What is the difference between the MK1 MOD 1-M and MOD 2-M?

MOD 1-M has a KeyMod (PicMod) handguard. MOD 2-M has M-LOK and a fully ambidextrous lower. Both use the PWS long-stroke piston with a 3-setting adjustable gas regulator.

How do I identify my PWS model?

MOD 0: quad-rail (pre-mid-2015). MOD 1: KeyMod with forward assist. MOD 1-P: updated KeyMod (2016). MOD 2-M: M-LOK with ambi controls. Model and serial are on the lower receiver.

What calibers does PWS offer?

MK1: .223 Wylde, .300 BLK, 7.62x39. MK2: .308 Win / 7.62 NATO, 6.5 Creedmoor. PCC: 9mm.

What does the PWS long-stroke piston system do?

It cycles the bolt carrier via a full-length operating rod and gas piston, keeping carbon and heat out of the receiver. The 3-setting gas regulator supports standard, suppressed, and adverse-condition use.

What buffer weight should I use with a PWS upper?

H2 buffers are recommended. A standard carbine buffer can cause over-gassing. Use the H2 Enhanced Buffer (4.4 oz) for standard use or H2 Suppressor Weight Buffer (4.5 oz) for suppressed fire.

Enhanced Buffer Tube: 6-position for stocks or braces. Pistol Buffer Tube: fixed-length for AR pistols. Modified Enhanced Buffer Tube: Law Tactical folding adapter compatible. All include the Ratchet Lock Castle Nut and Endplate Set.
