The Patriot Ordnance Factory Minuteman delivers precision engineering in a compact 300 Blackout platform designed for versatility across multiple shooting applications. This rifle combines POF's proprietary manufacturing processes with proven components to create a reliable firearm that excels in both subsonic and supersonic ammunition configurations. The 13.75-inch barrel length provides an optimal balance between velocity retention and maneuverability.
What Makes This Different
POF's black nitride barrel treatment offers superior corrosion resistance and reduced friction compared to standard chrome-lined barrels. The proprietary gas system design reduces bolt carrier group wear while maintaining consistent cycling across various ammunition weights. The aluminum receiver features enhanced rigidity through strategic material placement, resulting in improved accuracy potential over standard forged receivers.
Key Features
- 13.75-inch black nitride treated barrel for enhanced durability and accuracy
- 300 Blackout chambering optimized for both subsonic and supersonic loads
- 30-round magazine capacity with reliable feeding geometry
- Full-length Picatinny rail system for optics and accessory mounting
- Black aluminum receiver with precision machined tolerances
- Direct impingement gas system tuned for 300 Blackout ballistics
- Mil-spec trigger group and safety components
The rifle demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F, making it suitable for diverse environmental conditions. Accuracy testing with quality ammunition typically produces groups under 2 MOA at 100 yards. The 300 Blackout cartridge provides effective terminal performance for hunting medium game within 200 yards while offering reduced noise signature with subsonic loads when used with appropriate sound suppression.
