POF Minuteman 01645 | 5.56 NATO | 16.5in | 30+1

The Patriot Ordnance Factory Minuteman (model 01645) is a direct-impingement carbine engineered for a balance of mobility and function, fitted with a mid-length gas system and a Nitride heat-treated match-grade barrel. The rifle ships with a Tungsten Cerakote finish, a 14.5″ M-LOK Renegade rail, and a single 30-round Magpul PMAG. For a practical optic pairing under $1,000, consider a low-power variable such as the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 for fast target acquisition and mid-range precision. Common applications for this platform include range target work and varmint/light-field use.

The Minuteman incorporates features intended to improve reliability and shooter control, including POF’s Roller Cam Pin and anti-tilt buffer tube with carrier cradle extensions. It also uses E2 dual-extraction technology in the chamber and ships optic-ready for immediate mounting of a sighting system.
