The firearms industry has shown itself to be serious about performance. We, as consumers, are the beneficiaries of that to a certain point. The challenge with the “better, stronger, faster” is that it comes at a price. Enter Patriot Ordnance Factory. While they, too, have a few rifles in the rare air price range, they are also plugged into reality. POF has recently announced the release of a very special rifle: the new POF P-15 Base.
The POF P-15 Base Rifle
The Base rifle combines the high-quality craftsmanship that POF-USA is known for at an extremely competitive entry-level price. The P-15 Base rifle is 100% American-made and designed with precision to ensure reliability. While they may use the term “Base” in the name, it is not a basic rifle.
More than Meets the Eye
The rifle features excellent components. These include POF’s patented E2 extraction chamber and a 16.5″ Match-Grade 5.56 NATO barrel. The barrel is hearty and formed from 4150 chrome vanadium steel. It has a 1:8 twist and is topped off with an A2 flash hider. POF also includes their patented roller cam pin, which prolongs the life of the upper. Lastly, it features POF’s anti-tilt buffer tube, which ensures buffer and bolt carrier group reliability.
POF-USA aims to offer a gun that won’t break the bank. At the same time, POF wanted it to be a high-performance rifle. “At an MSRP of under $1,000, the BASE is our response to customers looking for an entry-level rifle option that still embodies the POF-USA standard of quality and reliability,” said Jeremy Selting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at POF-USA. “We are proud to offer a rifle that delivers the features and reliability shooters want at an accessible price point, making it perfect for new and seasoned enthusiasts.”
The POF P-15 Base Rifle – Price Friendly
There are certain things that shooters will notice about the POF P-15 Base. First, it shoots and feels like a much more expensive gun. I say that from experience. There simply is no slop or play on POF rifles. Add into that the roller cam on the bolt carrier group and you get a very smooth shooting rifle. A tip of the hat to POF-USA for building a high-quality gun at an entry-level price. If you want to get into the AR world, but the price has been challenging, check out the P-15 Base. You won’t be disappointed.
