Buy MK116 Compound Rifle .223 Wylde

Buy PWS MK116 Compound Rifle — a versatile hybrid AR-15 that combines the best features of PWS Mod 1 and Mod 2 designs. Chambered in .223 Wylde with a 16.1″ barrel, this rifle delivers excellent accuracy, reliability, and maneuverability in a lightweight package weighing just 6.8 lbs unloaded.
