Patriot Ordnance Factory Minuteman Pof 01646 Minuteman Di 16 14m Rail 350

The Patriot Ordnance Factory Minuteman DI 5.56 NATO rifle with 14" M-LOK rail is a lightweight, purpose-built modern sporting rifle designed for shooters who demand precision and reliability in a compact package. Built on a direct impingement action with POF's proven engineering, the Minuteman delivers the accuracy and ergonomics serious riflemen expect, whether you're headed to the range, into the field, or training for defensive readiness. At just under 6 pounds empty, this carbine handles like a rifle that knows its job.

The core of the Minuteman is its match-grade, nitride-treated barrel paired with a slab-side upper receiver and MIL-SPEC lower—the foundation of a reliable 5.56 platform. The 14.5-inch M-LOK Renegade handguard is free-floating for consistent accuracy and includes five integrated QD sling mounts, giving you genuine modularity without the guesswork. The included POF-USA drop-in flat trigger breaks at 3.5 pounds and uses KNS anti-walk pins to stay put, while the ambidextrous safety selector and QD endplate respect both lefties and righties equally.

Out of the box, you get a complete fighting rifle: a MIL-SPEC carrier with roller cam pin, Strike Eagle charging handle, 6-position anti-tilt buffer tube, a 10-round magazine, and a three-prong flash hider. Field stripping follows standard receiver and carrier group procedures—no proprietary nonsense. The black anodized finish is business-like and durable. This is a rifle built for hunters, competition shooters, and tactically-minded civilians who won't compromise on quality or settle for clone-tool marketing.
