I have never owned a LWRC so I cannot comment on those, however, I have owned POF, Knights, Colt, RRA, etc. and I would NEVER purchase a POF. wow that was really helpful. i own 2 POFs and they have been great. I have owned an lwrc and it was great. cant go wrong with either. |
| Had problems with POF....company customer service is unacceptably slow. Know several others who have had problems with their POF's. I am definitely not only loyal to one company. I have Colts, Knights, Noveskes, LaRue, FN SCAR, etc. I have shot just about everything out there and my favorite is definitely the Knights SR15E3.......incredibly sweet rifle. |

F-ing sick gun!!! I love mine. |

That's all I have ever run is Colts! I don't have time or the money to shoot every black gun that
has been brought to market ! With every little machine shop that has bought a CNC machine and is building all the cool guy stuff for the civilian market, I just want to know from some of you what you have been running and competing with.I like the piston system as well. Don't insult the intelligence guy! |
| LWRC is one of the better piston builders out there, if not the best. POF doesn't come close. Check out the LWRC forum |

I never handled a POF but I do own (2) LWRC M6A2's and they've been relaible thus far with no malfuntions to report. I also have close to a dozen DI AR's from KAC, Noveske, Armalite, and previously owned BM and a RRA. Out of all the AR's I own, I personally like the KAC best. With all the features intergrated and included in the package, it's a heck of a deal IMO.
<––-My avatar is my Black E3 with an Aimpoint M3 and magnifier with Larue flip mount..It's my go to rifle... |

I've had both. You cannot compare the two. The POF is a Dodge Ram, the LWRC is a Mercedes. lol in what way? In the way a Dodge Ram is a crudely built hunk of cheap metal and a Mercedes is a precision-built hunk of expensive metal. 
You own POFs and like them. Point noted. Don't let your feelings get hurt by others opinions. |

I have an M6a2. Been a great rifle. No issues except with some of that HotShot ss109 ammo. Of the 100 I bought 7 or 8 had the bullet push back into the case causing a misfeed. It eats every thing else I feed it. Easy to clean, not to say it does not get dirty just easier to clean. There is a good thread out there where some one shoots one suppressed and it get very dirty. There was also a good article in SWAT a few months ago about them. I would not hesitate to get another one but there are a few more DI rifles that I want first. A KAC E3 and a 6920. Or maybe one of those new KAC 308 carbines. Just like most of us here I have several brands in the safe as well. LMT, and Noveske among them.
As for the POF I looked at them for a while but for me I do not like their rail system. I have also heard that their customer service can be slow. Sir James... |

I have 2 POF uppers - both 11.5" M4 handguard style - one is the older silicon nickel internals, the new is finished interally with NP3. The older lower is on on of my M16s. Fucking thing runs like a top - mag dumps, beta mag dumps, bursts. The newer is on a POF SBR lower and survived a 3 day 1,500 round carbine course and regular rang practice. Fit and finish on both are very fine.
Agree that POF customer service sucks - especially during last year's buying craze. They seemed more humble at SHOT, maybe because of sales and many piston competitors. My dealer loves LWRC, but a basic POF upper is $1,100 and an LWRC is $2,000. When I want one for full-auto abuse, cheaper is better. |
