Design Philosophy and Notable Engineering

The Minuteman represents Patriot Ordnance Factory’s (Pof) interpretation of a direct impingement fighting carbine: lightweight, mobile, and optimized for the end user. Unlike generic AR-pattern rifles, this model emphasizes extraction support and carrier stability. The E2 dual-extraction technology is a standout—four small channels cut into the chamber route a measured amount of gas to push against the neck of the spent case, aiding positive extraction under adverse conditions.

Buffer System and Carrier Support

POF pairs the extraction system with a mil-spec aluminum anti-tilt buffer tube that includes carrier cradle extensions. This detail ensures the bolt carrier is fully supported by the buffer tube even when the carrier is forward, reducing stress on receivers and smoothing cycling. For operators who run extended drills or high-round counts in training, that mechanical support translates to long-term durability.

Applications and Platform Flexibility

Marketed in the Semi Auto category and offered in various model configurations, the Minuteman is suitable for duty use, tactical training, and home defense. While specific calibers are not listed on the product sheet, the “Various” model designation signals multiple configurations are available—useful for teams or individuals who prefer different chamberings while maintaining the same operating system.

At a price of $1569.99, the Minuteman positions itself as a premium, performance-focused option within the Semi Auto segment. For detailed availability and purchasing, View product details and pricing on the shop page.
