Just went through this thread and caught this. It depends on where you live. In NYS its illegal to own an assault rifle which says you cannot have 2 or more of the following:
1)bayonet
2)folding stock
3)extended clip
4)attached grenade launcher (lol)
5) certain barrel length I believe

I think there are more which I cant think of.

likewise here also..maybe coz im not really that familiar with guns..

great! thanks for posting it here..very helpful and make us more aware or maybe reminded of this things..and should be avoided as well..

I just got my upper today and I found something a little interesting. I found what looks to be some sort of white flaky stuff the sling swivel area. I don't know if it's some sort of corrosion that's building up or something else. Has anyone else seen something like this before on other AR's or another POF? Should I be worried?:eek:

My first upper:icon14:

It may just be an epoxy-like resin that is sometimes used by some manufacturers to reinforce the anchor point of the sling swivel. If the swivel mounting feels solidly anchored then I wouldn't worry about it.

Just call POF and ask them if you're unsure.

i did email the seller and pof and they said it was residue from being anodized and wasn't cleaned properly. I just took it off and washed it with some h2o and it came off. Me happy now.
Now i have to see how well it shots and how accurate it will be.

Anyone know how to sight an ar?

Are you putting optics on it? If yes, it should be self-explanatory. If no, good luck.

So true :)

Regardless of whether you mount optics or not, you need to sight in your iron sights as well (as backup for the optics if nothing else, esp for electronic sights, but even for regular ones - glass breaks). I highly recommend the IBSZ (Improved Battle-Sight Zero) method from here: AR-15 Zeroing , although there are a few different methods you can pick from.

It's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like it may be left over 'bluing' salts. I usually use a brush (nylon not a metal one) and cleaning solvent to get it off, then I usually go over the metal parts with Clenzoil. If it is, and you don't clean it off, it could corrode your parts. Most of the time when I get new parts, especially for the AR, I clean them really well before I put them on. But again, if you are unsure, take it to your local Firearms shop or give POF a call.

Like Semtex and others have said if your adding a scope or red dot of some type it should be self explanatory. However, for Iron sights your going to need a front Iron sight key (optics planet has a few). If it is a troy battle sight ur gonna need to modify the front sight key.

The best way to sight the sights in is to start at 50 or 100yd (Id recommend 100yd).
1) Flip your sights up make sure your rear windage sights are centered.
2) Make sure the sights are tightly fastened to the rail (they due tend to come loose over time)
3) Use a Bipod or bench rest and get centered on your target at 100yds.
4) squeeze off a round (note. if you have poor trigger control you will be all over the place and wont be able to get a consistent zero)
5) Ok you now know where your first Point of Impact is. if its low then adjust your front sight one to two clicks lower. If high then raise it the same.
6) Remember you want to basically walk your shots to the bulls eye so little changes will give you a consistent movement across the target and you wont get lost.
7) If the POI is right then you must adjust the rear windage sight to the left to pull your shot back into the target.

The rest is up to you. Be safe and have fun with the POF you will enjoy it! I am hitting less than 1.5 MOA out to 700yds with my POF 6.8 16"...

Trust me you will love the gun ;):happydance:

i dont think that you should:tiphat:

great! i am beginning to be convinced to buy one for protection..
