Breaking In Your New Firearm:

.308 WIN, 6.5 Creedmoor, & 6MM Creedmoor Instructions -

  1. Thoroughly clean the chamber of your new firearm, and clean after every shooting session.
  2. Generously lube the Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) with cleaning and lubrication products specifically designed for use on firearms. As your firearm breaks in less lubrication will be needed and after a few hundred rounds just a light wipe will be sufficient.
  3. Put a little lubricant in the Buffer Tube.
  4. Never use lubrication in your Gas System. The Gas System should always be run without lubricant. You can clean the gas block the same as you would your barrel just make sure you wipe it dry afterwards.
  5. Avoid lead tipped ammo unless you are comfortable with polishing your feed ramps.
  6. There is no break-in required for the barrel, just clean it at the end of each shooting session.
  7. POF-USA only recommends the use of factory new ammo and cannot offer you advice or tips regarding handloading or re-loaded ammo.
  8. POF-USA only recommends the use of Magpul GEN 3 PMAGS and/or Lancer L7AWM Magazines in your .308 WIN, 6.5 Creedmoor, or 6MM Creedmoor caliber firearms.
  9. New firearms (less than 250 rounds) will perform better using FMJ ammo.

Basic Firearms Maintenance

After each shooting session or 250 rounds, whichever comes first, or whenever your firearm has been exposed to sand, dust, extreme humidity, condensation, immersion in water, or other adverse conditions; disassemble, clean, and lubricate your firearm.

  •  Use only cleaning and lubrication products specifically designed for use on firearms.
  • Do not use wire brushes on aluminum surfaces such as the upper/lower receivers, because this can scratch the finish.
  • Follow all manufactures instructions and cautions when using cleaning and lubrication products.
  • Wherever the term CLP (Cleaner-Lubricant-Protectant) or the words lube or lubrication are used in this manual, it is interpreted to mean that you can use any lubricant designed for use on firearms.
  • Wherever propellant gases directly contact operating system parts, carbon will build up.  Carbon cannot be removed with a brush and must be scrapped.
CLEANING FIREARMS, OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM, AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. MAINTAIN ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER EXPOSURE. SHOOTING OR CLEANING FIREARMS MAY EXPOSE YOU TO LEAD.
