Key Features
- Nitrided match-grade barrel (16.5″) – Heat-treated and nitrided for corrosion resistance and consistent accuracy. Why it matters: You get reliable shot-to-shot precision without babying the barrel in wet or dusty conditions.
- Gen4 direct-impingement system – POF-USA’s Gen4 DI design reduces carbon fouling and improves gas flow. Why it matters: Fewer malfunctions when running cheap 5.56 or hotter loads, and less cleaning time after a long day.
- Free-floating M-LOK Renegade rail – Full-length top Picatinny rail with M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. Why it matters: Mount lights, lasers, or bipods without shifting zero, and keep the handguard cool during rapid fire.
- Enhanced bolt carrier group – Nickel-boron coated carrier with a chromed bolt. Why it matters: Slicker cycling, easier to wipe clean, and better resistance to carbon buildup compared to mil-spec BCGs.
- Magpul MOE furniture – Stock, grip, and trigger guard from Magpul. Why it matters: Durable, lightweight, and proven for field use—no sharp edges or rattling parts.
Who It’s For
Ranchers, rural workers, and utility shooters who need a 5.56 rifle that pulls double duty at the range and in the field. If you carry a rifle on a UTV, patrol fence lines, or shoot steel on weekends, the Renegade Plus handles the mix without fuss. It’s not a safe queen—it’s a work tool.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the POF Renegade Plus?
The 16.5″ nitrided barrel has a 1:7 twist rate, stabilizing 55–77 grain 5.56 loads. Per POF-USA specs, it’s optimized for match-grade accuracy with heavier bullets.
Does the Renegade Plus come with a case or cleaning kit?
No, it ships in a cardboard box with the rifle, one Magpul PMAG, and a basic manual. You’ll need to supply your own case and cleaning gear.
Can I use steel-case ammunition in this rifle?
Yes, the Gen4 DI system handles steel-case ammo reliably, but expect more carbon buildup. Nitrided barrel resists wear from bi-metal jackets better than chrome-lined barrels.
Is this rifle California-compliant?
No, the Renegade Plus ships with a standard stock and flash hider. You’d need to modify it for compliance in restricted states.
