The Patriot Ordnance Factory Minuteman Direct Impingement in 5.56x45mm NATO (brand part no. 01649) is a California-compliant semi-auto rifle built around a 16.5-inch black nitride barrel with a Tungsten-finished receiver. Patriot Ordnance Factory builds this rifle with E2 dual-extraction technology, using four small channels cut into the chamber walls to push gas pressure against the neck of the spent case for more reliable extraction. The mil-spec aluminum anti-tilt buffer tube includes carrier cradle extensions to keep the bolt carrier supported even when fully forward, and the rifle is fitted with a 6-position black polymer MFT stock and grip. Among California-compliant AR platforms in the AR rifles category, this Minuteman favors shooters in restrictive-feature states who still want POF’s E2 extraction system.
