Thank you. We offer uppers and complete weapon systems in this configuration. We also offer a Pelican case if you purchase the complete weapon system. |
|
|
The entire operating/weapon system is Chrome lined. |

You gonna throw in that VersaPod? Nice rifle, I played with one at SHOT.
Frank is a chrome fiend...... Simon |
|
Yes awesome package!!!
Frank , check your emails. Im trying to get my Recon 16'' upper ordered. I liked my POF M4 so much , I decided to get one of these. To anyone who doesnt know, The POF piston op AR is extremely reliable. I have more than 3000 rounds through my rifle without any ( thats zero) malfunctions. You get a lot of rifle for the price! |
|
Also, Frank can you get us some more pics of this recon 16'' rifle?? I think that you are going to sell alot of these!

We do offer the Raptor Bi-pod and Pelican case with our rifle systems. Thank you Simon, It was nice meeting you at Shot. You are correct, we do like chrome. Best regards, Frank |

Do you all know when you'll be getting more MP5 parts kits in?
|
|
Interesting... So it DOES have a chrome chamber/bore? Hmm! |

Chrome lined/plated: Barrel / barrel extension Gas block / Tube Gas Plug Gas Piston Bolt Carrier assemble |

What is a "5R Polygonal Barrel"? Is that how the barrel is rifled? I was looking at the Noveske site and their barrels have polygonal rifling and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what that is.
|
|
That's really nice, i'm also a sucker for hard chrome plating.
Question though: there is often grumblings of hydrogen embrittlement with hard chrome plating on certain alloys. What would you say to those who question it, and if an issue how does POF-USA address it in your product? thanks |
|
Sweet!
POF-USA- Will you please come out with a light weight profiled barrel version of that? That is what I have really been waiting for. |
|
Been waiting for this. What accuracy are you getting and what lower and mags to you recomend? Might be the ticket for an urban sniper rifle if it can cosistantly keep MOA with Match ammo. What are your test showing? My 223 POF is still chugging and keeps me safe at work. Thanks.

Just ordered my Recon POF 16'' upper. This will be my second POF piston upper. The first one was that good. POF has a proven product and Im making the best of it.
Very good guys to deal with over there. |
|
I've asked this in a lot of POF threads and never get an answer. |
|
|
They say 8-10 weeks but POF told me that it could be sooner. Being I already own a 14.5 POF piston upper with perm flash hider, I will say that it is slightly heavier than a direct gas AR. I never weighed it but I would say that it would be within ounces. The piston reliability far outweighs the little bit of extra weight. |
|
|
I'd still like to see them numbers, some people think the 416 is a minuscule weight increase (7.7lbs ). |
||
|
Thats about the weight class I would put the POF in. It is slightly heavier but extremely robust. I would not second guess the strength and reliability of POF. I cannot get my rifle to jam. It is definately piece of mind! |

Yeppers....and belt fed.... |

The complete 16" "Recon" gas piston upper without front & rear flip up sights weighs: 5 lbs. 4 oz. The same 16" "Recon" gas piston upper with Troy Ind. flip up front & rear sights weighs: 5 lbs 7 oz. |

Myabe its because the information is on their website. I dont know just a guess........... |

|
Thank you! |

|
Well, I don't believe it was last time I checked but I don't go there everyday. |

|
Looks good Frank! Are you or one of the guys going to be shooting one at the South Mountain match this weekend?
|
|
Yes. See you there. |

Use plating companies that are ISO 9002 certified and a tier one vendor of companies like: Boeing. They follow a process that is documented, that has the required manufacturing steps to complete the process they are doing correctly. The proper heat treat of the metal your plating after chrome plating eliminates the hydrogen embrittlement issues. We have been using the same plating vendors for over 25 years in the aerospace industry. Best regards, Patriot Ordnance Factory |
|
|
That is good to know.
Can you tell us more about the Silicon nickle plating that you use in your upper recievers? I am getting this option on my Recon and would like to hear a little more on the advantages of it. |
|
Perhaps my question got buried in all the other replies. Can you make a version of this with a light weight profile barrel (or any of your other uppers for that matter)? Is there a technical consideration that prevents you from making one? Trust me, there is market for one. |
||
|
Trust you? You?! Who the hell are you? |
|||
|
Our current barrel configuration is a heavy profile and fluted, but is lite weight. Our barrel design helps to eliminate heat. Our 16" barrel weighs 2 oz. more then a 14.5" M4 pencil barrel that is .625ø under the hand guard. Hope this answer your question. Best regards, Patriot Ordnance Factory |

|
Get us some pics of this jewel! Please!
Oh and trust me. The little bit of added weight is well worth it. You are getting a lot of rifle there. |

If your reply is intended to be funny, please indicate so with an smiley. |

Thanks, that is light enough for my tastes. |
