Knock about $675 off that price and it looks pretty good.

It's actually a product of these folks.

DSA is a fine company, and you could order through a dealer that might give you a better price than full retail. My DSA AR listed for over $1100, and cost me less than $900.

As long as you have pain killers around to abrogate the problem of getting RAPED on the price. :cool:

Overpriced and unproven.

They will remain "unproven" because the military isn't using them. They have been out for a while however, and I've yet to see a "My POF upper is a broken down piece of crap" thread. Considering how much people whine on the internet, that's a good sign. One thing for sure, all reviewers/owners seem happy about the lack of heat and grime in the POF uppers.

If you stay with the standard hardguard model from POF direct, they aren't that expensive considering all the chromed internals. If you buy the model with the Predator rail, it's a little more pricey. Why DSA has it marked up so much, I don't know.

Yeah, but do you know ANYONE who owns one? I don't know anyone who does, not even on the gunboards...

Nope, don't even know anyone with a Colt AR! I'm one of two people that actually owns and uses target stands at my local shooting spot. Everyone else shoots ten rounds at a hot water heater and goes home;a

Anyway, a search of "POF" over at AR15.com will provide you with some owner reviews and plenty of the usual squabling!

This months SWAT mag has another write up (kiss up?).
