POF-USA P-308
Published: February 21st, 2008
The POF-USA P-308 is a interesting rifle. It is a gas piston operated rifle, based on the AR-10/AR-15 design and requires no lubrication.

They achieve this by plating the upper receiver with silicon nickel and chroming and heat treating the bolt and carrier.

Here is a video of it in action
In spite of its name, it is chambered in 7.62X51mm, not .308 (yes, there is a difference).

Here's my own POF*USA P308.
Has anything changed in the last two years? Does customer service still suck? I was interested in a POF USA 7.62, got the catalog and discovered that the trigger mechanism has rubber parts. Does this bother anyone besides me? What happens when this puppy reverts, turns soft, and the trigger mechanism falls out? Is there a metal alternative? I consider this a heritage gun but with that kind of stuff it won't even last my lifetime.
