POF Minuteman 01752 | 5.56 NATO | 16.5 in | 30+1

The Patriot Ordnance Factory Minuteman (01752) is a purpose-built direct-impingement rifle chambered for .223 Rem/5.56x45mm NATO with a 16.50 inch match-grade barrel. It combines POF’s E2 dual-extraction chamber features and a mil-spec anti-tilt buffer tube design to prioritize reliable extraction and consistent carrier support. The rifle is finished in Patriot Brown Cerakote and ships optic-ready; a reliable red-dot such as the Vortex StrikeFire II (priced well under $1000) pairs effectively for close-to-mid range work.

Typical applications include competitive shooting and range/training use where a lightweight, mobile AR-platform rifle with match-grade barrel characteristics is desirable.

The Minuteman’s description from the manufacturer: “The Minuteman is POF’s twist on what a direct impingement fighting carbine should be, topped with the controls and enhancements most important to remain mobile and light. Its E2 dual-extraction technology consists of four small channels cut into the walls of the chamber allowing a small amount of gas pressure to push against the neck of the spent case. The mil-spec aluminum anti-tilt buffer tube features carrier cradle extensions to ensure that the carrier is always supported by the buffer tube even when the bolt carrier is fully forward.”
