Patriot Ordnance P415 Edge 16" -5.56NATO

The Patriot Ordnance P415 Edge 16" -5.56NATO is a product of continuous development and improvement to the AR platform. The Modular Railed Receiver (M.R.R) is a two piece upper assembly with a free-floating monolithic handguard that slides on and interfaces directly to the upper assembly thanks to our upper's reinforced backbone. This backbone is five-times thicker than standard flattop platforms. The P415 Edge also features E2 Extraction Technology that ensures proper function, along with an adjustable gas piston system. Other features include complete ambidextrous controls along with the colt catch lever inside the trigger guard, modular free floating rail platform, upgraded drop in trigger, triple port muzzle brake, and numerous internal improvements. To minimize weight, the new P415 Edge Rifle features a redesigned handguard, reducing the size from the original by nearly 20%. These improvements drop the weight down to 7 lbs. Every shooter knows that the beating heart of their rifle is their barrel. Our match-grade chrome-moly barrels are 5R button rifled with polygonal rifling for extreme accuracy and an incredible boost to bullet velocity compared to mil-spec AR barrels. We then finish our barrels with a Nitride Heat Treatment to Rockwell 70 hardness for unsurpassed strength, heat and corrosion resilience, and an average lifespan well into the tens of thousands of rounds. There is no better barrel on the market. 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. Our barrel nut's 3" length also gives the operating rod substantial guiding surface assuring constant positive contact with the bolt carrier. Our 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.
