The POF P-15 Base delivers reliable semi-automatic performance in 5.56 NATO with proven direct impingement operation and mil-spec construction. This carbine-length platform combines Patriot Ordnance Factory's quality manufacturing with essential features for tactical applications and sport shooting.
What Makes This Different
The P-15 Base utilizes a forged 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower receiver set with Type III hard coat anodizing for enhanced corrosion resistance. The 16.5-inch barrel features a 1:7 twist rate optimized for heavier grain projectiles, while the carbine-length gas system provides consistent cycling across various ammunition types. POF's attention to manufacturing tolerances ensures reliable function with both military surplus and premium ammunition.
Key Features
- 16.5-inch chrome-lined barrel with 1:7 twist rate for superior accuracy
