Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the POF Tombstone 9mm rifle?

The POF Tombstone is a 9mm magazine-fed lever-action rifle featuring a Magpul SGA stock, an extended hammer, and a 16.5-inch barrel. It includes a full M-LOK rail for accessories and a Picatinny rail for optics, with a 20-round proprietary magazine.

What issues were encountered during the first shots with the POF Tombstone?

During initial range testing, the POF Tombstone exhibited significant cycling issues. The lever action felt stiff, and the bolt frequently hung up on the magazine, requiring excessive force to close and operate smoothly.

What caused the cycling problems with the POF Tombstone?

The primary cause of the cycling difficulties appears to be high spring pressure in the 20-round magazines. Reducing the magazine load to 10 rounds improved reliability, suggesting the magazine spring tension was binding the action.

How does the POF Tombstone compare to traditional lever-action rifles?

While the POF Tombstone offers modern tactical features, its lever action is considerably less smooth and more difficult to operate than traditional lever-action rifles from brands like Henry or Winchester. The action felt clunky and stiff.
