The PWS MK1 MOD 2-M line, redesigned for 2018, brings next-level performance and innovation to the PWS lineup with the highly reliable long stroke piston system. While retaining the trusted internals common across all PWS rifles, the MK1 MOD 2-M introduces a range of exclusive features that set it apart. At the forefront is the patent-pending PicLok technology on the free-float handguard, providing the flexibility to easily mount either Picatinny or M-LOK accessories, allowing users to tailor the rifle to their specific needs. Crafted with exceptional attention to detail, the MK1 MOD 2-M boasts fully forged upper and lower receivers, underscoring its quality and precision. The rifle has been thoughtfully enhanced with the removal of the forward assist, the addition of a flared mag well, and a built-in trigger guard, all of which contribute to a more refined and ergonomic shooting experience. These upgrades make the MK1 MOD 2-M a truly high-end firearm, combining sleek aesthetics with functionality that excels in any environment.
