Pof VS lwrc

Thanks for the advice by the way. I'm hoping one of these remedies works. I'm out in Hawaii and as this is my only rifle right now, would rather not have to send it in.
 
I like my LWRC's. I have a REPR I really like, and just received a Spartan II. I have not shot it though.
My main issue with the POF was the handrails. Never good get comfortable, but it seemed to be a good gun. My repr is a 3/4 To 1 MOA rifle. That is fine for my intended use of the rifle.
 
Took my REPR to the range today and it performed flawlessly. Mounted a NF F1 and I am very satisfied. It's loud as hell and I am very surprised with the low recoil. Don't get me wrong, she kicks a little, but the recoil must get dispersed efficiently because my shoulder didn't take a beating at all. I could have easily shot all day. I almost bought a POF before the REPR. I think what it boils down to is personal preference..they both are great rifle systems.
 
I'll try the bore brush. The rifle has less than 200 rounds thru it. What should I look for regarding the extractor spring? I did look at it before and found a bunch of brass shavings. Also I noticed that the newer rifles are using a different buffer weight and spring. Is that something I should look into. I have emailed POF and they said to make sure I'm cleaning the rifle correctly etc. I am. Also I was using the factory mag and having these issues.[/QUOTE

The first step with the extractor you have done, make sure that there is nothing binding it or keeping it pushed outward. Also make sure that the spring is not too loose, this will cause the extractor to ride back over the case rim instead of grabbing it and pulling it out. The new buffer and spring was to address the issue of the bolt hitting the buffer tube where it screws in. Sometimes with the old tube and spring it would dip down causing ware in that area and a weak spring can cause bolt bounce as well. If you see any ware marks on the front of you buffer tube this is not normal.

Also don't over lube these guns, some do not function well with lube. Just a (VERY) light coating is needed and not very often. I hope this helps it would suck to have to send it in for repair when you are that far away, but if you do I'm sure they will square you away asap.
 
Cleaned the rifle, lubed it and wiped it down. Took it out and put five rounds thru it before it stovepiped. Tried another five and another stovepipe. Flipped the gas plug over to the suppressed "S" setting and it cycled 10 rounds without fail..... Then I ran out of bullets. Could this be because the rifle was "overgassed"? Anyhow, again mahalo for all the feedback. Obviously I'm new at all this and I appreciate being able to ask questions
 
The stovepipe could be from the mag you are using or from the extractor, start there first. If not one of those, it could be from the buffer/spring causing bolt bounce. I would try a different mag first if you have access to another one. And yes it is possible that it may be over gassed. Some have had success switching to a hydraulic buffer it slows the bolt down and can help to reduce recoil.
