Minutemen were civilian colonists tasked with being a defensive force to be prepared at a moment's notice. They took it upon themselves to be trained in various weapons and tactics. We deeply admire their patriotism and self-reliance. The "Minuteman" is our twist on what a direct impingement serious carbine should be, topped with the controls and enhancements most important to remain mobile and light. Everything a respectable rifle needs, and nothing it doesn't. Mount your favorite optic and the Minuteman is ready for the range or the field right out of the box. Go ahead and stack these features up to your favorite "other brand" carbine. We think you'll be impressed.
