What Makes This Different

Patriot Ordnance Factory's direct impingement system incorporates heat-treated steel components and a chrome-lined barrel for extended service life. The rifle features POF's proprietary gas system tuning that reduces felt recoil by approximately 15% compared to standard AR-15 platforms. California compliance is achieved through a fixed magazine system that meets all state requirements without compromising functionality.
