POF USA Revolution Wins the 2018 NRA Rifleman Golden Bullseye for the Rifle of the Year

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2018

Phoenix, AZ. (January 2018) – Patriot Ordnance Factory is proud to announce the American Rifleman magazine has chosen the POF USA Revolution for the 2018 Golden Bullseye Award for Rifle of the Year.  American Rifleman is the National Rifle Association’s primary magazine with a focus on reviews of different firearms, historical articles about firearms, technical information about reloading and notes from the President of the NRA. The Revolution will be featured in an editorial overview which will appear in the May 2018 issue of American Rifleman, American Hunter, and Shooting Illustrated magazines.

The annual Golden Bullseye Award will be presented to Patriot Ordnance Factory at the invitation-only breakfast Friday May 4th, 2018 during the 2018 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Dallas, Texas.  To be considered for the Golden Bullseye Award, the Revolution was tested and reviewed by the publication’s staff and found to represent the finest quality in a shooting sports product that exceeds not only the reviewers’ expectations, but also its customers.

“The entire Patriot Ordnance Factory Team is extremely pleased to accept this coveted award,” said John Piscione Director of Sales.

The Revolution continues the POF tradition of Relentless Reliability and American innovation. The Revolution is POF-USA’s .308 battle rifle that handles like a 5.56 – because it’s the same size and weight as one. The Revolution features many 5.56 parts; such as charging handle, bolt carrier, roller cam pin, buffer, heat-sink barrel nut, handguard, and 5-position gas piston operating system. The barrel extension, bolt assembly, upper, and lower receiver are the exact same size as those on an AR15. This is truly an AR15 that shoots in .308!

It’s loaded with features such as a fully ambidextrous billet receiver set, Nickel-Phosphate coated bolt carrier group, 5-position adjustable gas piston, single stage match grade trigger, and more. You may have just found your “one gun.”

Dynamis Alliance Launches Two New Products Onto Their R&D Page

Friday, December 29th, 2017

Dynamis Alliance is proud to begin sharing with you the development story of the Zero Clips and Combative Training Barrel.

The Dynamis team has taken all the feedback we have been collecting from the previous clip’s function and applied it to the new Dynamis Zero Clips. The key features remain on the clips. Heat treated metal is used for durability, and we have included a cloth grabber to maximize security and reliability. This capability has been tested on clothing ranging from board shorts to combat pants. The clip also pairs nicely with dress attire, so that you can be prepared to engage in your suit and tie. The Zero Clip will be tuck-able behind a shirt, making concealing your tools cleaner and more discreet. Furthermore, the length of the clip has been reduced to give it the ability to hide behind your belt, reducing your overall profile. This clip will now be the standard on all Dynamis sheathes and holsters. The Zero Clip will be sold individually as well in both the holster and sheath versions.

The Dynamis Alliance Combative Training Barrel is designed to allow you to train with your carry pistol in either a combative environment or during safe, dry fire practice. This aluminum barrel will be anodized high-vis red to make a clear distinction that this is a training tool and not a live barrel. This barrel is blocked off to make accidental loading impossible. This barrel will fit Gen 4 and below Glock 19 and 17 pistols.
