Key Features

- Modular M-LOK Rail: The 11.5-inch handguard provides ample real estate for lights, lasers, and grips, letting you configure it for low-light readiness.
- Sb-A3 Stabilizing Brace: The 5-position collapsible brace offers adjustability for a secure fit against the arm, enhancing control during rapid strings of fire.
- Durable Burnt Bronze Cerakote: Provides a distinctive, corrosion-resistant finish that stands up to hard use and the elements.

The price of $2908.91 reflects the premium materials and engineering POF is known for, including their Revolution series’ minimized receiver footprint.

Who This Is For
This is for the shooter who needs authoritative power in a confined space. Think of it as a duty-grade tool for rural home defense where engagement distances can stretch beyond a typical shotgun’s range. It’s also ideal for a prepared citizen who values the terminal performance of .308 but requires a package that can be deployed quickly from a vehicle or stored discreetly. The piston system appeals to those who prioritize reliability with minimal maintenance—when it comes to home defense, you need a system that runs, period.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The piston operation drastically reduces fouling in the receiver and bolt carrier group, a significant advantage in a short-barreled .308. The fluted barrel sheds weight and improves cooling. The modular rail offers modern mounting solutions. You get rifle-caliber stopping power in a package nearly a foot shorter than a typical carbine.
Cons: The compact size amplifies muzzle blast and report—high-quality hearing protection is non-negotiable. .308 ammunition is more expensive to train with than 5.56mm. The premium features command a premium investment. That said, the performance per cubic inch is hard to match.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this firearm considered a pistol or a short-barreled rifle (SBR)?
A: As configured with the Sb-A3 stabilizing brace, this is classified as a pistol under current federal regulations. It can be purchased and transferred as a pistol through your local FFL without requiring a tax stamp. Always verify the latest ATF rulings, as classifications can change.
Q: What type of ammunition does it use, and is the magazine proprietary?
A: It chambers .308 Winchester and 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition. The included 20-round magazine is a POF-specific design, but the firearm is compatible with many common .308/AR-10 pattern magazines from brands like Magpul (PMAG® LR/SR GEN M3) and Lancer.
Q: How does the piston system benefit me over a standard AR-10?
A: The short-stroke piston keeps hot gas and carbon fouling out of the upper receiver and bolt carrier. This means the action runs cooler, stays cleaner longer, and requires less frequent cleaning. Reliability often increases, especially with sustained fire or when using a suppressor, as carbon doesn’t gum up the trigger group or bolt lugs.
