POF, LWRC, DD, COLT

OneInchPunch · #1 03-05-11, 19:23

i have the chance to buy either a POF (416), LWRC (m6a2), DD (m4 v5), or Colt (6940). i am having a hard time deciding, and i couldn't find the comparisons using the search button. i have selected these brands because thats what i can order through my distributors, and i would like to keep it simple and do it that way. i know some are piston and some are DI, but i am looking for a comparison between each brand, and user experience with each. 5.56 only, no 6.8 or .308. thanks in advance.

i really like the lwrc.....maybe thats a bad thing let me know

Most on here will steer you to the DD. Haven't fired one myself, but by all accounts they put out a damn fine weapon and it's probably what I'd suggest too given those choices.

I have a Colt 6940 with which I've been very happy, but it has some downsides (and to some dealbreakers) namely: carbine length gas system, 7" monolithic rail (which many regard as too short), and worst of all it is difficult to service yourself due to a proprietary barrel nut. That said, again, I've been very happy with mine.

I don't think you'll see much good said on this forum about the POF or LWRC...or pistons in general.

I dont know if your going to find alot of those rifles compared because as you said some are DI and some are Piston. I myself currently have a DD UGR V5 and its awesome!!!, I have shot the POF and I think it a nice rifle but extremely heavy for what it is. As for the LWRCi and Colt I can not say because I have never shot them, I have handled them before but never had the chance to get them out and test them. If you really want to keep it simple I would go the DI rout because of its simplicity and in that regard I would go DD all the way just my opinion but I can assure you that you will not be dissapointed with DD

Piston is over rated. Out of those four, my choices would be:

1. DD M4
2. Colt LE 6920 (not the 6940)

Of those choices I would buy the DD or the Colt 6940.

Apparantly I am the only person on the forum who likes the Colt 6940.

i am leaning that way but i have a di rifle right now, and i keep getting hung up on if i buy a rifle i want to have one that is different (maybe thats a bad thing?). i know the DD is awesome, ive shot one and thats why im buying another rifle but i keep looking at lwrc and pof...thanks for the input.

Nope, despite all the naysayers I still think mine is great. To each their own, I guess.

LOL, I run mine like a used up porn star during a gang bang! Hard and fast!

No worries with it on my end. I actually just sold another 6940 upper that I got as collateral on a loan. It was pretty much NIB. Now someone else can appreciate its reliability/durability.

Given the choices;

1- Colt
2- DD
3- LW

4- POF

just out of curiosity what is bad about the LWRC or the POF, and what brands should i look into if i want a gun that is similar to that. i like the 6940 and have shot one. it was bad ass, i also shot a DD V1 yesterday, and it was great as well.

Please search for LWRC and PoF. There have been plenty of these threads here. In the end it is still an AR vd. some type of piston deal. Which has also been beat to death.
