E2 DUAL-EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY | |
POF’s patented 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. This pressure assists in extraction by breaking the seal between the chamber and case as well as pushing the spent case to the rear as the extractor is pulling to the rear.

OVERSIZED HEAT SINK BARREL NUT | |
| |
The patented oversized heat sink barrel nut is one of the most significant innovations. At three inches long it completely encompasses the chamber and throat area of the barrel where expanding gas temperatures peak. Take into account the radiation properties of aluminum compared to traditional steel and you have 17 times more heat dissipation than a standard AR. The barrel nut’s 3” length also gives the operating rod substantial guiding surface assuring constant positive contact with the bolt carrier. The enhanced backbone receiver also move the upper’s natural stress point forward. This adds a massive amount of rigidity to the overall platform and is critical when vertical fore grips are being pulled on the upper assembly. | |
BOLT CARRIER GROUP & ROLLER CAM PIN | |
BOLT CARRIER GROUPOur one piece high-phosphorus nickel coated bolt carrier is manufactured with the mechanical key built into the body and positioned behind the cam pin. This patented design helps reduce carrier tilt. Our bolt carrier group features a chrome plated bolt, extractor, and firing pin. The finishes are both corrosion resistant and introduce lubricious characteristics to the action. | Roller Cam PinThe patented roller cam pin is just one more example of how POF strives to reduce friction and drag in the action. Standard AR cam pins feature a square steel head that literally grinds and carves away at the inside of the receiver. POF’s NP3 coated roller head actually rolls inside the channel of the upper thus eliminating friction and prolonging the life of the upper.

ANTI-TILT BUFFER TUBE | |
| |
| 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. This prevents carrier tilt and premature wear of the buffer tube. The buffer detent now doubles as a lock that inhibits the buffer tube from rotating and becoming loose under adverse conditions. The anti-tilt buffer tube also features three drain holes. | |

POF USA
Patriot Ordnance Factory (POF-USA) manufactures and distributes law enforcement, military and civilian rifles in Phoenix, Arizona, and was the first manufacturer and seller of gas-piston-operated weapon systems on AR-style rifles in the United States. POF-USA was founded in 2002 by aerospace engineer Frank DeSomma with the intent of solving the most common problems with gas impingement AR15 systems. The company now holds numerous patents and awards for their products.
