Description

Rob Pincus gives an overview of the features and range performance of the new-for-2019 .308 Revolution DI Rifle from Patriot Ordnance Factory. The company is known for their piston-driven rifles, and the POF Revolution really did revolutionize the .308 AR market by having a gun that was essentially 5.56mm size except for the magazine well, bolt face, and barrel.

POF Enters the Traditional AR Market

Now POF has taken all the features of the POF Revolution piston-driven rifle and put them into the POF Revolution DI (Direct Impingement). Originally a piston company, POF was reluctant to get into the gas-operated traditional AR market. But their Renegade and Renegade Plus lines have gotten a lot of attention because of all their great features.

POF Revolution DI

The gas operation of the new Patriot Ordnance Factory .308 Revolution DI Rifle means the gun is lighter. It is an adjustable gas system, which will be important to people who want a high-quality rifle and know why those adjustments may be necessary for the consistent operation of the gun.

Everything else you’re used to seeing in a POF rifle is right here inside the Revolution DI. The other good new upgrade, which will be across the line with POF rifles, is a flat housing for the anti-walk pin. POF makes triggers too, so the POF Revolution DI features a great trigger. It has a Mission First Tactical stock and grip, and a great forend with a full rail across the top and a small rail section out front, which can be for a white light, laser light, or bipod.

Range Testing

At a rifle training range Rob Pincus takes a few shots at steel targets at about 40 yards with the POF Revolution DI. As usual with steel targets, the feedback is immediate and in this case almost totally positive (nine shots, eight hits).

Coming to a Range Near You

Rob is excited about having this rifle with him on the 2019 PDN Training Tour because it’s a lighter version of a rifle he already knows he likes.

This is the new gas operated, direct impingement 308 from POF. Patriot Ordnance Factory of course is known as a piston company, a piston driven company that makes great piston driven guns. And their Revolution really did revolutionize the 308 AR market by having a gun that was essentially five, five, six sized except for the magazine well, the bolt face and of course the barrel that's gonna be shooting 762 by 51. Well, now they've taken all of the features of that piston driven gun and put them into the Revolution DI. Now, originally as a piston company they were actually pretty reluctant to get into the gas operated, the traditional AR market. But their Renegade and Renegade Plus lines have really gotten a lot of attention because of all the great features that come with a gun from Patriot Ordnance Factory with the traditional operating system. Of course, gas operation means that the gun is also gonna be lighter. Now this is an adjustable system. So if you're concerned about different types of ammo, if you're concerned about wearing a suppressor on here or sometimes you're gonna have suppressor on, sometimes you're not, it is an adjustable gas system and that's gonna be important to a lot of people that want a high quality rifle and know why those adjustments may be necessary for the consistent operation of the gun. Everything else you're used to seeing in a POF rifle was gonna be right here inside of the Revolution DI. The other nice new upgrade that I like and this is gonna be across the line with POF as I understand it is that we've got a flat housing for the anti walk pin. So it's really important because this is one of the areas that I thought could use some improvement in the earlier guns, just because it got a little bit busy near the magazine release. Well now with this being flat, it's much easier for the finger to come down of its index point and hit that magazine release when you need it without getting hemmed up on that rolled area, that raised area that used to be on that anti walk pin. Of course, it's got a great trigger. You expect that from POF, you know they are a trigger company as well. They make drop-in triggers for any gun. It's got the mission first tactical stock and grip. And of course, it's got what you expect from them which is that great for end out here. We've got the full rail across the top. We've got a little rail section out front that can be for the white light. That could be for a laser light. It could be for a bi-pod if you want. And of course this is a three-way rifle. So, you know, you're gonna be able to reach out and do things at extended range. So it might be a good idea for you to go out and put a bi-pod on it for certain applications. Of course you can attach your sling to the minimalist stock from mission first tactical or to this plate right here on the back of the gun if you wanna have it closer to the receiver, that's kind of where I like it up here in front of the stock. This is a great gun. I haven't shot it very much. I've actually got one of the new Crimson Trace one to four adjustable optics on there. Let's go ahead and take a look and see what it does. One of the nice things about, of course the gun is that while it's very light, it does have a break direct from POF that's gonna help us shoot this gun really fast. It's gonna keep it flat. Got a target set up out probably about 40 yards or so. And, Really nice. Let's see what happens with that red stitch target's double swinger. See if we can pull that off this morning. All right. Well, three hits with four shots. The new Revolution DI from Patriot Ordnance Factory. Really excited about having this out on the 2019 tour. It's a lighter version of a gun that I know I already like.
