Compact .308 platforms for personal defense demand a careful balance of controllability, reliability, and ergonomics. For operators and home defenders who want AR-style handling with larger caliber energy, a purpose-built compact solution closes the gap between firepower and practicality.

PATRIOT ORDNANCE FACTORY REVOLUTION delivers a true small-frame .308 option in a pistol package with AR-15 size handling.

Design and key features

PATRIOT ORDNANCE FACTORY REVOLUTION is built around an innovative approach: using a 5.56 bolt carrier and multiple 5.56 parts to shrink receiver dimensions and cut weight while delivering .308 performance. That engineering choice creates an overall receiver footprint identical to an AR-15, which improves ergonomics and accessory compatibility.

Core specifications to note

Key highlights from the factory spec sheet include a 12.5″ nitride heat-treated fluted barrel, an SB Tactical SBA3 arm brace, the Edge Handguard with four built-in QD mounts, and an M-LOK Revolution rail. The rifle-weight is a manageable 6.9 lbs, and the package ships with one 20-round magazine. The finish is black with a high-quality nitride treatment on the barrel for durability.

Mechanical features aimed at reliability and tunability: a fully ambidextrous billet receiver set, a high-phosphate, nickel-coated bolt carrier group, and a 5-position adjustable gas piston operating system. Trigger duties are handled by a single-stage match-grade trigger with a 4.5 lb. drop-in configuration for consistent pull and follow-through.

Performance and intended applications

In short-barrel .308 platforms, expect potent terminal performance at close to medium ranges and increased muzzle blast compared with longer-barrel rifles. The 12.5″ barrel on PATRIOT ORDNANCE FACTORY REVOLUTION is optimized for maneuverability in confined spaces—vehicle, home, and rapid-response environments—while the adjustable gas piston helps tune extraction and felt recoil for various loads. The smaller receiver size and familiar AR-15 ergonomics make handling more intuitive for shooters transitioning from 5.56 systems.

At a listed price of $2800.99, PATRIOT ORDNANCE FACTORY REVOLUTION targets buyers who want a factory-built, compact .308 solution without extensive customization. Check current availability to confirm shipping and retailer purchase options: Check availability.
