POF-USA Factory 02045 Minuteman 5.56 NATO 13.75" 31-Round Rifle

The Patriot Ordnance Factory 02045 Minuteman 5.56x45mm NATO rifle represents purpose-built combat ergonomics designed for professional end-users and serious precision shooters. Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, this 30+1 capacity platform delivers the modularity and reliability demanded by law enforcement tactical teams and military-trained civilians who require a rifle that performs consistently under demanding conditions. The Minuteman's compact 13.75-inch threaded barrel strikes an optimal balance between velocity retention and maneuverability in close-quarters and vehicle-mounted environments.

Built on a black anodized aluminum receiver for weight efficiency without sacrificing durability, the rifle features a 13-inch Renegade Rail handguard that provides genuine 1913 Picatinny mounting real estate for optics, lights, and laser systems critical in low-light operations. The pinned Dead Air muzzle brake reduces muzzle rise and recoil impulse, improving shot-to-shot recovery and target reacquisition—essential for dynamic team tactics. Mid-length direct impingement gas operation with a low-profile gas block ensures reliability across a broad spectrum of ammunition types while maintaining the compact profile the platform demands. At 8.8 pounds, the Minuteman remains mobile without sacrificing the mechanical advantage necessary for precision fire out to 300 meters.

Law enforcement breaching teams, military support personnel, and precision rifle competitors benefit most from the Minuteman's integration of rail real estate and short-stroke reliability. The threaded barrel accepts standard 1/2x28 suppressor adapters and aftermarket muzzle devices, offering flexibility for evolving mission requirements. Installation of optics and accessories follows standard AR-platform mounting conventions, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard components and field-proven modularity. This rifle excels in confined spaces, vehicle operations, and close-range precision work where terminal ballistics and ergonomic control define operational success.
