POF Minuteman DI 5.56 NATO 16.5" CA Compliant Rifle 10+1

The POF Minuteman Direct Impingement rifle delivers California-compliant performance without sacrificing reliability or accuracy. This 5.56x45mm NATO chambered rifle combines Patriot Ordnance Factory's precision manufacturing with features specifically engineered for restricted markets.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard AR-15 platforms, the Minuteman features POF's heat-treated tungsten steel receiver set that provides superior durability over aluminum alternatives. The 16.5-inch nitride-treated barrel offers enhanced corrosion resistance and extended service life compared to standard chrome-lined barrels. California compliance is achieved through integrated features rather than aftermarket modifications, ensuring reliable function and legal operation.

Key Features

• Heat-treated tungsten steel upper and lower receiver set for maximum strength
• 16.5-inch black nitride barrel with 1:7 twist rate for heavy bullet stabilization
• 14.5-inch M-LOK compatible handguard with full-length top rail
• Mission First Tactical 6-position collapsible stock and pistol grip
• Direct impingement gas system with carbine-length gas tube
• 10-round magazine capacity compliant with California regulations
• Standard AR-15 trigger group and bolt carrier group compatibility

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition at 100 yards. The nitride barrel treatment maintains precision through extended firing sessions while resisting fouling buildup. Law enforcement agencies report reliable cycling with both 55-grain and 77-grain projectiles across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F.
