POF having problems

[newgun]

I bought a POF lower with a DPMS parts kit. I was told that it all fits and works. This is not true. after you buy the lower you have to buy another kit from POF, then the roll pins in the DPMS parts kit are to small, now I have to find some one who make the right ones, any help would be appriciated. The triger in the DPMS parts kit does not fit right either, when trying to insert the release into the triger, it does not have any movement to it, no need for a spring right? I am assuming something was not made right, anyways what a mess, I am about to rename POF to something else. Anybody else had these problems and if so what was the fix?

Do you have the .223/5.56 version, or the .308 lower? I've helped a few people build the small frame POF lowers with zero issues. We used RRA and CMMG parts kits. I'm guessing Stag would have worked as well, used those on other lowers. Depending on where you live, there might be someone near that can help. You might have a lower that's out of tolerance, but I'd try some other parts first.

all the best,
Mike

damn thats bull****. you might have the wrong type of parts kit like mentioned. make sure to ***** out pof about it though they charge big bucks everything should work right.

If it is a .223 lower what gen is it?

I just put together my first lower last month with a gen I POF and a DPMS kit and I had zero issues.

I remember reading the reviews on midway about some of the DPMS kits that were going out shouldn't have passed the QC checks. That was back when the Obama rush was in full effect though.

It appears I was sold a DPMS 308 parts kit. Wromg one! I called chris at POF he said I have to use the AR parts kit, ok well I ordered the Bushmaster kit, that is what POF uses so I will try again, When this is over I will know exactly what stuff fits and what doesnt. Thanks for the imput
