Direct impingement 5.56 NATO carbine with 16.5" barrel, California-compliant 10-round magazine, E2 dual-extraction technology, and 14.5" M-Lok handguard for tactical versatility.
The Minuteman represents Patriot Ordnance Factory's interpretation of what a modern direct impingement fighting carbine should be. This rifle prioritizes the controls and enhancements that matter most for shooters who demand mobility and lightweight handling without sacrificing reliability.
E2 Dual-Extraction Technology The Minuteman's signature feature consists of four small channels cut into the chamber walls. These channels allow a controlled amount of gas pressure to push against the neck of the spent cartridge case, improving extraction reliability and reducing fouling—a critical advantage in defensive and tactical applications.
Robust Construction
California Compliance This model is configured to meet California's firearm regulations, featuring a 10-round magazine capacity.
Direct impingement rifles require meticulous engineering to function reliably under demanding conditions. The Minuteman's E2 extraction system addresses one of the primary wear points in this design—the chamber—ensuring consistent performance whether you're training, competing, or relying on your rifle for serious purposes. The lightweight profile and modern ergonomics make this carbine equally at home in the hands of experienced shooters and those new to the platform.
