PWS MK1 Compound Rifle for sale — a premium hybrid AR-15 built for reliability, accuracy, and full compliance in restricted states. This model features a 16″ (16.1″) .223 Wylde barrel, PWS FSC556 compensator, and CompMag fixed magazine system, making it fully California compliant while delivering top-tier piston-driven performance.
The MK1 Compound combines the proven Mod 1 upper (with forward assist and full M-LOK handguard) with the modern ambidextrous MK1 MOD 2-M lower. Powered by Primary Weapons Systems’ renowned long-stroke piston operating system, it runs cleaner, cooler, and more reliably than traditional direct impingement rifles — ideal for suppressed shooting, high-round-count training, or duty use.
