The POF Minuteman 300 Blackout delivers versatile performance for both subsonic and supersonic ammunition applications. This semi-automatic rifle features a compact 13.75-inch barrel configuration that maintains ballistic effectiveness while providing enhanced maneuverability in confined spaces.
What Makes This Different
Patriot Ordnance Factory's proprietary gas system design reduces felt recoil by approximately 30% compared to standard direct impingement systems. The black nitride barrel treatment provides superior corrosion resistance and extends barrel life beyond 10,000 rounds. Unlike traditional mil-spec receivers, the Patriot Brown Cerakote finish offers enhanced durability with a 2,400-hour salt spray resistance rating.
