The POF-USA Renegade+ DI SBR in black is a direct-impingement short-barreled rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 10.5-inch barrel (Patriot Ordnance Factory part no. 00968). Direct impingement gives it the lighter, more traditional AR layout, as opposed to POF’s piston rifles. It runs semi-automatic and ships with a 30-round magazine. The black finish separates it from the Burnt Bronze Renegade+ DI SBR, which is otherwise the same configuration. It is a compact rifle for home defense, training and suppressed shooting.
