Patriot Ordnance Factory Minuteman 5.56 NATO Semi-Auto Rifle

Patriot Ordnance Factory’s Minuteman represents their vision of a direct impingement fighting carbine built around controls and enhancements designed for mobility and lightweight handling. The rifle features E2 dual-extraction technology, which employs four small channels cut into the chamber walls to direct a small amount of gas pressure against the neck of the spent case. The mil-spec aluminum anti-tilt buffer tube incorporates carrier cradle extensions that maintain support of the carrier against the buffer tube even when the bolt carrier moves fully forward.
