PHOENIX, AZ (March 2014) — Patriot Ordnance Factory proudly announces our new POF-USA Rifle – the Puritan Model – an entry level P15 in 5.56 / .223. The Puritan is a combination of our already popular regulated short-stroke gas piston system and our NEW E² extraction technology.
The Puritan rifle is an evolutionary update for POF-USA in reaction to changing landscapes of the economy. We are now able to offer an entry level super reliable, quality driven rifle at a reasonable price! It’s loaded with state-of-the-art exclusive POF-USA features. Our Puritan boasts features that include the E² extraction technology; gas regulated three mode piston operation, drop in trigger assembly with crisp 4.5 pound trigger pull, roller cam pin assembly, enhanced anti-tilt buffer tube, and plated one piece bolt and bolt carrier — the same parts used in our flagship line.
This rifle has been built and designed on the premise of the company founder, Frank DeSomma, that everybody should be able to own a POF-USA legendary short- stroke piston weapon system. Our entry-level optics ready platform is built with mil-spec aircraft grade forged aluminum uppers and lowers. The ejection port is embellished with the words God Bless America and our USA Flag.

$1499 and not even a set of irons…entry level? This would be a steal at $1000 but those days are probably gone.
