POF-USA Minuteman 5.56 AR-15 - 01644

The POF-USA Minuteman 5.56 AR-15 rifle is a direct impingement fighting carbine built for shooters who value precision, reliability, and no-nonsense functionality. Named after colonial militiamen who stayed combat-ready, this rifle strips away unnecessary complexity and keeps only what matters: a properly tuned platform that handles equally well at the range, in the field, or wherever serious shooting happens. At 6.2 lbs, it stays nimble without sacrificing the controls and ergonomics that matter when every second counts.

POF-USA engineered the Minuteman around genuine fighting rifle principles. The straight 3.5 lb match-grade trigger gives you the precision to ring steel accurately, while the ambidextrous Strike Eagle charging handle and ambidextrous QD sling attachment work equally well for left- and right-handed shooters. The proprietary 3-prong flash hider tames muzzle blast, and the nitride heat-treated barrel is built for sustained use. Under the hood sits an enhanced MIL-SPEC bolt carrier group with POF's patented Roller Cam Pin—a detail that reduces wear and keeps the gun running when it matters.

The rail system deserves its own mention. POF's Renegade Rail incorporates a patented oversized heat sink barrel nut that manages heat better than conventional setups, keeping zero shifts minimal during sustained fire. Whether you run a 16.5" carbine-length or rifle-length configuration (your choice), the gas system is tuned for reliability and consistency. The 14.5" rail gives you plenty of real estate for optics and accessories without adding bulk.

This is a rifle designed for optic-ready use straight out of the box—mount your favorite scope and it's mission-capable. No exotic parts, no learning curve. Just a purposeful AR-15 that does one thing well: shoot where you aim, every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gas system does this rifle use?

The Minuteman is available in carbine-length gas system (on the pistol model) or midlength gas system (on the rifle model), depending on which variant you select. Both are direct impingement.

Can I mount an optic right out of the box?

Yes. The rifle is designed to be optic-ready. Simply mount your favorite scope or red dot to the rail and you're ready to shoot.
