POF-USA 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-USA firearm must 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.
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 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 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 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.
The Firing Pin contacts the cartridge primer anytime a round is loaded and anytime the firearm 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.
A Cam Pin is a crucial component that operates every time the firearm 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.
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.
