LWRC/POF range report

I wanted to do a quick follow up on the shooting experience with my friends LWRC M6A2.

1) Fit and finish of the rifle was superb, no visible machining marks inside and out. The internals appear very well made.

2.) Shooting- Recoil is a bit snappier than I am accustomed to. I would get a hydraulic buffer if I owned one of these rifles. We were shooting the provided Troy BUIS on an indoor range, so accuracy results will have to come later. My POF rifle is definitly softer in the recoil department. The rifle functioned well despite my friend feeding it cheap russian BAER ammo, and it ate the federal loads I gave him as well.

Overall really nice rifle. Be prepared to cough up 2.5k for one if you want it!

Update on my POF 16' model 415

**POF OWNERS READ THIS**

Be aware that alot of POF owners are having a allen nut in the back end of the piston tube work it's way loose and fall out. I recommend taking out the gas system components, taking off your predator rail and taking this nut out. From there, you should degrease it and reinstall with blue loctite. Easy fix, but it happened to me. I have put approx. 3K rounds through my upper so far.
