PWS MK116 MOD 2-M Upper Receiver 7.62×39 – 16.1″ Barrel
The Primary Weapons Systems (PWS) MK116 MOD 2-M is a top-tier long-stroke piston upper receiver specifically engineered to handle the 7.62x39mm cartridge with unmatched reliability. While many 7.62×39 AR builds struggle with gas port erosion and fouling, PWS solves these issues using their legendary Long Stroke Piston System, inspired by the ultra-reliable AK-47 design but refined with AR-15 precision.
This MOD 2-M variant is the flagship of the PWS line, featuring a fully forged upper receiver that eliminates the forward assist for a sleeker, lightweight, and snag-free profile. The 16.1″ precision-rifled barrel is crafted from 41V50 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel and finished in Isonite QPQ for extreme durability and corrosion resistance. The heart of the system is the 3-setting adjustable gas block, allowing you to perfectly tune the rifle for suppressed use, varying ammo types, or adverse environmental conditions.
Equipped with the innovative PicLok™ handguard, you get the best of both worlds: M-LOK mounting surfaces along the length of the rail with integrated Picatinny sections at the front for solid mounting of lights and lasers. Finished with a Radian Raptor ambidextrous charging handle and a PWS FSC 30 compensator, this upper is a complete, drop-in solution for shooters who want AK-47 power with modern AR-15 ergonomics.
