The Patriot Ordnance Factory LMR Base delivers precision and reliability in a California-compliant configuration. Built around POF's proven gas piston system, this .308 Winchester rifle eliminates the fouling issues common with direct impingement systems while maintaining consistent accuracy shot after shot.
What Makes This Different
The LMR Base features POF's proprietary short-stroke gas piston operating system that runs significantly cooler and cleaner than traditional AR-platform rifles. The 416 stainless steel barrel provides superior corrosion resistance and maintains accuracy longer than standard chrome-moly barrels. Combined with the precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminum receiver set, this rifle delivers consistent sub-MOA performance with quality ammunition.
Key Features
- Short-stroke gas piston system eliminates carbon fouling in the action
- 16.5-inch 416 stainless steel barrel with 1:10 twist rate for .308 Winchester
- 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower receivers with Type III hard coat anodizing
- California-compliant configuration with fixed magazine and featureless design
- A2-style pistol grip provides consistent hand positioning
- 10+1 round capacity meets California regulations
- Mil-spec trigger group with standard AR-15 compatibility
Field testing demonstrates the gas piston system's advantage in extended shooting sessions, maintaining function even when carbon buildup would compromise direct impingement rifles. The stainless steel barrel construction resists throat erosion from high-pressure .308 cartridges, extending barrel life significantly. Competition shooters report consistent accuracy throughout rapid-fire strings, while hunters appreciate the system's reliability in adverse weather conditions.
