I'll be damned, I thought that they were piston operated guns. What is the advantage of the ZM rifle over a "traditional" DI gun? |

For whatever reason ZM claims its a cleaner running system. Im not sure how ? Other than that you can use a folding stock instead of the telescoping type.

Good guns...but not worth the money just for a side folder IMHO. |

Finally! Some pics of your new LWRC. It looks like a nice rifle setup, but damn it man, we need some full rifle pics with a clear side view from tip to stern!! A little outdoor shot wouldn't be bad either. Thanks for posting some photo's either way though SRTM4.  Enjoy your new piston AR.

I love both of my POFs. I dont have a bad thing to say about them. They are a tad nose heavy but are built very robust. I have not fired enough rounds through the LWRC to really compare it to the POFs. I also have an EOTECH on the LWRC. Its not going to be able to make the long range accuracy shots my POFs make. Its set up for closer work. The LWRC is lighter and feels more like a DI . The recoil is somewhere in between a DI AR and the POF. Not bad either way. I have no problem with the predator rails from POF. They are large but I like that. That being said I really like the LWRC's ARM-R rail. Im having my cake and eating it too right now!

Hardly. I know I'd just like to see some piston AR outdoor shots with some good scenery behind them. Yours or anyone elses.  I'm going to be looking to do some up myself when I can find a good spot to take some. It's hard in suburbia!!!  I know if someone came upon me a quick call and a swat team wouldn't be far behind. I'll make sure I bring a good amount of ammo with me.

   Last week we were able to break in the LWRC upper on POF lower last weekend. Depending on the weather I am hoping to do a head to head comparison of the LWRC, POF and the Bushmaster Piston tomorrow |

I haven't been there in years since visiting a friend who lived out there at the time and worked as security at the now gone Tropicana (I think it's gone from what he said anyways). If I do again I'll take you up on that. Same goes if your in Atlanta as I'm in the middle of relocating back there.

Thanks. The Tropicana is still there, they recently got bought out but there are planing some expansion. In fact they have a "bodys" exhibit. You know the artist (loose term) that takes bodies of dead chinese prisoners, plastisizes them and displays the pieces.

Maybe sometime this year we can get a piston AR shoot going in Georgia or somewhere relatively good for everyone. Sweet. (a few M14's and piston .223's thrown in like some XCR's, FS2000's and hopefully a Scar or Masada depending, probably wouldn't hurt either) I'm kind of glad to hear the Trop is still going. It was one of the last old time casino's it seemed. It is funny what people consider art some times.

POF with UBR stock...
 Closer view of the Magnificent 6    Now this Bushy is not a piston yet. But I am planning converting it shortly. Part of the upgrade is a new Trijicon TA11B or Ta01B scope. The Bushnell turned out to be a little overkill.  |

Fellas, I must say that I joined the ranks of the gas piston AR fan club!
POF 14.5" M4 Styled Upper Receiver I didn't really want to post any pictures, because my handguards are black (M4 style) and my Vltor Clubfoot stock and Tango Down grip are OD green. I'm going to buy a black M4 stock and black Hogue grip for it...just for the time being. Anyway, when I get the color match, I'll post some pics. |

Guys,
Surely someone has experimented with rail systems for the POF series P-415-14-BP-SF-223. There has to be one or more rail systems, (free-float or not) that will work. Any modifications to your handguards? |
