Key Features
- 12.5-inch barrel with adjustable Dictator gas block — Nine-position gas adjustment lets you tune the rifle for suppressed or unsuppressed use, reducing felt recoil and keeping the action cycling reliably with any ammunition load.
- Renegade M-Lok handguard — Free-floated aluminum forend provides 360-degree accessory mounting and excellent heat dissipation, so you can run a suppressor or grip without burning your support hand.
- MFT Engage V2 grip — Textured, ergonomic pistol grip with a steep angle that promotes a natural wrist position, reducing fatigue during extended range sessions.
- 20+1 round capacity — High-capacity magazine (one included) gives you more firepower between reloads, especially useful for competition or defensive use.
- Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish — Corrosion-resistant coating that holds up to sweat, rain, and rough handling, while giving the rifle a distinctive, low-glare look.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the shooter who wants a lightweight .308 that fits in tight spaces — think truck gun, hunting blind, or patrol carbine. New gun owners will appreciate the simple direct-impingement operation, while experienced shooters will like the adjustable gas block for tuning. If you’ve been lugging around a heavy 16-inch .308 and want something that carries easier, this is your rifle.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Lightest 12.5-inch .308 on the market — 6.5 lbs makes it a joy to carry all day.
- Pro: Adjustable gas block works with or without a suppressor, no extra parts needed.
- Pro: Burnt Bronze finish stands out from the sea of black rifles and resists wear.
- Con: The 12.5-inch barrel loses about 150-200 fps compared to a 16-inch .308, so long-range precision shooters may want a longer barrel.

FAQ
Does the POF Revolution DI 1600 come with a muzzle device?
Yes, the rifle ships with a POF linear compensator that helps reduce felt recoil and directs blast forward — good for shooting from a barricade or near others.
Can I use .308 and 7.62 NATO ammunition in this rifle?
Yes, the chamber is cut for .308 Win and also accepts 7.62 NATO. The adjustable gas block lets you tune for different pressure levels, so you can run surplus, hunting loads, or match ammo.
Is the Burnt Bronze finish durable?
According to POF specs, the Cerakote finish is applied at 2-3 mils thickness and tested to withstand 1,000+ hours of salt spray corrosion resistance. It’s tougher than standard anodizing and won’t chip easily.
What magazines are compatible?
The rifle ships with one 20-round Magpul PMAG (LR/SR pattern), and accepts all standard .308 AR magazines from Magpul, Lancer, and DPMS.
How does the 12.5-inch barrel affect accuracy?
You’ll get reliable 1.5-2 MOA accuracy with quality factory ammunition — plenty for hunting or defensive use out to 400 yards. The shorter barrel does reduce velocity, so expect a 150-grain load to exit around 2,500 fps instead of 2,700 fps from a 16-inch barrel.
