Details:
If you've gotten this far, you won't need a shove to get into a gas piston upper. After all, if that system worked in the M-14 for all these decades, it will work for you. The gas piston system runs cleaner and cooler than its direct impingement cousin. Forget about conversion kits. You need a PWS MK116 PRO upper and some range time. Experience the difference, pick your favorite, or keep both.
The Bar Has Been Raised
Primary Weapon Systems went with 416 stainless steel for the barrel on this PWS MK116 PRO upper. Then they finished the bore of the .223 Wylde barrel with 1:8 twist button rifling, a combination you'll find in premium barrels throughout the industry. The .223 Wylde chamber lets you safely fire both .223 and 5.56 ammo interchangeably, so you can find a load that works for you. The gas system gives you three settings, so this piston upper adjusts to your specific load and situation.
She's Not A Bench Queen
This PWS MK116 PRO upper wasn't built to live at the range. Primary Weapons Systems builds its products for warriors. That's not to say an AR-15 wearing this piston upper can't dominate the shooting range too. The range is for fun and testing. PWS products are built for the real world. When your range rifle breaks, you leave it and get it fixed, no big deal. When you're an operator and your service gun fails, somebody could die. This piston upper is built for years of hard service and a high round count. At Primary Weapon Systems, your success is the benchmark.
