denotes that the gas plug is in the “SUPPRESSED2” mode.

NOTE:

Putting a suppressor on your firearm changes the cycling characteristics of the host. In doing so causes unwanted malfunctions and increased wear on the system. Please be aware of all risk by attaching a suppressor.

Breaking In Your New Firearm

Breaking In Your New 308 WIN, 6.5 Creedmoor, or 6MM Creedmoor Firearm:
  1. Thoroughly clean the chamber of your new firearm, and clean after every shooting session.
  2. Generously lube the bolt carrier group (BCG) with cleaning and lubrication products specifically designed for use on firearms. As your firearm breaks in less lubrication will be needed and after a few hundred rounds just a light wipe will be sufficient.
  3. Put a little lubricant in the buffer tube.
  4. Never use lubrication in your gas system. The gas system should always be run without lubricant. You can clean the gas block the same as you would your barrel just make sure you wipe it dry afterwards.
  5. Avoid lead tipped ammo unless you are comfortable with polishing your feed ramps.
  6. There is no break-in required for the barrel, just clean it at the end of each shooting session.
  7. POF-USA only recommends the use of factory new ammo and cannot offer you advice or tips regarding handloading or re-loaded ammo.
  8. POF-USA only recommends the use of Magpul GEN 3 PMAGS and/or Lancer L7AWM magazines in your any of your .308 WIN, 6.5 Creedmoor, or 6MM Creedmoor caliber firearms.

Buffer System for Revolution / Rogue

Buffer System for Revolution / REVOLUTION DI / Rogue

The bolt carrier on the Revolution (CMR), Revolution DI, and Rogue, requires a longer stroke in order to clear the longer .308 cartridges and/or spent cases. 

Because of this, these firearm models use a proprietary (longer) buffer tube as well as a proprietary buffer spring.

STANDARD LENGTH AR15/M16 CARBINE BUFFER TUBES (RECEIVER EXTENSIONS), AND BUFFER/ACTION SPRINGS WILL NOT WORK IN THE REVOLUTION, REVOLUTION DI, OR ROGUE MODELS. 
DO NOT USE THEM, THEY WILL NOT WORK, AND YOU MAY DAMAGE YOUR FIREARM.

Download/view the file below for a visual representation of the correct buffer tube and spring to use in case you aren't sure.

Basic Firearms Maintenance
 
After each shooting session or 250 rounds, whichever comes first, or whenever your firearm has been exposed to sand, dust, extreme humidity, condensation, immersion in water, or other adverse conditions; disassemble, clean, and lubricate it using the techniques shown in the videos below. 

                  Use only cleaning and lubrication products specifically designed for use on firearms.

                  Do not use wire brushes on aluminum surfaces such as the upper/lower receivers, because this can scratch the finish.

                  Follow all manufactures instructions and cautions when using cleaning and lubrication products.

                  Wherever the term CLP (Cleaner-Lubricant-Protectant) or the words lube or lubrication are used in this manual, it is interpreted to mean that you can use any lubricant designed for use on firearms.

                  Wherever propellant gases directly contact operating system parts, carbon will build up.  Carbon cannot be removed with a brush and must be scrapped.

 

Basic Procedures:

  1. With the magazine removed from the firearm, the selector in the safe position, and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, disassemble the firearm.
  2. Clean the barrel bore with a bore brush, patches, and solvent using a cleaning rod.
  3. Remove powder residue from all components and wipe with a clean cloth.
  4. Only use a light application of oil on the riding surfaces of the bolt carrier group. Excessive oil will attract dust and dirt and may congeal in cold weather possibly interfering with the safe operation and reliable function of the firearm.

Dictator Gas Block Tuning & Maintenance

Dictator gas block

Tuning Instructions

Note:

  • This gas block will have a minimum of 9 positions, including the fully closed “off” positions. Your gas block may have 1 or 2 additional open positions.
  • By design, there are 3 different tools you might use to adjust your regulator. The first is the custom wrench provided with the gas block. It is designed with a finger loop that will also allow it to be attached to your key chain. It also is small enough for storage in many grips. The custom wrench has a unique shape because it has been optimized for use with POF-USA handguards. However, it can be used if you have installed your DIctator™ with a handguard that does not extend past the gas block. The second method is a 3/32” hex wrench. The third is a flat head screwdriver.
  1. Remove any magazines or ammunition feeding devices from the firearm and make sure the rifle is clear and unloaded.
  2. Turn the regulator in towards the gas block until it can no longer rotate. This is the “off” position. In this position, the gas will be completely blocked from entering the gas tube. In this setting, you will have to cycle the gun manually.
  3. Turn the regulator in the opposite direction as step 2. You should hear and/or feel a “click”. Each click is one position. Turn the regulator to the first click. You have slightly opened the gas port.
  4. Load one round in a magazine and insert it into your firearm. Following the rules of gun safety, fire the weapon.
  5. Observe whether the bolt carrier cycled back and was held open by the bolt catch. In the first position, it is not likely.
  6. Remove the magazine and clear the firearm.
  7. Repeat steps 3-5 to open the gas flow incrementally until the bolt carrier cycles back and is held open by the bolt catch.
  8. Remove the magazine and clear the firearm.
  9. Load a few rounds in the magazine and insert the magazine into your firearm. Following the rules of gun safety, fire the weapon consecutively and observe the ejection pattern of the brass. If the muzzle is 12 o’clock and the buttstock is 6 o’clock, you are looking to achieve consistent ejection at 3 o’clock.
  10. If the ejection is somewhere between 6 o’clock and 3 o’clock, repeat the clearing, firing, observing, clearing, and adjusting cycle, until the ejection does reach 3 o’clock. Your rifle is set.
  11. After shooting over time, you may notice your ejection becoming sluggish and moving back towards 6’oclock. If this is the case, remove the magazine, clear the firearm, and turn the regulator to open the gas flow.

Maintenance and cleaning

After extended use, it may become difficult to adjust the regulator. Below are the instructions for disassembly and cleaning. Note: The included diagram may be referenced for part descriptions and information.

  1. Remove any magazines or ammunition feeding devices from the firearm and make sure the rifle is clear and unloaded.
  2. Using a drift pin punch, remove the Regulator Retaining Pin (Item 5) from the gas block.
  3. Spray some carbon cleaner into the hole at the top of the Gas Block (Item 1), and allow it to soak in. A liberal application may be required.
  4. Using the custom POF-USA wrench, a flat screwdriver or 3/32” hex wrench, work the regulator (Item 4) back and forth to break up the carbon built up on the threads.
  5. Using the custom POF-USA wrench, a flat screwdriver or 3/32” hex wrench, turn the regulator until it is completely unthreaded. If it will not completely unthread, repeat steps 3-4 until it will. Once you have passed the threads, the Regulator Detent Ball (Item 3), may engage them when attempting to remove the regulator from the gas block. If this occurs, it is recommended to continue “unthreading” the regulator until the threads have cleared the ball.
  6. Remove the regulator from the gas block. Be aware of the location of the ball detent.
  7. Remove the ball detent and store it in a safe location.
  8. The ball detent spring (item 2) will likely be held in place by force. For replacement purposes, please know that the spring is an AR15/M16 extractor spring. You may choose to remove it or not.
  9. Spray carbon cleaner into the open bore. Scrub and flush out the built-up carbon.
  10. If you removed the ball detent spring, reinstall it. Push it all of the way down into the counterbore.
  11. Place the ball detent into the pocket in the bore. It should rest in place.
  12. Taking care not to displace the ball detent, carefully install the regulator. If there is resistance when the threads interact with the ball detent, “screw” the threads over the detent. When the threads on the regulator come into contact with the threads on the gas block, you may want to twist the regulator in the unthreading direction while lightly pressing it into the gas block. You should be able to feel the thread starts to align. Screw the regulator all the way in.
  13. Reinstall the regulator retaining pin.
After each shooting session or 250 rounds, whichever comes first, or whenever your firearm has been exposed to sand, dust, extreme humidity, condensation, immersion in water, or other adverse conditions; disassemble, clean, and lubricate your firearm. 

                  Use only cleaning and lubrication products specifically designed for use on firearms.

                  Do not use wire brushes on aluminum surfaces such as the upper/lower receivers, because this can scratch the finish.

                  Follow all manufactures instructions and cautions when using cleaning and lubrication products.

                  Wherever the term CLP (Cleaner-Lubricant-Protectant) or the words lube or lubrication are used in this manual, it is interpreted to mean that you can use any lubricant designed for use on firearms.

PSG 22 Ammunition

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING AMMUNITION FOR THE PSG 22

The PSG 22 is a short barreled blow back operated 22 LR pistol. It is chambered for and designed to properly function with the .22 caliber Long Rifle rimfire cartridge. We only recommend the use of high velocity or hyper-velocity ammunition, manufactured to U.S. industry standards, in the PSG 22 for optimal function.

Due to its blow-back operation, a fast cycle of the action is required to achieve proper ejection, extraction and hammer reset. When we say "fast cycle" we are talking about the amount of burnt powder a fired case ignites to cycle back the bolt carrier. The PSG 22 needs as much gas pressure as possible to eject, extract, reset the hammer, and feed a new round, much like other 22 LR pistol. 

Low pressure, lower powered, or low quality ammunition is often inconsistent and anything below High velocity will struggle to cycle properly when not fired suppressed.

POF recommends a break-in of around 500 rounds of high velocity such as those listed on the recommended ammunition list. 

standard velocity / match ammo

If access to high velocity is not available, the use of standard velocity should suffice, but please avoid most match loads as they are very underpowered.
In many cases some subsonic ammunition has more pressure than some match loads. It is the nature of a match 22lr round to be sub-sonic as the bullet will stabilize better.

Post Break in / experimentation

After the break-in period is complete the gun should run most all types of ammo. As is the case with most all 22lr firearms they are all independently picky.

Some experimenting will be necessary to find the best combo for YOUR gun.

YOUR gun will likely vary from any other that you pick up off the shelf. Even box to box, 22lr ammunition varies greatly.

subsonics and suppressors

The PSG 22 will also have issues cycling subsonic ammunition with the use of a suppressor. There is No guarantee that it will function properly WITHOUT a suppressor.

It takes time for some springs in this weapon to set and have a long life. This is not a .223 or a .308 where the bolt moves rapidly to take care of this in a few shots. It takes extra time with a 22lr.

WARNING:

POF-USA only recommends the use of factory new ammunition loaded in accordance with U.S. industry practice and cannot offer any advice or tips regarding hand loaded or
reloaded ammunition. Reloading is a science and improperly loaded ammunition can be extremely dangerous. Damages due to high pressure, reloaded, or non-standard ammunition is not covered under warranty.

Use only high-quality, original, factory-manufactured ammunition. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent, or damaged. Do not oil cartridges. Do not spray aerosol-type lubricants, preservative, or cleaners directly onto cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges. Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions. Use only ammunition of the caliber for which your firearm is chambered. The proper caliber is permanently engraved on your barrel; never attempt to use ammunition of any other caliber.

Death, serious injury and damage can result from the use of wrong ammunition; bore obstructions, powder overloads, or incorrect cartridge components. Always wear eye protection and hearing protection while discharging your firearm.

ONLY USE FACTORY AMMUNITION LOADED TO U.S. INDUSTRY STANDARDS

POF-USA SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY WHATSOEVER OCCURING IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THE USE IN POF-USA FIREARMS OF FAULTY, OR NON-STANDARD, OR “REMANUFACTURED”, OR HAND LOADED (RELOADED) AMMUNITION, OR OF CARTRIDGES OTHER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH THE FIREARM WAS ORIGINALLY CHAMBERED.

DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS, CLEANING FIREARMS, OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM, AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. MAINTAIN ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER EXPOSURE. SHOOTING OR CLEANING FIREARMS MAY EXPOSE YOU TO LEAD.

PSG 22 Magazines

PSG 22 - magazines

It is important to note that the ejector for this platform is the left side feed lip, just like every other firearm that uses 10/22 style magazines.

Below are notes regarding our results with PSG 22 compatible magazines.

Ruger Rotary 10Rd AKA BX-1:
Most consistent but should be cleaned on a regular basis. Factory spring tension can be inconsistent. If the magazine is not dropping free it is due to inconsistencies in the mold of the magazine. A light 30 sec sanding on each side of the mag will reveal the high spots and then the mag will drop free no problem.

Ruger BX-25 / BX-15:
Known for inconsistent feeding and feeding related issues. The springs are inconsistent and get bound up and just in general are not linear. The only solutions for this are the quick fixes found online with a quick google search of BX-25 feeding issues or just trying out several mags till you find one that works well. Also, the ejector on this magazine is the smallest ejector on any mag we have tested. This leads to issues with ejection. The BX-25 is also the narrowest magazine and has side to side play.

Butler Creek Steel Lips:
Same issues with spring tension as BX-25. When buying new ones you can usually break it in by loading the magazine and letting set for 48 hours, unloading and repeat. Unfortunately, these mags are friction welded together so cleaning them is not really an option. These magazines tend to feed well and also have the biggest ejector out of any of the mags that we have tested.

Butler Creek Hot Lips:
Have plastic feed lips and are not recommended. Any 10/22 magazine with plastic feed lips like the old Ramlines and Promag mags are also not recommended. The plastic feed lips wears out due to the feed lips doubling as the weapons ejector.

Tactical Innovations:
Very smooth-running magazine, no spring tension issues in our experience. This magazine also has a very large ejector and is the tightest fitting in our mag well. They are friction welded and they are not very consistent, but they always lean on the wider side.

GSG Drum Mag:
Ours had horrible spring tension issues and we never could get the rounds to present well and could not do much testing with it.

Promag:
In testing a variety of the Promag magazines we noticed that every mag had different feed lips and ejectors. This caused major feeding and ejection issues. We never could get the rounds to feed and eject consistently and could not do much testing with them.

Any other magazines on the market we have not had the opportunity to test.

PSG 22 Maintenance

psg 22 maintenance

This maintenance supplement should help address all cleaning and maintenance issues with your PSG-22. 

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE PSG 22 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE SUPPLEMENT.

After each shooting session or 250 rounds, whichever comes first, or whenever your firearm has been exposed to sand, dust, extreme humidity, condensation, immersion in water, or other adverse conditions; disassemble, clean, and lubricate your firearm.

                  Use only cleaning and lubrication products specifically designed for use on firearms.

                  Do not use wire brushes on aluminum surfaces such as the upper/lower receivers, because this can scratch the finish.

                  Follow all manufactures instructions and cautions when using cleaning and lubrication products.

                  Wherever the term CLP (Cleaner-Lubricant-Protectant) or the words lube or lubrication are used in this manual, it is interpreted to mean that you can use any lubricant designed for use on firearms.

                  Wherever propellant gases directly contact operating system parts, carbon will build up.  Carbon cannot be removed with a brush and must be scrapped.

Renegade Handguard

Renegade Handguard

POF Renegade handguard

 

The Renegade and Renegade Plus use a unique mounting and locking system for the handguard. The narrow profile handguard is slipped over the barrel nut and locked horizontally into place using two QD sling mount blocks: one on the right side and one on the left side. Additionally, two clamp screws located at the bottom of the handguard are tightened to effectively clamp the handguard into place.

POF Renegade handguard

Once the handguard is slid into position the cutout in the barrel nut should be visible in the window of the handguard as shown here.

POF Renegade handguard

The square “block” on the sling mount will fit into the window of the handguard and “lock” into the barrel nut. While holding the block forward against the barrel nut, the two screws are then tightened on the QD sling mount block to 25 inch-pounds. This process must be followed on both the right and left side of the weapon.

Revolution / Rogue Bolt and Firing Pin Transition

Transition from V1 to v2 bolt and firing pin for Revolution/Rogue

The bolt on the Revolution (CMR), Revolution DI, and Rogue, has been redesigned. 

Due to the nature of the redesign, the first version (V1) of the bolt and firing pin will not be compatible with the the current version (V2).

Download/view the file below for a visual representation and explanation of and for the differences. 

Revolution / Rogue Charging Handle Compatibility

Technical Bulletin - Revolution / Rogue charging handles should not be changed out

POF-USA and Mil-Spec AR-15/M-16/5.56/2.23 charging handles are compatible with the Revolution and Rogue platforms. Some other manufacturer's charging handles may not be compatible with the Revolution and Rogue platforms due to them using different internal geometry than Mil-Spec. This difference can cause the carrier key to impact the channel of the charging handle resulting in damage to the charging handle and/or the firearm in the indicated area.

Revolution / Rogue Extractor Spring Orientation

Technical Bulletin - Revolution Extractor Spring Orientation

The CMR/Revolution is a new model in the Patriot Ordnance Factory line of firearms. With the help of customer feedback and our own internal testing we have discovered that the orientation of the extractor spring is important to the functioning/cycling of the weapon. If you experience jams and ejection failures, especially after cleaning the bolt, then you should re-check the orientation of the spring in the extractor. The extractor spring has a small end and a large end. If the small end of the spring is placed into the pocket then the spring can work loose and either sit at an angle or completely come out of the pocket. The result is malfunctioning in extraction and feeding.

* Maintenance and Wear Parts *

Maintenance and Wear Parts

POF has been manufacturing firearms and firearm components since 2002. Through extensive testing and use we have learned that almost any machine including all firearms will have certain parts that could occasionally require maintenance, adjustments or replacement.  “Wearable” or “Consumable” parts are those parts that by their very nature, through use (functioning) will not maintain absolute factory specifications forever and will need to be monitored periodically for functionality and safety. Some of these parts may have a finite life cycle which could be affected by use, abuse, or maintenance.

To address these parts on our products, it is recommended that a POF firearm be disassembled and inspected by a certified POF armorer at least annually. Many of the problems that The Factory has encountered with customer’s returned firearms involve these “Wearable” or “Consumable” parts and or improper maintenance or cleaning. 

“Wearable” or “Consumable” Parts

Springs

Springs are very important to the safe and reliable operation of any firearm. They tend to be one of the most overlooked parts when performing maintenance. When they become worn through use or age they tend to anneal or take a set (become weak). This can change or adversely affect the operation or reliability of the firearm.  In addition, any spring can be damaged, weakened, worn, or broken based on the use or abuse of the firearm and therefore should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

 

Extractors

Extractors are a high use component that must function correctly every time the firearm feeds or extracts a cartridge from the chamber to complete the cycles of operation. Because of this they are considered a “Wearable” part and should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

 

Ejectors

 Ejectors are also a high use component that must function correctly every time the firearm ejects a cartridge from the chamber. Because of this they are considered a “Wearable” part and should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

Op-Rods

Op-Rods operate any time the firearm is cycled. Again, depending on the use or abuse of the firearm this part can be subjected to high impact stress and should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

 

Firing Pins

The Firing Pin contacts the cartridge primer anytime a round is loaded and anytime the rifle is fired. This can cause impact stress to the face of the firing pin and therefore it should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

Cam Pins

A Cam Pins is a crucial component that operates every time the rifle is cycled and is the main component that locks and un-locks the action. This part is a high cycle component and therefore should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

Although we recommend that “Wearable” or Consumable” parts be inspected regularly it does not mean that these parts need to be replaced every time they are inspected. POF products are manufactured to the highest standards and tend to outlast other products on the market. To ensure long life and reliability of our products we recommend these inspections to insure continued reliability and long life of your POF product.

PARTS POLICY

Our Service Department maintains a full complement of replacement parts.  Even though most gunsmiths have the knowledge, training, and the ability to make necessary repairs to your firearm, the skill and workmanship of any particular 3rd party gunsmith is totally beyond our control.

Should your firearm ever require service, we strongly recommend that you return it to POF-USA.  A firearm is a precision instrument and some replacement parts will require individual fitting to ensure correct operation.  A wrong part, improper fitting, or incorrect mechanical adjustment may result in an unsafe condition or dangerous malfunction, damage to the firearm, or cause possible serious injury to the shooter or others.

POF-USA parts may only be installed in conjunction with: 1) Other parts that were designed and/or sold by POF-USA or 2) Parts that adhere to the safety and functional dimensional requirements of the M16, M4 carbine, or any subsequent variant military specifications or data packages.

IF ANY PART IS ORDERED WITHOUT RETURNING THE FIREARM TO POF-USA, the customer bears full responsibility for ensuring that the part supplied is correct for their particular firearm and is properly installed and fitted by a qualified gunsmith.

POF-USA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FUNCTIONING OF ANY FIREARM IN WHICH REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE INSTALLED BY OTHERS.

Accuracy

HOW ACCURATE ARE YOUR FIREARMS?

All of our 5.56, .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 300 BLK chambered Firearms are guaranteed MOA or better. Many variables are involved when shooting for accuracy or determining groups such as environment, ammo, optics, and individual shooter ability.

Ammunition

Can I shoot 5.56×45 mm NATO ammunition with my P415/Renegade?

Yes. Our 5.56 barrels are  chambered using a 5.56 NATO reamer, which allows the use of both 5.56x45mm NATO and .223 Remington ammunition.

Can I shoot 7.62×51 mm NATO ammunition with my P308/Revolution?

Yes. Our 308 barrels are chambered using a .308 Win reamer which allows the use of both .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 mm NATO ammunition.

Can I shoot steel-cased ammunition, like Wolf, in my POF-USA rifles?

Yes, in fact POF-USA does a lot of testing with WOLF ammo. However, it is important to remember to thoroughly clean the throat area of the chamber after a session with steel-cased ammo.

WARNING:

POF-USA only recommends the use of factory new ammunition loaded in accordance with U.S. industry practice and cannot offer any advice or tips regarding hand loaded or
reloaded ammunition. Reloading is a science and improperly loaded ammunition can be extremely dangerous. Damages due to high pressure, reloaded, or non-standard ammunition is not covered under warranty.

Use only high-quality, original, factory-manufactured ammunition. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent, or damaged. Do not oil cartridges. Do not spray aerosol-type lubricants, preservative, or cleaners directly onto cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges. Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions. Use only ammunition of the caliber for which your firearm is chambered. The proper caliber is permanently engraved on your barrel; never attempt to use ammunition of any other caliber.

Death, serious injury and damage can result from the use of wrong ammunition; bore obstructions, powder overloads, or incorrect cartridge components. Always wear eye protection and hearing protection while discharging your firearm.

ONLY USE FACTORY AMMUNITION LOADED TO U.S. INDUSTRY STANDARDS

POF-USA SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY WHATSOEVER OCCURING IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THE USE IN POF-USA FIREARMS OF FAULTY, OR NON-STANDARD, OR “REMANUFACTURED”, OR HAND LOADED (RELOADED) AMMUNITION, OR OF CARTRIDGES OTHER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH THE FIREARM WAS ORIGINALLY CHAMBERED.

DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS, CLEANING FIREARMS, OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM, AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. MAINTAIN ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER EXPOSURE. SHOOTING OR CLEANING FIREARMS MAY EXPOSE YOU TO LEAD.

Barrel Questions

Why doesn’t POF-USA offer chrome-lined barrels?

All of our barrels are nitride heat-treated to a case of 70 HRC. Our barrels shoot consistently better groups on all of our weapon systems than chrome-lined barrels after a high round count. Our barrels are easier to clean and don’t copper foul like chrome-lined barrels. Chrome lining can separate away from barrel surface over time. Chrome lining also does not plate evenly on the entire surface of the bore and grooves.

Can I use the Drop in Trigger in a Pistol Caliber firearm?

  • POF-USA does not recommend the use of any POF-USA drop-in trigger in any 9MM, 40 S&W, 45 ACP, 10MM, or any other Pistol Caliber Firearm. The use of a POF-USA drop-in trigger in any Pistol Caliber Firearm can lead to damage to the trigger, the firearm, and can cause bodily injury or death to the shooter or bystanders. The use of a POF-USA drop-in trigger in any Pistol Caliber Firearm will VOID the triggers warranty.

Restricted State Magazines

What magazines are shipped with Restricted State Models?

High-capacity magazines are unavailable in certain parts of our country including: Colorado, Connecticut, California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York.

All restricted state models will ship with a state-compliant magazine.

Returns

Can I return my purchase for a refund?

POF-USA offers a 30-day return policy on all items purchased directly from the factory. (parts, gear, uppers).

How may I return a rifle, pistol, or lower receiver?

You will need to return serial numbered items to the dealer you purchased from. Refunds or exchanges of Serial Numbered items are at the discretion of the selling dealer.

Customers will pay a 15% restocking fee when returning product to POF-USA. We will pay return shipping charges for warranty repaired product to customer.

Rogue Suppressed

CAN I RUN MY ROGUE SUPPRESSED? 

The Rogue comes standard with a low-profile fixed gas block. It is highly recommended that an adjustable gas block, such as the .223/5.56 mid-length Dictator, is installed on the Rogue rifle. Suppressors naturally increase back pressure. This pressure increases the cyclical rate of your firearms bolt carrier. Use the Dictator Gas Block to regulate the bolt carrier speed for best performance and optimal parts life.

Select Fire Uppers

Can a civilian purchase/own a Select Fire Upper Receiver?

Yes. United States law recognizes lower receivers as the definitive part of a “firearm” (the part that loads magazines and houses the trigger). This is why Lower Receivers have serial numbers and Upper Receivers do not. This means that Upper Receivers, stripped or assembled, are not considered firearms or part of a firearm until attached to or stored with a compatible lower receiver. This makes it perfectly legal to purchase any Upper Receiver with a full auto bolt carrier group.

Do I need an FFL or an FFL Dealer to purchase a Select Fire Upper Receiver?

No. Since the Upper receiver is not considered a firearm by definition, they do not require transfer through a FFL holder. These items can be shipped directly to your preferred shipping address.

Select Fire Weapons

What is a Select Fire weapon?

A firearm is capable of burst and/or fully-automatic modes of fire (machine gun).

Can a civilian own a Select Fire weapon?

Yes, so long as the lower receiver was manufactured and registered before May of 1986.

Can a civilian purchase a Select Fire weapon?

Not from POF-USA. The Firearm Owners’ Protection Act (FOPA) prohibits individuals from purchasing Select Fire weapons manufactured after May 19th, 1986. Since POF-USA was founded in 2002, no POF-USA manufactured rifle or lower receiver falls into this category.

Short Barreled Rifles (SBR)

What is a Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR)?

An assembled rifle with a barrel shorter than 16″ is considered an SBR and regulated by the National Firearms Act.

Can a civilian own an SBR?

Yes. NFA rules apply.

Can a civilian purchase an SBR?

Yes. NFA rules apply.


Short Barreled Uppers

Can a civilian purchase/own an SBR Upper Receiver?

Yes. United States law recognizes lower receivers as the definitive part of a “firearm” (the part that loads magazines and houses the trigger). This is why Lower Receivers have serial numbers and Upper Receivers do not. This means that SBR Upper Receivers, stripped or assembled, are perfectly legal to own as long as they are not attached to or stored with a non-NFA registered lower receiver.

Do I need an FFL or an FFL Dealer to purchase an SBR Upper Receiver?

No. Since the Upper receiver is not considered a firearm by definition, they do not require transfer through a FFL holder.

Can I attach an SBR Upper to my rifle?

No. Assembled rifles with barrels shorter than 16″ are Short-Barreled Rifles (SBR) and regulated by the National Firearms Act. Only Law Enforcement/Military agencies and authorized FFL dealers may order or register a Lower Receiver as an SBR.

Can I attach an SBR Upper to my pistol?

Yes. Lower Receivers purchased as Pistols are registered as such by serial numbers and are not considered rifles. Compatible SBR Upper Receivers may be used with these weapons.

Suppressor Use

Putting a suppressor on your firearm will increase the cycling rate of your bolt carrier during extraction. This will cause unwanted malfunctions and increased wear on the system. POF-USA highly recommends using an adjustable gas system to properly tune in your rifles cyclical rate. Please be aware of all risks by attaching a suppressor.
