Has anyone have any experiences with a POF 16'' gas piston upper? Its going to be my first gas piton upper and i found a great deal on POF. I tried to find some stuff online and there some mixed reviews.

How do they shoot and how reliable are they compared to other companies' gas piston systems?

How is the customer service etc.

Remarkably accurate and functions perfect--no idea as to CS as they work so darned well you probably won't ever need it.

Search the semi-auto sub-forum as a TON of guys on this site have POFs.

Great stuff! Just check with POF about how old it is. They've changed some things. I have an older P415. The Great Guys at POF had me send my upper to them and they replaced my "older" piston parts with the newer version and tested it for free! I had it back in about a week from the time I shipped it to the time it was back at my door! Great Customer Service!!!

I ordered a 415 - 16" upper from them about a month ago. Waiting as patiently as I can to get it.

I'm excited, want to get it and run it through it's paces.

It's my first piston Auto, I read up on the choices and it's where I wanted to put my money.

Best thing to do is try and forget you ordered it, just like a form 4, that way when it comes in its sorta like a suprise. I waited a longggggggg time for mine, but it was during the '08-'09 rush.

That is the quote I received as well. If I'm shooting in two weeks I'll let you know.
