POF P-415
Posted Jun 16, 2023
Nothing beats a good old-fashioned POF P-415 to make sure your shooting is accurate and fun. With all the features and performance of a modern-day AR-15, the POF P-415 carbine is sure to please any shooter in terms of accuracy, range, and reliability.
The POF P-415 is constructed of the tightest quality parts and made of durable, lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum and polymer. Its barrel measures 16.5” with a 1×7 twist and is chambered in .223 Wylde. The upper part of the P-415 is forged from 7075-T6 aluminum and features M4-style feed ramps to enable reliable and efficient feeding. Bolt and carrier are POF’s own, made of precision machined tool steel and to mil-spec standards, and they are also shot peened more than once before being Parkerized for maximum wear and corrosion resistance, so you can rest assured that they are built to last. The POF P-415 also has Magpul® furniture and an adjustable stock.
In terms of accuracy, the POF-415 sets the standard. The barrel features POF-USA’s unique “concentric” rifling, which is cut after the bore is drilled, resulting in a more accurate and consistent bore. The barrel also features a proprietary nitride heat treatment that POF uses to stabilize, harden, and protect the barrel from corrosion and wear. This also ensures a longer life and greater accuracy over time than traditional chrome-lined barrels. The headspace is also checked three times during production and is guaranteed to 0.002” or less. The POF P-415 is also guaranteed to shoot 1/2” groups at 100 meters.
As for reliability, the POF P-415 reliability has been proven to be top-notch after extensive testing in the field. The bolt and carrier are shot peened and Parkerized to ensure better wear resistance and corrosion resistance. They also undergo minor repairs and modifications if needed, so they are sure to survive in the most extreme environments without any problems. The POF-USA gas block is the most adjustable of its kind and carrier tilt is eliminated with the proprietary design. The charging handle is also of the highest quality, made from heat-treated magnesium-aluminum alloy for strength and durability. The POF-USA proprietary enhanced buffer, with its heavy-duty steel construction, is sure to absorb the recoil and ensure smooth operation.
The POF P-415 is a top-of-the-line carbine with a premium-grade quality, so it follows that it comes with a premium price tag. At around $1700, this is not an AR-15 you buy on a whim. However, if you are serious about precision shooting and want the best carbine that money can buy, then the POF P-415 is the one for you. The quality of the materials, workmanship, and features are all top-tier and you can trust the POF P-415 to perform and last for many years to come.
