not specified, but i assume dpms pattern?

POF pattern - something about the DPMS and POF upper and lower mating that requires offset pins, I believe.  Jgun put this combo together, if I remember right, and later sold some of the parts to Matt Cross.

The way I understand it , it is a POF upper with all DPMS compatability and the top rails match up to all after market brands.

I decided to try it out and have already ordered a POF lower receiver and one of these uppers. Not exactly sure just what I'm going to build with the set, but I'll post some pics once they get here.

Actually, this upper is supposed to mate up to the POF lower in such a way that it will be unnecessary to use bushings as when you mate a DPMS upper to a POF lower. The upper will have .250" holes to match the .250" pivot and take down pins that POF uses. These are being made by the same people that (until recently) made POF's uppers and lowers. The seller tells me that the contour of the upper will match that of the POF lower to create a matched set. In addition, it will allow me to use whatever rail I choose and not have to use a POF rail as you would if you used a regular POF upper for a build.

Sounds like it is an upper that you have been waiting on. I have been thinking of getting on this upper group list but agine I have no Idea what I would build with it.

As is always the case when your one of the first to try somthing out , this is a bit of a gamble for me, but, as you said, this is just what I've been looking for, because I've always really liked the POF receivers but never liked the fact that if you buy a POF rifle (which I also really like) your limited  as to what parts you can swap out. With the way they designed their uppers so that the handguard slides over the rail of the upper, your pretty much limited to using their setup as is.  This upper will allow me to do a complete DI build using DPMS compatable parts while getting to use the POF lower receiver. As I said before I will post some pictures of the set as soon as I have it. Last time I spoke to him, Doug (the seller) told me that he had made 30 uppers in this initial run and that so far 20 of them are spoken for.
