The PWS MK-116 Mod-1 is a precise, reliable and technologically advanced American carbine, adapted to 5.56 x 45 mm/.223 Remington ammunition, which will allow you to achieve even better results thanks to its unique technological solutions. A feature unique to this carbine is the use of a gas system that does not rely on direct gas action on the slide or short-stroke piston, but on a long-stroke gas piston design - identical to that of an AK carbine. This makes the weapon definitely cleaner, more pleasant to work with and reduces the number of moving parts. The presented model has a barrel length of 16".
Features of the PWS MK-116 Mod-1 carbine:
- It is equipped with a Wylde-type breech chamber: allows the use of both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO ammunition.
- Exceptional durability: thanks to precision-machined alumunium components (breech chamber and trigger).
- Stable platform - reliability even under intensive use.
- Smooth operation of the mechanism even in intensive shooting thanks to the long-stroke piston.
- Thread pitch of 1:8 provides excellent accuracy for bullets weighing from 55 gr to 77 gr.
- Triad556 barrel discharge compensator: effective reduction of under-feed and flash of shot.
- Bravo Company grip and flask: superior ergonomics and grip.
- Premium finish: aesthetics that attract the eye, but also protect the weapon.
- Alumunium front bed equipped with a 22mm rail and a set of M-LOK type mounts.
- Left-side wing fuse located on the breech chamber.
- Duplicated on both sides of the breech latch/release button from the rear position.
- Extendable flask with multiple positioning.
- Comes with a transparent magazine for 30 rounds.
Wylde-type chamber in the PWS MK-116 carbine.
If you are looking for a carbine that combines high precision and reliability, the PWS Compound will be your new benchmark. It is a weapon created for those who do not recognize compromises - professionals, sport shooters and enthusiasts of modern AR designs. Equipped with a breech chamber created by Bill Wylde, the PWS carbine allows fully safe use of .223 Rem and 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition.
Operating principle based on the long stroke of the gas piston
The PWS MK-116 carbine is based on the discharge of some of the powder gases through a side hole in the barrel. The powder gases, then, act on the long-stroke piston, which is permanently connected to the slide assembly and the breech, unlocking it. The weapon is cocked by rotating the breech with 6 symmetrical bolts. The breech and trigger chamber, standard for AR-15 platform-based carbines, is made of milled aluminum covered with a durable protective coating. The presence of a gas regulator is also an important feature, allowing the weapon to be adapted to a suppressor/ammunition.
Precision gas regulator in the weapon
The MK-116 offers a 3-position gas regulator system that allows you to adjust the weapon's action to your needs. Whether you are using a suppressor, shooting subsonic ammunition, or training at full power, you will have full control over the weapon's behavior.
- Position 1 - maximum amount of gas (ideal for low-quality ammunition and with dirty weapons).
- Position 2 - standard mode with a universal spectrum of use.
- Position 3 - suppressor mode (reduced back pressure and smoother duty cycle).
The barrel of the PWS MK-116 carbine
The carbine is equipped with a 16" (40.64 cm) long barrel, which allows safe and accurate shooting with both .223 Rem and 5.56x45 mm NATO ammunition. Thanks to the 1:8 thread pitch, the carbine perfectly stabilizes a wide range of available ammunition.
