PWS ar

Does anyone own a pws piston AR?

I was curious what your thoughts on this rifle. It seems interesting and the piston system is different. More like an ak style.

But the pistons system looks flimsy and doesn't look durable, especially in the long run.

I wonder how it will hold up after thousands of rounds.

It also seems the if you can take out the gas key and put in a regular gas key, you could pop that BCG into your DI AR. But assume the pws BCG is proprietary.

Dmack has a extensive review on the mk 114 on sniperhide forum perhaps you should look it up. It will answer all your questions. Oh And it's a pretty simple rugged design. Perhaps ill post a pic of my mk 112 upper I'm using for a pistol build.

How long have u had urs?

[wildbill714]

I had the mk 114 put around 1200 rds through it, then sold it to my cousin, It was the older style. never had any problems just like getting new things all the time...also had a pws mk 109 pistol in 300blk..dont have that anymore either...good thing because ammo was expensive and I never really got time to shoot it the way it needed to be was just sitting around... yea I think dmack has around way over 30,000rds through his..I mean he's a SWAT instructor...I like PWS because its rugged,simple and light DI ar like in weight... truth be Id rank PWS, LWRC and SIG and HK all in the same league if your looking for a piston.. I like DI ars also nothing wrong with them..also the new PWS system fixed all the apparent issues, well not really issues just added things like a free float system and adjustable gas system for suppressor use..

^^^ Is the Sig516 in that group? If so, that is good news since it's a little bit cheaper and will have the same reliability as the LWRC and HK?

It's a long-stroke piston; not sure how that could be considered "flimsy".

I have a mixture of PWS gas piston with ASA side charging handle upper.IT works really well.Has shot about 1200 rounds through it.the only thing it does not like wolf or any low power ammo.

In comparison to the POF you own, You'd be upgrading if you got PWS.

Wow nice.

I'm also interested in a PWS upper but one in 7.62x39. I think they made one in that caliber but perhaps not anymore? I don't nice many companies make 7.62x39 gas piston uppers.

the updated version of the PWS system allows you to adjust the gas system so you can fire all types of ammo, also for adding a suppressor

Yes I definitely rank the Sig on par

[tvfreakarms]

Do u have a link from that guy dmack? 30k plus now that what i like to hear.
i noticed that pws doesn't sell their .308 upper by itself.

just curious how easy is it to take off the hg? would it still hold zero?

[tvfreakarms]

Although i haven't shot my pof a lot so far its been good to me.
To me to quality seems to be good. like their barrel & type of finish they use

PWS piston rifles are some of the best out there. If you can afford one and one is available to you, go for it.

That said, you don't have to have a piston AR. A DI rifle will serve you just fine. You go to the range to shoot, not arid deserts of Iraq or rugged mountains of Afghanistan. Furthermore, you can't legally possess silencers in CA. So you see? There is little need for a piston AR.

But if you want one, PWS is the one I would pick. Beyond that, I would maybe take a look at Faxon Firearm's new ARAK upper or a Sig556/551.

Faxon firearms seems interesting. I like the fact that you can change the barrel and get a .300 if u wanted to.

Do you own a faxon?
