Build a serious short-barrel AR-15 around the Patriot Ordnance Factory Minuteman 10.5″ complete upper — POF-USA’s MILSPEC pistol/SBR upper, fully assembled and ready to drop onto any standard AR-15 lower receiver.
What’s in the box:
- 10.50″ 4150 chromoly steel barrel with QPQ black nitride finish for corrosion resistance and extended barrel life
- E-Squared chamber — POF’s hybrid 5.56x45mm NATO / .223 Wylde chamber, safely handles full-pressure 5.56 NATO ammunition while delivering .223 Wylde-class accuracy
- Mid-length direct impingement gas system with low-profile gas block — gas port positioned between carbine and rifle length for noticeably smoother recoil impulse and reduced bolt velocity on a 10.5″ barrel
- 9″ Renegade M-LOK handguard in Patriot Brown — full-length over the gas system with M-LOK accessory slots, anti-rotation tabs, and four integrated QD sling mount points
- Three-prong flash hider — POF’s signature muzzle device, dramatically reduces visible muzzle flash
- Strike Eagle ambidextrous charging handle — extended ambi latch, built for fast right- or left-hand manipulation
- Patriot Brown anodized aluminum upper receiver — POF’s signature FDE-toned finish
Compatibility & legal notice:
This is a short-barrel upper assembly (10.5″ barrel). Federal law dictates how it can be legally assembled:
- Pistol build: Pair with an AR-15 pistol lower (no stock; pistol brace permitted). Legal in most states.
- Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR): Pair with a lower receiver that has been registered as an SBR via ATF Form 1 or Form 4. Legal with the required NFA paperwork.
- Do not install on a standard rifle lower with a shoulder stock unless that lower is already SBR-registered. Mounting a short-barrel upper on an unregistered rifle lower creates an unregistered Short-Barreled Rifle, which is a federal felony under the National Firearms Act.
State-level restrictions on short-barrel uppers, pistol braces, and SBRs vary widely. The buyer is responsible for verifying legality in their jurisdiction before assembly. Gnome Arms ships only to FFL dealers in states where the configuration is lawful.
If you want a short, fast, smooth-shooting AR-15 upper from one of the most respected names in the industry, this is the assembly to build around.

Project Rogue was an exercise to turn the Revolution platform into the lightest .308 semi auto rifle on the market, and to do it without needless lightening cuts. The Rogue features a forged receiver set, stainless steel barrel, KeyLock DI BCG and Renegade rail & oversized heatsink barrel nut, all topped off with our Micro B muzzle brake.
POF patented Roller Cam Pin is just one example of how far we will go to reduce friction and drag. Standard AR cam pins feature a square (steel) head that grinds along the inside of the aluminum receiver. Used as a replacement part for our piston Bolt Carrier Groups. This roller cam pin fits the POF P308 (7.62 Model) bolt assembly.
POF nickel plated AR15 bolt assembly is manufactured to MIL-SPEC and is ready for any AR-15/M16 carrier. In addition to being compatible with both piston and DI rifles, it comes with the extractor and ejector installed.
POF Enhanced Finger Placement (EFP) trigger introduces a forward design that naturally guides the tip of your finger to the same resting place for a precise, smooth, consistent trigger pull every single time. This single-stage, non-adjustable, drop-in trigger features a solid 4-pound pull weight and is assembled in hard coat anodized aluminum housing (complete with rubber urethane feet) for immediate competition, hunting, and tactical applications right out of the box. Cut from American A2 tool steel, the trigger, disconnect, and hammer are all nitride heat-treated to 70 Rockwell case hardness for ultimate strength and corrosion resistance. The Trigger includes custom-fit stainless steel KNS Precision Anti walk Pins for both standard AR and POF USA ambidextrous lower receivers. NOTE: This trigger will not fit inside a DPMS lower.
The Stripped P-415 Lower Receiver is a 100% fully ambidextrous lower receiver. This lower receiver accepts all standard Mil-Spec lower receiver AR-parts. Grab your favorite lower receiver parts kit and built this lower the way you want, while having the additional benefit of ambidextrous controls.
With the Dictator adjustable gas block, you can now control the rate of fire, gas pressure, and the reliability of your rifle. Choose one of 9 gas positions to dictate the gas pressure and cyclic rate. Adjusting the gas system is quick and painless. Choose one of three methods to dial the gas regulator: a flat screwdriver, 3/32 hex wrench, or the dictator wrench. The Dictator adjustable gas block features a straight gas tube.
The P415 reliability has been tested time after time and the operating system perfected. Features E2 Extraction Technology, complete ambidextrous fire controls, modular free floating rail platform and numerous internal improvements make it the pinnacle of firearms. For the P415 Edge Pistol, weve cut the bulk. To minimize weight and maximize shooter comfort, POF-USA redesigned the MMR handguard. Not only does this drop the weight down to 6.5 lbs, it provides even better ergonomics to the shooter. This is a Piston Driven Firearm.
The Renegade features heat sink barrel nut, Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block, with straight gas tube, and a nitride heat treated barrel. Its receiver is completely ambidextrous and includes a flat 3.5lb match grade trigger with KNS Precision anti-walk pins. The upper receiver is held within an Ultimate Bolt Carrier Group. NP3 coated for maximum protection & reliability, integrated gas key (no screws required) and the POF-USA Roller Cam Pin upgrade installed from the factory.
The POF ambidextrous safety selector is a drop in upgrade designed to increase the shooters’ options and maximize the efficiency of taking the rifle from “fire” to “safe”.
The QD end plate is a low profile sling mount that does not interfere with the stock when fully collapsed. It features an anti-rotational QD sling swivel attachment. As a result, it allows the operator to focus on the target and not on untangling themselves from their sling. The POF-USA QD end plate is optimal with single-point style slings with push-button quick disconnect sling swivels.
The Minuteman is POF's twist on what a direct impingement fighting carbine should be, topped with the controls and enhancements most important to remain mobile and light. Its E2 dual-extraction technology consists of four small channels cut into the walls of the chamber allowing a small amount of gas pressure to push against the neck of the spent case. The mil-spec aluminum anti-tilt buffer tube features carrier cradle extensions to ensure that the carrier is always supported by the buffer tube even when the bolt carrier is fully forward.
