Design Philosophy

The Minuteman's compact 13.75" barrel length makes it ideal for shooters who prioritize maneuverability without sacrificing velocity or reliability. The pinned muzzle brake reduces recoil and muzzle rise, enhancing control during rapid fire sequences.

The Renegade Rail handguard provides ample real estate for mounting lights, lasers, and other tactical accessories. Its free-floating design supports accuracy while maintaining the modularity modern shooters expect.
