STATE BY STATE WARNINGS

Some states require by law that specified warning notices in “larger-than-normal” type be
conspicuously included by the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer with firearms sold in
that state. Since our products may be sold in those states we include the following:
California:

Maine:
“ENDANGERING THE WELFARE OF A CHILD IS A CRIME. IF YOU LEAVE A FIREARM

AND AMMUNITION WITHIN EASY ACCESS OF A CHILD, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO
FINE, IMPRISONMENT OR BOTH. KEEP FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION SEPARATE.
KEEP FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION LOCKED UP. USE TRIGGER LOCKS.”
Maryland:
“WARNING: Children can operate firearms which may cause death or serious injury.
It is a crime to store or leave a loaded firearm in any location where an individual
knew or should have known that an unsupervised minor would gain access to the

Massachusetts:
“WARNING FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL: This handgun is

not equipped with a device that fully blocks use by unauthorized users. More than
200,000 firearms like this are stolen from their owners every year in the United
States. In addition, there are more than a thousand suicides each year by younger
children and teenagers who get access to firearms. Hundreds more die from
accidental discharge. It is likely that many more children sustain serious wounds, or
inflict such wounds accidentally on others. In order to limit the chance of such
misuse, it is imperative that you keep this weapon locked in a secure place and take
steps necessary to limit the possibility of theft or accident. Failure to take
reasonable preventive steps may result in innocent lives being lost, and in some
circumstances may result in your liability for these deaths.”

FIREARM SAFETY RULES

1. Treat all firearms as if they are loaded. Always assume that a firearm is loaded even if
you think it is unloaded. Every time a firearm is handled, for any reason, check to see that it
is unloaded. If you are unable to check a firearm to see if it is unloaded, leave it alone and
seek help from someone more knowledgeable about firearms.
2. Keep the firearm pointed in the safest possible direction. Always be aware of where a
firearm is pointing. A "safe direction" is one where an accidental discharge of the firearm
will not cause injury or damage. Only point a firearm at an object you intend to shoot. Never
point a firearm toward yourself or another person.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Always keep your finger
off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot. Even though it may
be comfortable to rest your finger on the trigger, it also is unsafe. If you are moving around
with your finger on the trigger and stumble or fall, you could inadvertently pull the trigger.
Sudden loud noises or movements can result in an accidental discharge because there is a
natural tendency to tighten the muscles when startled. The trigger is for firing and the
handle is for handling.
4. Know your target, its surroundings and beyond. Check that the areas in front of and
behind your target are safe before shooting. Be aware that if the bullet misses or completely
passes through the target, it could strike a person or object. Identify the target and make
sure it is what you intend to shoot. If you are in doubt, DON'T SHOOT! Never fire at a target
that is only a movement, color, sound or unidentifiable shape. Be aware of all the people
around you before you shoot.
5. Know how to properly operate your firearm. It is important to become thoroughly

familiar with your firearm. You should know its mechanical characteristics including how to
properly load, unload and clear a malfunction from your firearm. Obviously, not all firearms
are mechanically the same. Never assume that what applies to one make or model is exactly
applicable to another. You should direct questions regarding the operation of your firearm
to your firearms dealer, or contact the manufacturer directly.
6. Store your firearm safely and securely to prevent unauthorized use. Firearms and
ammunition should be stored separately. When the firearm is not in your hands, you must
still think of safety. Use a safety device on the firearm, such as a trigger lock or cable lock, so
it cannot be fired. Store it unloaded in a locked container, such as a lock box or a firearm
safe. Store your firearm in a different location than the ammunition. For maximum safety,
you should use both a locking device and a storage container.
7. Never use Alcohol, Over-The-Counter, Prescription, or other drugs before or while

shooting. These substances are likely to impair normal mental or physical bodily functions
and must not be used before or while handling or shooting firearms.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
Please read "Breaking In Your New Weapon" and watch the video under "Cleaning Procedures"
both of which can be found on our technical page. Make sure you clean and lube your weapon using
the techniques shown in the video, especially the cleaning of the chamber (chamber brush attached
to a drill).
Breaking In Your New Weapon
1. Thoroughly clean the chamber of your new weapon, and clean after every shooting session.
Check out our links on the technical page for cleaning procedures and tips
http://pof-usa.com/support/ & https://youtu.be/AGQ-4avqHqA
2. Generously lube the bolt carrier group (BCG) with your favorite firearm lubricant. As your
weapon breaks in less lubrication will be needed and after a few hundred rounds just a light
wipe will be sufficient.
3. Put a little lubricant in the buffer tube.
4. Never use lubrication in your gas system. The gas system should always be run without
lubricant. You can clean the gas block the same as you would your barrel, just make sure
you wipe it dry afterwards.
5. There is no break-in required for the barrel, just clean it at the end of each shooting session.
6. POF-USA only recommends the use of factory new ammo, and cannot offer you advice or
tips regarding hand loading or re-loaded ammo.

GENERAL OPERATION
OPERATION OF SAFETY
The manual safety mechanism is located above the trigger on the left side (and right if
ambidextrous equipped) of the lower receiver. The safety can be moved to “SAFE” anytime the
hammer is cocked. When the safety is on, it blocks the trigger. The safety should always be kept in
“SAFE” mode when loading or unloading the firearm and should be kept in “SAFE” mode at all times
unless actually firing the firearm. Firearms are in the “SAFE” position when the lever is in a
horizontal position. (See Figures 1 & 2 below).
Figure 1 Figure 2
“SAFE” “FIRE”
Keep the safety on unless actually firing. Always move the safety fully to
its intended position and check it. The safety is not “ON” unless it is
completely “ON”. Never depend on a safety mechanism or any
mechanical device to justify careless handling or permitting the firearm
to point in an unsafe direction. The only “safe” firearm is one in which
the bolt is open, the chamber is empty, and there is no magazine in the
gun.
KNOW HOW TO USE THE SAFETY
8|Page
OPERATION OF BOLT CATCH
POF-USA firearms are designed so that the bolt will remain open after the last shot has been fired,
provided there is a magazine in the firearm. When the magazine is empty, the magazine follower
engages the bolt catch, which retains the bolt carrier group (BCG), in the rearward position.
*********************************************************************************************
*WARNING: The bolt catch is NOT a safety device. It should not be used to hold back the bolt
when there are cartridges in the magazine. A slight jar to the butt end of the firearm can
cause the bolt catch to disengage and to feed a cartridge into the chamber.
*********************************************************************************************
*The bolt catch should be used to hold the bolt in its rearward position only when the chamber is
empty and an empty magazine is in place. The bolt catch is there for convenience when changing
magazines.
To hold the carrier open:
1. Put safety on “SAFE”.

2. Pull the charging handle all the way to the rear.
3. Depress the bottom part of the bolt catch plunger and allow the bolt carrier to move
forward until it stops. (See Figure 3)
4. Newer P-308’s and P-415’s can also engage the bolt catch by pushing upward on the
“button” inside the trigger guard. (See Figure 4)
Figure 3 Figure 4
9|Page
To release the bolt carrier, allowing the bolt to move forward, KEEP SELECTOR ON SAFE and
either:
1. Remove the magazine; draw the charging handle to the rear and release. Allow the handle
to spring forward freely. Do not “ride” the charging handle or otherwise retard the forward
motion.
2. Push the top part of the bolt catch toward the lower receiver and the bolt carrier will
release. (See Figure 5)
3. On P-308’s and P-415’s, you also depress the bolt release lever on the right side of the
firearm. (See Figure 6)
Figure 5 Figure 6
CAUTION: Bolt carrier is under heavy spring tension and can injure fingers when it slams
shut.

AMMUNITION
POF-USA only recommends the use of factory new ammunition loaded in accordance with U.S.
industry practice, and cannot offer any advice or tips regarding hand loaded or reloaded
ammunition. Damages due to high pressure, reloaded, or non-standard ammunition is not covered
under warranty.
Death, serious injury and damage can result from the use of wrong ammunition; bore obstructions,
powder overloads, or incorrect cartridge components. Always wear eye protection and hearing
protection.

WARNING-LEAD EXPOSURE
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling
ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to the State
of California to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical
injury. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.

MAGAZINES
 5.56/.223 caliber firearms are normally supplied with one 30 round magazine.
 7.62x51/.308 caliber firearms are normally supplied with one 20 round magazines.
 7.62x39 caliber firearms are normally supplied with one 28 round magazine
Firearms supplied to states with magazine restrictions are shipped with the appropriate magazine
DAMAGED, NON-STANDARD, OR IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED MAGAZINES
SHOULD NOT BE USED – THEY CAN CAUSE THE FIREARM TO MALFUNCTION
based upon the state restriction.
LOADING
Use only clean, dry ammunition of the proper caliber manufactured to U.S.
Industry specifications, in good condition. With the short end of the
magazine facing forward, place a round between the lips of the magazine
with the bullet forward. Press the round down until it is held by the
magazine lips. Place the next round and repeat until the desired number
of cartridges are loaded.
INSERTING
The magazine may be inserted with the bolt carrier either

closed or open (see OPERATION OF BOLT CATCH Page 9).
More force will be required to insert the magazine with
the bolt in the closed position in order to overcome the
bolt carrier group.
1. Hold the magazine as shown and insert it into the

magazine well until it is seated/latched.
2. Check to assure it is securely latched in place by
pulling on the magazine, it should not come out.
REMOVING
To remove the magazine, push the magazine catch button towards the lower receiver from the right
side (See Figure 7) or the magazine release lever from the left side on ambidextrous models (See
Figure 8) until the magazine drops out of the magazine well. Avoid letting the magazine drop to
12 | P a g e
the ground, this will prevent the possibility of damage to the magazine and minimize the possibility
of magazine related malfunctions.
Figure 7 Figure 8
LOAD AND FIRE WITH MAGAZINE
Safe firearm handling should be practiced with an unloaded firearm until you can perform
each of the following steps with skill and confidence. Please read this manual completely
prior to operating your POF-USA firearm.
1. Be certain the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction.

2. Verify the gas plug is set for “NORMAL” (see ADJUSTING THE GAS BLOCK PRESSURE Page
22).
3. Before inserting a loaded magazine, engage the bolt catch so that the bolt carrier is held
open. Verify the chamber is empty. Move the safety selector to the “ON” or “SAFE” position.
4. Insert a loaded magazine into the magazine well and release the bolt catch by either
depressing the pad on the left side or the lever on the right side. A cartridge will be stripped
from the magazine and chambered by the motion of the bolt carrier moving forward.
WARNING: If cartridges do not feed smoothly from the magazine into the chamber then do not
use the firearm until the problem is corrected (See CLEAR A MALFUNCTION, Page 17)
5. The firearm is now cocked and a cartridge is chambered. Visually check to be certain the
safety is in the “ON” or the “SAFE” position, and the firearm is pointed in a safe direction.
6. When you are ready to fire, move the safety to the “FIRE” position.
13 | P a g e
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE ACTUALLY READY TO FIRE.
KEEP THE SAFETY “ON” UNLESS ACTUALLY FIRING
7. The firearm will fire one shot each time the trigger is pulled until the magazine is empty.
Some of the gas produced by the combustion of the powder in the cartridge is used to drive
the piston rearward; the piston drives the op-rod which in turn cycles the bolt carrier. This
process ejects the fired cartridge case, re-cocks the firearm and loads a new cartridge from
the magazine into the chamber.
8. Immediately following the firing of the shot and if no other shots are to be fired, put the
safety in the “SAFE” position while the firearm is still pointed in a safe direction. The safety
should always be moved to the “SAFE” position as soon as firing is completed, and it should
be on “SAFE” at all times except when the firearm is on target and being fired.
9. When the last cartridge in the magazine has been fired, the bolt catch will automatically
engage and hold the bolt carrier in the rearward open position.
IF DROPPED OR STRUCK WITH THE SAFETY “OFF”, THE FIREARM MAY FIRE.
KEEP THE CHAMBER EMPTY UNLESS ACTUALLY FIRING!
KEEP THE SAFETY ON THE “SAFE” POSITION UNLESS ACTUALLY FIRING!
ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED
LOAD AND FIRE WITHOUT MAGAZINE
Your firearm can be used as a single shot in the absence of a magazine or for training purposes. To
do so, follow steps 1 & 2 above then manually load a cartridge into the chamber. Then follow steps
4 & 5 (disregard magazine). Note that the bolt will not automatically lock back after the cartridge is
fired and ejected. Alternatively, the gas plug may be set to the “OFF” position as described in the
section “ADJUSTING THE GAS BLOCK PRESSURE”, however, the cartridge may be difficult to extract
manually without the assistance of the gas system. Engage the safety between shots.
14 | P a g e
UNLOAD
WARNING: This sequence must be followed exactly as spelled out. Failure to do so can result in the
rifle’s chamber becoming unintentionally loaded with a cartridge!
1. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times and keep the fingers outside the
trigger guard. Rotate the safety to the “SAFE” position.
2. Remove the magazine. REMEMBER that even though the magazine has been removed, a
cartridge remaining in the chamber can still be fired!
3. Pull the charging handle all the way to the rear,
extracting and ejecting the cartridge in the
chamber.
4. When the bolt carrier is fully retracted, lock the
bolt carrier back using the appropriate method
laid out on page 9.
5. Always visually double check the chamber to be
certain it is empty.
6. The only “safe” firearm is one in which the bolt
carrier is open and the chamber and magazine
are empty, and the muzzle is pointed in a safe
direction.
TO RELOAD THE FIREARM
1. Firing all cartridges in the magazine and the chamber will cause the bolt carrier to
automatically lock open. Keep the rifle pointed in a safe direction. Put the safety in the
“SAFE” position. Removal of the magazine can be accomplished by pressing inward on the
magazine catch button with the thumb or forefinger. The magazine will fall free of the rifle
of its own weight. To avoid the possibility of damage to the magazine, do not let it fall to the
ground.
2. Insert a loaded magazine. WARNING: The bolt catch is held in place by friction between the
bolt face and the rear surface of the bolt catch. Therefore, when there is a loaded magazine
in place and the rifle is jarred, the bolt can release and chamber a cartridge.
3. Release the bolt carrier by the methods described on page 10. A cartridge will be
chambered when the bolt carrier shuts. WARNING: The rifle is ready for instant use once
the bolt carrier moves forward. If the rifle is not to be fired immediately, keep the safety on
“SAFE”. When you are ready to fire, move the selector to the “FIRE” position and resume
firing, putting the safety back on “SAFE” when you cease firing, even for a moment.
EXTRACT AND EJECT A CHAMBERED CARTRIDGE
When the rifle is fired, the same gas pressure that drives the bullet forward bleeds through the gas
port to push the piston, op- rod, and bolt carrier to the rear. This action causes extraction and
ejection of the fired cartridge case. If a cartridge fails to fire or if the shooter wishes to eject the
chambered cartridge manually, follow the procedure described in “UNLOAD”. When the charging
handle is operated, there can be a failure to extract the cartridge from the chamber, or a failure to
15 | P a g e
eject the cartridge clear of the rifle. These failures usually are the result of the charging handle not
being pulled rearward vigorously. From the foregoing, it is clear that the user must:
1. Always visually check the chamber after opening the action to eject a chambered cartridge.
If the charging handle is not vigorously retracted, the extracted cartridge can be “ejected”
into the magazine area.
2. Thoroughly clean the chamber and the extractor as often as necessary. If an empty
magazine is in the rifle when the charging handle is being retracted to extract a cartridge,
the cartridge may drop on top of the magazine or remain held to the bolt face by the
extractor. Then, when the bolt carrier goes forward, the cartridge will be chambered again!
REMEMBER -- always remove the magazine before clearing the chamber, and visually check to
ensure that no cartridges remain in the firearm.
REMOVE A BORE OBSTRUCTION
Firearms which are chambered for small caliber high-velocity cartridges are particularly
susceptible to damage from firing when the bore is obstructed. Excess oil, grease, or water may
form an obstruction which could cause damage and injury. If you suspect that your rifle may have
excess oil, grease or other contaminants in the barrel. Or, if it may have been exposed to humid
conditions, which could cause condensation, or to rain or snow, which might have entered the bore,
open the bolt carrier and clean out the barrel. Inspect the bore visually to be sure that it is perfectly
clear.
A firearm user should recognize that a lodged bullet is a fairly common form of bore obstruction.
Therefore the following information on how a bullet may become lodged in the bore, and how it
should be removed, deserves most careful reading and understanding!
1. When firing, a bullet may become lodged in the bore if the cartridge contains no powder,
insufficient powder, or the powder fails to ignite and only the primer charge ignites,
producing insufficient force to propel the bullet out of the bore.
2. A bullet may also become lodged in the bore when extracting a cartridge from the chamber
(unloading). If the bullet is not crimped tightly enough in the cartridge case, the bullet may
stick in the bore, with only the case being extracted.
Experience indicates that the two conditions described above occur most frequently with
reloaded ammunition.
When either of the above described (1 or 2) situations occurs, proceed as follows with the firearm
pointing in a safe direction:
a. If the firearm is cocked, move the safety to the “SAFE” position.

b. Remove the magazine from the firearm.
c. Retract the charging handle and lock it in the open position. Retracting the charging handle
should remove the cartridge case. Be certain the safety is in the “SAFE” position.
d. Check the chamber to be certain there is no cartridge case in it – if there is, extract it before
proceeding with steps (e) and (f).
16 | P a g e
e. After making sure the chamber is clear and the magazine is removed, close the bolt,
disengage the take down pin, remove the bolt and carrier and inspect the bore visually and
with a rod as necessary.
f. If the bore is obstructed, insert a proper size cleaning rod (without a tip or brush) into the
bore from the muzzle and dislodge and remove the bullet. If the bullet does not readily
dislodge, it may be necessary to lightly tap the handle end of the cleaning rod. If such efforts
fail to dislodge the bullet, take the firearm to a gunsmith.
g. Inspect the bore to be certain it is free of unburned powder particles or any other debris. At
the same time clean the magazine, the magazine well, and other areas of the mechanism of
unburned powder grains.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE A LODGED BULLET USING A

BLANK CARTRIDGE OR A CARTRIDGE FROM WHICH THE BULLET HAS
BEEN REMOVED, OR BY ANY MEANS OTHER THAN THE USE OF THE
PROPER SIZE CLEANING ROD AND REASONABLE FORCE APPLIED TO THE ROD. BE
CERTAIN ALL LOOSE POWDER HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE BORE AND ACTION
BEFORE INTRODUCING THE ROD INTO THE BORE.
NEVER TRY TO SHOOT OUT A BORE OBSTRUCTION!
Always check the bore for an obstruction if you experience difficulty in

chambering a cartridge, experience a failure to extract, have a misfire, or the
firearm does not make a normal loud report on firing.
CLEAR A MALFUNCTION
If you experience a malfunction, study the situation to determine the nature of the malfunction and
how best to clear it. Any auto-loading firearm may occasionally malfunction. If it does:
1. Be certain the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and the safety is in the “SAFE” mode.
2. When attempting to free a jammed cartridge, do not use any type of tool that is likely to act
as a “firing pin” and discharge the cartridge should the tool impact on the primer. Never use
a cartridge as a “tool.”
3. After clearing a jam, inspect the firearm mechanism to determine if dirt or debris might be
the cause of the problem. Excess lubricant or grease can cause cartridges to feed sluggishly.
An accumulation of grease, dirt or powder grains in the magazine can contribute to
cartridge feeding problems.
4. After clearing a jam, inspect all cartridges that have been removed from the firearm. Safely
dispose of any cartridges which are dented or nicked or have bullets that are loose or
improperly positioned in the cartridge case.
17 | P a g e
5. If it appears that the gun and magazine are not at fault and that the jam was caused by the
type of cartridge being used, then try another type or brand of cartridge.
6. If the above procedures do not result in a smooth and reliable feeding firearm, do not use
the firearm until it feeds cartridges smoothly and reliably. The firearm should be returned
directly to POF-USA for repair. Contact TECHNICAL@POF-USA.COM for packing and
shipping information.
Another precaution: Form the habit of examining fired cartridge cases from time to time.
If fired cases have bulged heads or show splits on any part of the case, stop using that
ammunition. If the problem persists with different types of ammunition contact
TECHNICAL@POF-USA.COM.
7. If a cartridge or shell is caught between the bolt carrier and receiver, put the safety on
SAFE”, retract the bolt carrier using the charging handle, and lock it in the open position
using the bolt catch. Remove the magazine; then remove the jammed case.
8. If a fired cartridge case is in the chamber, use a cleaning rod to knock it out.
9. If an unfired cartridge is stuck in the chamber, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction
with the safety in the “SAFE” position. Close the bolt, disengage the take down pin, remove
the bolt and carrier, and remove the unfired cartridge from the chamber end rather than
trying to dislodge it with a cleaning rod inserted from the muzzle. Use a piece of 3/16” brass
rod which has one end shaped like a screwdriver tip. Insert the tip in the extractor groove of
the cartridge, use the face of the ejection port as a fulcrum and carefully pry out the
cartridge. Be careful not to strike the primer area of the live cartridge! Vigorously brush-
clean the chamber with solvent after clearing any jam involving the chamber.
MINIMIZE MALFUNCTIONS
Auto-loading firearms of all makes and types occasionally malfunction when a cartridge fails to feed
from the magazine to the chamber, or when a cartridge (or fired case) fails to properly extract and
eject. To minimize the possibility of such occurrences the gun user should:
1. Use ammunition of the correct caliber and type which is loaded to industry specifications.
Avoid reloads, remanufactured cartridges, and cartridges that are dirty, corroded, or
deformed.
2. Clean and lubricate the gun in accordance with the instructions in this manual and the
instructional videos on the POF-USA website.
3. If the mechanism shows signs of not functioning correctly, or if a part is damaged or broken,
do not use the firearm. Have it inspected and repaired.
4. Use only high-quality magazines and carefully load the magazine. Do not exceed the stated
magazine capacity.
5. Do not “ride” the charging handle when chambering a cartridge from the magazine. The bolt
carrier should be permitted to snap forward under the full force of the buffer spring. If a
cartridge does not fully chamber, use the forward assist no more than twice to force the bolt
carrier closed. If the cartridge is still not chambered completely, the round should be
cleared as a jam.
6. To minimize the probability of an unfired cartridge being jammed should it “fall back” onto
the magazine, remove the magazine before retracting the carrier. When extracting an
unfired cartridge, tip the right side of the rifle towards the ground so that gravity will assist
18 | P a g e
the cartridge to fall clear of the ejection port. Always retract the charging handle briskly
when extracting a live cartridge. Take care to see that a cartridge is not forcibly ejected
against a surface where the primer might be set off.
DISASSEMBLY
1. With the rifle pointing in a safe direction, safety in the “SAFE” position, remove the
magazine by pushing the magazine catch button inward to release the magazine, while
drawing magazine down.
2. Pull the charging handle all the way to the rear and push and hold the bottom tab of the bolt
catch and release the charging handle. Make sure safety is in the “SAFE” position.
NOTE: Hammer must be cocked to place the selector in the “SAFE” position. Again, be
sure chamber is empty!
3. On the left-hand side of the lower receiver push the rear take down pin to the right. From
the right side of the rifle, pull the pin outward until the detent stops any additional travel.
4. Tip the upper receiver forward on the front pivot

pin, remove the bolt carrier and charging handle from the
upper receiver.
5. If desired, remove the upper receiver from the lower receiver by

pushing the pivot pin on the left side of the lower receiver to the right.
Reach to the right hand side of the lower receiver and pull the pivot pin
to the right until the detent stops any additional travel.
6. Lift the upper receiver off of the lower receiver.
19 | P a g e
7. Piston Models
Push the gas plug pin from left to right until the detent stops any additional travel. Remove
the gas plug by rotating until the flat side is facing the top of the gas block.
Removal of the gas block assembly is not advisable. The gas block assembly is factory fitted
using special fixtures and tools. Attempting to fit the gas block assembly without the
required special equipment can result in damage to the components and malfunctioning of
the rifle. Removal/replacement or service of the gas block assembly must be performed by
the factory.
REASSEMBLY
Again Be Sure Firearm and Magazines are Completely Unloaded!
1. Reassemble the charging handle and bolt carrier into the upper receiver:
a. Turn the upper receiver upside down so that the top of the rifle is pointing toward
the ground.
b. Install the charging handle with the pickup lug pointing up.
c. Put the charging handle into the upper, line up the locator tabs with the
corresponding cut in the upper and drop the charging handle into the charging hand
slot.
d. Turn the bolt carrier upside down and, making sure the bolt is fully forward,
place the key of the bolt carrier in channel of the charging handle, then push both
the bolt carrier and the charging handle forward until the charging handle latch
engages the upper receiver.
Care should be taken not to turn the upper receiver so that the bolt carrier can slide out the back
of the upper receiver while the charging handle is unlocked. The bolt carrier will not fall out of the
upper receiver as long as the charging handle is locked on the upper receiver.
2. Assemble the upper receiver to the lower receiver:

a. Make sure the hammer is cocked, place the selector on “SAFE”, and make sure both
the take down pin and pivot pin are pushed completely to the right side of the lower
receiver.
20 | P a g e
b. Make sure the bolt carrier is all the way forward in the upper receiver.
c. Put the upper receiver onto the lower receiver and slide the upper receiver all the
way rearward against the threaded section for the butt stock.
d. Push the pivot pin into the receiver until the detent locks in the hole in the pivot pin.
Push the take down pin into the receiver until the detent locks in the hole in the take
down pin.
e.
3. Install the gas plug:
a. Drop the op-rod and piston into the piston bore in the front of the gas block.
b. Push the gas plug into the gas block until seated.
c. Rotate the gas plug so its rim engages the gas block hook.
d. Push the gas plug detent all the way in and set the gas plug position to the desired
setting (usually NORMAL).
BOLT CARRIER GROUP
Disassembly of the bolt carrier group:
1. Remove the firing pin retaining pin by pulling it through the left
side of the carrier.
2. Remove the firing pin out the back of the bolt and bolt carrier.
3. The roller cam pin can now be removed from the bolt carrier
group.
4. The bolt will slide out the front of the bolt carrier.
Reassemble the bolt carrier in reverse order of disassembly.
The bolt carrier group for the piston operated rifles is proprietary to POF-USA and is not
interchangeable with other firearms.
21 | P a g e
ADJUSTING THE GAS BLOCK PRESSURE - 5Position Gas Block
The POF-USA gas piston operating system has an adjustable gas block that controls the amount of
gas that is used to cycle the bolt carrier. The notched side of the gas plug denotes that it is in
“NORMAL” mode when it is facing up. The rifle should cycle normally with most commercial
ammunition. Depress the gas plug detent; rotate the gas plug 45° so the gas plug detent is facing is
facing at a 45° angle, this denotes that
the gas plug is in ADVERSE mode
using less gas to compensate for some
ammunition. Depressing the detent
and rotating to the 90° position
denotes that the gas plug is in “OFF”
mode. This shuts off the gas from the
gas block completely and causes the
NORMAL –
ADVERSE- rifle to function as a single shot rifle.

available with an increased gas flow
which may be required with some
suppressors. Depress the gas plug

MODULAR HAND GUARD P-415 &P-308
POF-USA’s latest generation hand guard allows the operator to customize their hand guard with the
desired rail section configuration. The modular hand guard comes with two picatinny rail sections
already attached that can be moved to any position along the top, bottom, and sides of the hand
guard. To install the rail sections, line up the rail section screw holes with the threaded holes on the
hand guard and tighten the #10-32 countersunk screws to 25in/lbs. Do not over tighten the screws.
Over tightening can cause damage to the rail. For continuous picatinny railed
sections along the hand guard, the rail sections can be overlapped together
using the corresponding male and female ends. Be sure that all screw holes
are utilized when being attached. Do not attach the rails to the hand guard
in a manner to where they will hang off the hand guard.
The latest generation of M-Rail handguards are M-LOC compatible and have eliminated the use of a
wedge block for installation. Instructions for removal and installation of older handguards can be
found on the technical page of our website http://pof-usa.com/support/
MAGPUL MOE HANDGUARD
Pull down on the delta ring, and pull directly out

on the bottom of the handguard. With the
bottom of the handguard pulled away from the
D-Ring, the front comes out without any effort.
You can look at the front end of the handguard,
and see where it interfaces with the handguard
cap. Once the first half of the handguard is off,
pull off the second one in the same manner.
Installation of the Magpul MOE Handguards is easiest by installing the top handguard first. Line up
the upper piece with the handguard cap, and push it all the way forward, then pull down on the D-
Ring and drop it into place. The bottom half of the MOE Handguard is pushed into the handguard
cap, and with the D-Ring pulled down, it is secured once both sections are in position.
23 | P a g e
The Renegade and Renegade Plus use a unique mounting and locking system for the handguard.
The narrow profile handguard is slipped over the barrel nut and locked horizontally into place
using two front sling mounts, one on the right side and one on the left side. Additionally, two screws
located at the bottom of the handguard are tightened and effectively clamp the handguard into
place
Once the handguard is slid into

position the cutout in the barrel
nut should be visible in the
window of the handguard as
shown here.
The square “block” on the sling mount will fit into the
window of the handguard and “lock” into the barrel nut.
Two screws are then tightened on the sling mount to 25
inch lbs. This process is accomplished on both the right
and left side of the weapon. The bottom two screws are
also tightened to 25 inch lbs.

GAS BLOCK TUNING INSTRUCTIONS
Tuning Instructions.
Note:
 This gas block will have a minimum of 9 positions, including the fully closed “off” positions.
Your gas block may have 1 or 2 additional open positions.
 By design, there are 3 different tools you might use to adjust your regulator. The first is the
custom wrench provided with the gas block. It is designed with a finger loop that will also
allow it to be attached to your key chain. It also is small enough for storage in many grips. The
custom wrench has a unique shape, because it has been optimized for use with POF-USA
handguards. However, it can be used if you have installed your DIctator™ with a handguard
that does not extend past the gas block. The second method is a 3/32” hex wrench. The third is
a flat head screwdriver.
1. Remove any magazines or ammunition feeding devices from the firearm and make sure the
rifle is clear and unloaded.
2. Turn the regulator in towards the gas block until it can no longer rotate. This is the “off”
position. In this position, the gas will be completely blocked from entering the gas tube. In this
setting, you will have to cycle the gun manually.
3. Turn the regulator in the opposite direction as step 2. You should hear and/or feel a “click”.
Each click is one position. Turn the regulator to the first click. You have slightly opened the gas
port.
4. Load one round in a magazine and insert it into your firearm. Following the rules of gun safety,
fire the weapon.
5. Observe whether the bolt carrier cycled back and was held open by the bolt catch. On the first
position, it is not likely.
6. Remove the magazine and clear the firearm.
7. Repeat steps 3-5 to open the gas flow incrementally until the bolt carrier cycles back and is
held open by the bolt catch.
8. Remove the magazine and clear the firearm.
9. Load a few rounds in the magazine and insert the magazine into your firearm.
Following the rules of gun safety, fire the weapon consecutively and observe the
ejection pattern of the brass. If the muzzle is 12 o’clock and the buttstock is 6 o’clock, you are
looking to achieve consistent ejection at 3 o’clock.
25 | P a g e
10. If the ejection is somewhere between 6 o’clock and 3 o’clock, repeat the clearing, firing,
observing, clearing, and adjusting cycle, until the ejection does reach 3 o’clock. Your rifle is set.
11. After shooting over time, you may notice your ejection becoming sluggish and moving back
towards 6’oclock. If this is the case, remove the magazine, clear the firearm, and turn the
regulator to open the gas flow.
Maintenance and cleaning
After extended use, it may become difficult to adjust the regulator. Below are the instructions for
disassembly and cleaning. Note: The included diagram may be referenced for part descriptions and
information.
1. Remove any magazines or ammunition feeding devices from the firearm and make sure the
rifle is clear and unloaded.
2. Using a drift pin punch, remove the Regulator Retaining Pin (Item 5) from the gas block.
3. Spray some carbon cleaner into the hole at the top at the top of the Gas Block (Item 1), and
allow it to soak in. Liberal application may be required.
4. Using the custom POF-USA wrench, a flat screwdriver or 3/32” hex wrench, work the
regulator (Item 4) back and forth to break up the carbon built up on the threads.
5. Using the custom POF-USA wrench, a flat screwdriver or 3/32” hex wrench, turn the regulator
until it is completely unthreaded. If it will not completely unthread, repeat steps 3-4 until it
will. Once you have passed the threads, the Regulator Detent Ball (Item 3), may engage them
when attempting to remove the regulator from the gas block. If this occurs, it is recommended
to continue “unthreading” the regulator until the threads have cleared the ball.
6. Remove the regulator from the gas block. Be aware of the location of the ball detent.
7. Remove the ball detent and store in a safe location.
8. The ball detent spring (item 2) will likely be held in place by force. For replacement purposes,
please know that the spring is an AR15/M16 extractor spring. You may choose to remove it or
not.
9. Spray carbon cleaner into the open bore. Scrub and flush out the built up carbon.
10. If you removed the ball detent spring, reinstall it. Push it all of the way down into the counter
bore.
11. Place the ball detent into the pocket in the bore. It should rest in place.
12. Taking care not to displace the ball detent, carefully install the regulator. If there is resistance
when the threads interact with the ball detent, “screw” the threads over the detent. When the
threads on the regulator come into contact with the threads on the gas block, you may want to
twist the regulator in the unthreading direction while lightly pressing it into the gas block. You
should be able to feel the thread starts align. Screw the regulator all the way in.
13. Reinstall the regulator retaining pin.
26 | P a g e
CARE AND CLEANING
After each shooting session, at regular intervals, or whenever your firearm has been exposed to
sand, dust, extreme humidity, condensation, immersion in water, or other adverse conditions;
disassemble, clean and lubricate using the techniques shown in the video that can be viewed either
on YouTube or by going to the link on POF-USA’s website:
http://pof-usa.com/support/ or http://pof-usa.com/category/videos/cleaning/
Basic Procedures are:

1. Disassemble the firearm as described on pages 19-20.
2. Clean the barrel bore with patches and solvent using a cleaning rod.
3. Remove powder residue from all components and wipe with a clean cloth.
4. Only use a light application of oil on the riding surfaces of the bolt carrier group. Excessive
oil will attract dust and dirt and may congeal in cold weather possibly interfering with the
safe operation and reliable function of the firearm.
NEVER LUBRICATE THE PISTON SYSTEM
