The Patriot Ordnance Factory Minuteman Complete Upper in 5.56x45mm NATO is a stripped upper receiver assembly built for shooters who want a quality mid-length platform without the guesswork of sourcing individual components. POF-USA brings their reputation for precision manufacturing to this ready-to-run upper, pairing a 16.5-inch black nitride barrel with a low-profile direct impingement gas block and a 14.5-inch M-LOK handguard. Whether you're building a tack-driving rifle for the range, setting up a reliable carbine for hunting, or assembling a home-defense AR, this upper delivers the essentials in one package.
The 16.5-inch barrel length sits in the practical sweet spot—short enough for handling in tight spaces, long enough to extract velocity and accuracy from 5.56 ammunition. Black nitride finish on the barrel resists corrosion and wear, and the aluminum receiver is hard-coat anodized for durability. The mid-length gas system strikes a balance between reliability and recoil management, and the low-pro gas block keeps your sight plane uncluttered. The 14.5-inch M-LOK handguard gives you room to mount lights, lasers, or bipods without bulk.
This is an upper receiver assembly—you'll need a lower receiver and standard AR-15 components to complete the rifle. No BCG or charging handle included; those are sourced separately. If you're a builder who values quality parts from a brand known for American manufacturing and attention to detail, POF's Minuteman upper is a solid foundation.
