Primary Weapons Systems MK116 MOD2-M .223 Wylde Piston Driven AR Rifle

Overview

The PWS MK116 MOD2-M represents a robust AR platform, engineered to deliver consistent performance across diverse operational demands. Chambered in .223 Wylde, this rifle is designed for optimal accuracy with both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition, leveraging a precise chamber geometry that mitigates pressure variances while ensuring projectile stability.

Operating System and Reliability

Central to the MK116 MOD2-M’s design is the Primary Weapons Systems long-stroke piston operating system. This proprietary mechanism directs combustion gases forward, expelling fouling away from the receiver and bolt carrier group. This significantly reduces carbon accumulation within the action, thereby maintaining cooler operating temperatures and substantially decreasing maintenance requirements. The result is enhanced reliability and sustained operational performance, particularly during prolonged firing schedules or in austere environments where conventional direct impingement systems exhibit increased fouling and heat-related wear.

Performance and Adaptability

The 16.1-inch barrel length provides a calculated balance of maneuverability and ballistic velocity retention across diverse engagement scenarios. The MOD2-M configuration integrates an adjustable gas block, enabling precise regulation of gas pressure to accommodate varying ammunition types, environmental conditions, or the addition of a sound suppressor. This level of user control ensures optimal cycling and recoil impulse management. The integrated M-LOK handguard offers a modular and secure interface for essential **firearm accessories** and **tactical optics**, facilitating rapid mission-specific configuration without compromising structural integrity or adding undue mass.

Applications

Engineered for consistent performance and user-friendly maintenance, the PWS MK116 MOD2-M is a verified asset for competitive engagements, operational deployment, and demanding recreational applications. Its technical attributes position it as a resilient and adaptable platform for discerning operators.
