Aren't all of these "small frame" 308 ARs based off of the DPMS G2?
What makes POF think they own the intellectual property?

I checked on Ruger patent infringements and found none. Ruger has sued a few that it claimed did this but nothing
on the other way round. I'm just curious if Ruger is in the wrong or if this is just I don't like Ruger thread.
Information is king, hearsay is internet dribble! Look at a Keltec P3AT. Look at a Ruger LCP. You can shuck, you can jive. Twist and turn. You sure as hell can't deny what you see. I find it embarrassing to see a big company rip off someone like Keltec.

Ruger has always been good at "borrowing" designs. Maybe this time as well, & just a little bit too similar & too soon?

What makes POF think they own the intellectual property? The POF used an AR-15 length upper/lower and moved the Fire control group back to make cleance for the bigger mag well at the rear. The G2 extends the upper/lower about 5/8" to make clearance on the front and uses a bigger bolt diameter for a stronger bolt. G2 carrier is the same diameter as the AR-15 but longer by about 5/8"

John,
You use the G2 pattern?

John,
You use the G2 pattern? David, Yes. We don't do the feed ramp insert because of bullet deformation. The silicone rubber extrator springs worked well but so do well set up springs. Rem/DPMS had 3 patents for the G2 with the feed ramps inserts being foremost. Really hope PSA nails this because the G2 is the best of the small frame big mag ARs.
