POF P-15 Base 5.56 NATO 16.5" Rifle 10+1 Black A2 Grip

The Patriot Ordnance Factory P-15 Base delivers reliable semi-automatic performance in 5.56 NATO with proven direct impingement operation. This carbine-length rifle features a 16.5-inch barrel optimized for both accuracy and maneuverability in tactical applications.

What Makes This Different

POF's P-15 Base incorporates heat-treated 7075-T6 aluminum receivers with Type III hard coat anodizing for superior corrosion resistance compared to standard Mil-Spec finishes. The rifle utilizes a traditional A2-style pistol grip and fixed front sight base, providing familiar controls for shooters transitioning from military platforms. Quality control standards exceed commercial AR-15 specifications with individual testing of critical components.

Key Features

• 16.5-inch chrome-moly vanadium steel barrel with 1:7 twist rate
• Forged 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower receivers

• A2-style flash hider and front sight base

Field performance centers on the rifle's ability to maintain accuracy through extended firing sessions while cycling various ammunition weights from 55 to 77 grains. The carbine-length gas system provides reliable extraction with both brass and steel-cased ammunition. Weather-resistant finishes and properly staked components ensure function in adverse conditions from desert heat to winter operations.
