Patriot Ordnance Factory Renegade Plus Upper 13.75 5.56 Direct Impingement Adjustable Gas Block

The Patriot Ordnance Factory Renegade Plus Upper for .223/5.56 pairs precision engineering with practical reliability, delivering a direct impingement AR-15 upgrade that goes beyond the typical carbine upgrade. This upper combines a roller cam pin and a patented heat sink barrel nut to minimize heat buildup and wear, while the straight gas tube helps reduce heat transfer to critical components, promoting cooler operation and longer service life. The Dictator 9-position adjustable gas block gives shooters precise control over gas pressure, enabling optimal tuning for diverse ammunition loads or suppressor use, and the result is a smoother, more consistent cycling experience. The Renegade Plus Upper is designed to address the weaknesses of standard direct impingement systems, offering improved reliability, reduced felt recoil, and enhanced accuracy. All 13.75 uppers are pinned and welded to a 16.1 overall length using a Dead Air muzzle brake, providing a compliant, finished profile right from the start. Built to empower serious shooters and hunters, this upper is a robust foundation for a high-performance AR-15 platform.
