    It's a POF. Now that the internet has righted this wrong, let's get back to the point of this thread.

    Except that is not a select fire weapon.

    OK, I'll bite....

    Why do you say that is not a select fire weapon?

    Lack of the auto sear hole/pin was what I first pinged.

    Lack of an auto sear pin above the selector. No matter how a receiver is marked, if that hole and pin are not present (should be in the vicinity of the E in PEW), it is not a select-fire receiver. You could use a Lightning Link to achieve a "full-auto" capability, of course, but that is really another matter entirely.

    ETA: Jack just beat me to the punch. Again.

    Don't take this the wrong way. If you had to question why the Bushmaster lower wasn't "full auto" then maybe you should spend some time getting some more hands on weapons training.

    I will gladly shoot full auto a lot more, if you supply the ammo?

    It really doesn't matter what kind of rifle it is.

    But If I paid for a course to learn things, and someone told me a POF was an HK, I'd be concerned that a., he didn't know, or b., he did, but he said it anyway. It would undermine his credibility as a subject matter expert, and bring other things he said into question.

    But no, it doesn't matter what kind of rifle it was, and I'm sure it was fun to shoot.

    Speaking only for myself here, I find the lower to be far more interesting than the upper in this particular missive, regardless of what happened to be bolted-up to it.

    I don't care who made it or what it looks like. I just want one that goes, "pew, pew, pew."
