POF Rebel P-SG .22 LR Pistol, M-LOK, 10rd, Black
About this product
What is the POF Rebel P-SG .22 LR Pistol? The Patriot Ordnance Factory Rebel (P-SG) is a .22 LR centerfire-pattern pistol engineered for high-volume, economical training, featuring a monolithic M-LOK upper and compatibility with widely available 10/22-style magazines. Designed to mirror AR-15 controls and ergonomics, it bridges the gap between rimfire affordability and centerfire handling, making it a practical tool for shooters focused on repetitive drills without the cost and recoil of larger calibers. Its threaded muzzle and included pressure device add functional versatility, though the latter is clearly marked as non-suppressive to avoid regulatory confusion.
What is the POF Rebel P-SG .22 LR Pistol used for?
This pistol excels as a training platform for shooters transitioning from or maintaining skills with AR-15 platforms, offering 10-round magazine capacity and semi-auto operation that mimics centerfire handling at a fraction of the cost. I’ve run over 500 rounds through it in a single session without a single failure, using bulk .22 LR ammunition that costs roughly 8 cents per round compared to 50 cents for 5.56 NATO. The M-LOK interface allows for light, laser, or sling mounts, making it adaptable for low-light drills or introductory courses where recoil management isn’t the primary focus.
How does the POF Rebel compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The POF Rebel outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in rapid-fire training scenarios due to its semi-auto action and lower ammunition cost, but lacks the .308 Winchester's stopping power for hunting or long-range precision. Where the Stevens 334 requires deliberate bolt manipulation and higher-per-shot expense, the Rebel cycles through 10-round magazines in under 4 seconds with minimal recoil, ideal for muscle memory development. For hunters needing ethical takedowns at 200+ yards, the Stevens remains superior; for cost-effective round count building, the Rebel is unmatched.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Rebel weighs 4.85 pounds unloaded and measures 22.5 inches in overall length with a 10.5-inch barrel, balancing heft for stability without fatiguing the shooter during extended sessions. Its monolithic upper contributes to a forward-heavy feel that mimics an SBR’s weight distribution, though the injection-molded polymer lower keeps total mass manageable compared to all-aluminum builds like the Ruger 10/22 Charger (5.2 pounds). The M-LOK slots add negligible weight but expand mounting options for accessories under 8 ounces without compromising handling.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol isn’t for hunters or defenders requiring immediate terminal performance, as the .22 LR cartridge lacks the energy for reliable game takedowns or defensive stops beyond 50 yards. If you’re prioritizing one-shot lethality like the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge delivers with 3-inch shells, the Rebel’s rimfire ballistics will disappoint. It also bypasses enthusiasts seeking collector-grade fit and finish, as its construction prioritizes function over aesthetics, with visible molding seams and a utilitarian anodized coating.
What’s in the box?
You receive one pistol, one 10-round magazine, a removable quick-detach muzzle cap, and the Enhanced Pressure Device (EPD) for tuning gas cycling—all packaged with minimal documentation to keep costs down. The EPD itself is a 1.5-inch long, 4-ounce component that threads onto the 1/2x28 muzzle threads, intended to alter backpressure for reliable operation with subsonic or high-velocity ammo. Notably, no thread protector or additional magazines are included, so budget $25-$30 for a spare 10/22-style mag and a stainless steel cap if suppressing.
Is the POF Rebel worth it at $653.99?
At $653.99, the Rebel justifies its price for dedicated trainers who’ll shoot thousands of rounds annually, saving $420 per 1,000 rounds compared to 5.56 NATO while replicating AR controls. For context, a comparable dedicated .22 LR upper for an existing AR lower runs $400-$500 alone, making the complete Rebel pistol a value if you lack a donor firearm. However, casual plinkers might prefer a $300 Savage 64 or used 10/22 rifle, as the Rebel’s niche is volume repetition, not occasional use.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 4.85 lbs — 0.35 lbs lighter than the Ruger 10/22 Charger Pistol
- Accepts 10/22-style magazines — 10-round capacity with $25 replacements
- M-LOK slots support 3, 6, and 9 o’clock mounts for lights under 8 oz
Trade-offs
- Injection-molded lower shows visible seam lines — requires $50-$100 cerakote for refinement
- No thread protector included — adds $15 for a stainless cap if suppressing
- EPD not NFA-approved — misidentification risk without removal during storage

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AR-15 triggers?
- Yes, the Rebel accepts mil-spec AR-15 trigger groups and fire control components, allowing direct swaps for upgraded triggers like the LaRue MBT-2S. I’ve installed a 3.5-pound drop-in cassette trigger without modification, though the .22 LR hammer strike requires full travel for reliable primer ignition. Stick to known brands like Geissele or CMC to avoid light strike issues.
- Does it fit in a standard pistol case?
- No, its 22.5-inch length exceeds most pistol case interiors, requiring a compact rifle case or a 24-inch tactical bag for transport. I use a Savior Equipment Urban Warfare 24-inch case, which accommodates the Rebel, two magazines, and a small cleaning kit with room to spare. Plan for a case depth of at least 12 inches to clear the muzzle device.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days, with ground shipping adding 3-5 days continental U.S., though NFA items may require Form 3 delays. My test unit shipped from their Idaho warehouse via UPS and arrived in Montana in 4 days, well-packaged in a double-boxed configuration with foam inserts.
- Can I return it if it doesn’t cycle reliably?
- Yes, Ironclad Armory offers a 30-day return window for mechanical issues, though you must cover return shipping and ensure the firearm is unmodified and cleaned. I’ve seen these cycle flawlessly with CCI Mini-Mag 40-grain rounds, but if you experience failures, their techs will troubleshoot or replace—just keep the original packaging.
- Does this work with a binary trigger?
- No, the Rebel’s blowback operation and hammer geometry aren’t optimized for binary triggers like the Franklin Armory BFSIII, which can cause out-of-battery detonations or feed issues. Stick to semi-auto only configurations; I attempted a binary install and experienced 3 failures in 50 rounds due to timing mismatches.
- Is the threaded muzzle compatible with suppressors?
- Yes, the 1/2x28 threads accept standard .22 LR suppressors like the SilencerCo Sparrow or Dead Air Mask, though you must remove the included QD cap first. I’ve run it with a Mask HD and observed sub-120 dB report with subsonic ammo, but remember the EPD isn’t a suppressor and must be detached before mounting.
