interior of the chamber POF-USA P-415 EDGE Ultimately I've put my money on 10.5" POF-USA P-415 Cerakoted in Burnt Bronze color which is so- mething between Coyote Brown and metallic Gold. The 10.5" barrel seems to be an optimal choice for "tactical" G.O.A.T. rifle for tactical shooting classes or challenges with full kit. Since I am going to use it also with a suppressor, the length was a great balance between por- tability and comfort. Short barrel allowed me to save on weight too – stroke-driven rifles are usually heavier and front heavy too. P-415 looks like a premium AR.

The up- per receiver is proprietary, it lacks the top Picatinny rail because it is designed to work with the POF handguard extended toward the rear. Additionally, there are three handguard attachment points on the upper – definitely not a MIL- -SPEC. The POF-USA Strike Eagle charging handle is ambidextrous. The lower receiver is definitely more stanarar but definitely far more ergonomic than plain Jane AR. P-415 is fully ambidextrous and all switches or levers are on both sides of the rifle. There is an ambidextrous safety switch and less common ambidextrous ma- gazine release button, bolt release lever (on the right side of the rifle it is button-shaped).

It is a single-stage trig- ger with short travel. It comes with KNS Precision stainless-steel anti- -walk pins. Trigger guard is a part of lower receiver but it has slightly oversi- zed and beveled shape for handling with thick cold weather gloves. The buffer tube is "same but dif- FIREARMS
