The Patriot Ordnance Factory P-415 delivers enhanced accuracy and reduced recoil through its innovative piston-driven operating system. This 5.56 NATO rifle eliminates the gas fouling issues common in direct impingement systems while maintaining the familiar AR-15 platform ergonomics.
What Makes This Different
The P-415's short-stroke gas piston system operates significantly cooler and cleaner than traditional direct impingement rifles. POF's proprietary piston design reduces bolt carrier group temperatures by up to 40% compared to standard AR-15s. The 13.75-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity for 5.56 NATO ammunition while maintaining maneuverability in confined spaces.
Key Features
- Short-stroke gas piston system eliminates gas fouling in the bolt carrier group
- 13.75-inch chrome-lined barrel with 1:7 twist rate for heavy bullet stabilization
- Mil-Spec upper and lower receivers with Type III hard coat anodizing
- Standard AR-15 magazine compatibility accepts all STANAG pattern magazines
- Picatinny rail system accommodates optics and accessories
- Enhanced trigger guard design allows operation with gloved hands
- Ambidextrous safety selector for left and right-handed shooters
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition at 100 yards. The piston system maintains reliability through extended firing sessions without the bolt face cleaning required by gas impingement rifles. Law enforcement agencies report improved performance in adverse weather conditions due to the sealed operating system that prevents moisture and debris infiltration.
