Design and Key Features

The LMR Base uses POF’s E2 match-grade barrel, tuned to reduce harmonic variance and support consistent groupings at distance. The signature roller cam pin bolt carrier group reduces friction in the bolt system, improving reliability and smoothing the action under rapid-fire or extended strings. An anti-tilt buffer tube further minimizes carrier tilt that can accelerate wear; together these components are designed to prolong parts life and improve long-term accuracy.

Shooter-Friendly Build

POF engineered the platform to be lightweight and approachable for new shooters while retaining the upgrade path typical of AR-10 platforms. The all-black finish creates a discreet, serviceable look and the included 10-round magazine keeps the package straightforward for compliance-minded buyers. For those planning optics, the flat-top receiver accepts a wide range of scopes and red-dot mounts.
