Frequently Asked Questions

How did the POF Puritan AR-15 perform in a torture test?

The POF Puritan AR-15 in 7.62x39 demonstrated remarkable resilience during an expert-led torture test. It endured submersion in water, being dragged through mud behind an ATV, and a month of neglect without cleaning, functioning reliably throughout.

What are the advantages of a piston AR-15 like the POF Puritan?

Piston-operated AR-15s, such as the POF Puritan, are often considered more reliable in adverse conditions because the piston system pushes gas and debris away from the receiver, unlike direct impingement systems which route them directly into the action.

What caused malfunctions in the POF Puritan during the torture test?

Malfunctions in the POF Puritan were primarily caused by fine silt accumulating in the bolt carrier group and chamber after being submerged in a creek bed. This contamination slowed the bolt carrier's travel and affected trigger reset.

Can WD40 be used to fix a malfunctioning firearm?

In this torture test, spraying WD40 into the POF Puritan immediately restored its functionality after it was contaminated with silt, suggesting it can be an effective temporary solution for lubrication and clearing debris in emergencies.
