Patriot Ordnance Factory (POF-USA) have just announced a new bolt action AR-15 platform called the ReVolt, which they humorously say is legal in all 13 original Colonies.

The rear charging handle is replaced with an easy to operate ambidextrous straight-pull bolt. To keep it absolutely legal, the front pivot pin is replaced with a capture pin allowing the upper and lower to open up, but not be taken apart.

The rifle will be available in a light configuration (.223/5.56) and a heavy configuration (.308/7.62). POF did not tell us pricing. The press release is below …
