Need help finding a product for my AR Uppers!

[The Legion]

Does anyone know were I can purchase this support for AR uppers.  I have tried to locate this but have not been able to.  If anyone can help I would appreciate it.  Thanks

Not sure what it does but POF is Patriot Ordnance Factory. I’d start with their website

Looks like a shipping plug

I have tried POFs website but they do not show one for sale.  This may be a product that they use for their uppers when they ship them out.

I believe I have found some that are similar.  Here is a link.

I also found some that look just like the POF on Joe Bob Outfitters.

What do it do? Keep your bolt from falling out? I find a lower receiver does the same thing.

I used our 3D printer to print one.  I will see if it fits one of my AR's.  If it does I will be happy to ship it to you @The Legion if you can use it.

So how much of a spool does something like that take?

[KahrMan]

I didn't pay attention to how much of the spool it used.  It took about three hours to do the print.

I have been eyeing a small printer for a long time. Just keep putting it off because it would just be a cost vector. I see myself going through a lot of spools.lol

You would have to print out a crap ton of these doodads to make it worthwhile.

You do not buy a 3D printer to save money.  They are not practical for that.  They are great for prototyping, experimenting and just playing and having fun with.

I heard one of the car companies bought all their engineers one a few years ago. They could prototype and wind test pretty much on demand versus the old clay models. Stuff like that costs, but speeds up model design.  

My wife's work had one, but that is because they make plastic and were testing different products they make as media. The guy that ran it just printed Thingverse stuff for 6 months. Lol

It fits. It is very snug but it does fit. A little sandpaper on the inside edges of it will probably help.
