Weighing in at just under 9 pounds unloaded, the P308 Gen 4 manages its heft well, providing a stable shooting platform that soaks up recoil. The 20-inch barrel length is the sweet spot for the .308 cartridge, optimizing velocity for longer-range engagements without becoming unwieldy. At a price point of $2185.96, this rifle sits in a competitive space for a purpose-built, American-made .308 AR platform. It’s compatible with many standard DPMS-pattern .308 parts and accessories, so upgrading the handguard or trigger is straightforward—no gunsmithing required for most common swaps.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is a duty-grade rifle for the serious shooter. It’s for the hunter who needs one ethical shot at distance but appreciates a rapid follow-up capability. It’s for the tactical competitor running heavy caliber courses. It’s for the prepared citizen who understands that a .308 rifle provides a definitive level of terminal performance for defense of life and property at extended ranges where intermediate cartridges fall short. When it comes to a rifle that must bridge the gap between a precision tool and a fighting weapon, the P308 Gen 4 is engineered for that role.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The E2 extraction system is a legitimate game-solver for a caliber known for extraction issues. The fluted barrel is a practical touch that shaves ounces and dissipates heat. Using the proven Magpul CTR stock means immediate familiarity and rock-solid lockup. The entire system is built to run dirty and hot—that’s the POF promise.
Cons: Look, it’s a .308 AR-platform rifle, so it’s never going to be as light or as cheap to feed as an AR-15. The initial investment is significant, and ammo costs add up fast. The 20-inch barrel, while ballistically superior, is less ideal for tight-quarters maneuvering compared to a 16-inch model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this rifle compatible with other .308 AR magazines, like Magpul PMAG LR/SR Gen 3?
A: Yes. The POF P308 Gen 4 uses the common DPMS/SR-25 pattern magazine well. It ships with a 20-round Magpul PMAG, and will reliably accept other quality magazines built to that specification, including the PMAG LR/SR Gen 3 and various metal magazines.
Q: What is the real-world advantage of the E2 Dual Extraction system?
A: In simple terms, it prevents stovepipes and failures to eject under adverse conditions. When you’re running hot loads, steel-case ammo, or if the chamber is fouled, the dual ejectors and robust extractor work in tandem to positively control and remove the spent case every time. It’s an engineered solution to a known weak point in large-frame ARs.
Q: Can I mount a standard AR-15 buffer tube and stock on this rifle?
A: No. The P308 uses a larger, .308-specific buffer tube, spring, and buffer due to the increased bolt carrier mass and recoil impulse. The included Magpul CTR stock is specifically designed for this larger tube diameter, offering a secure fit and proper function.
