The PWS MK111 MOD 2 upper receiver in .223 Wylde represents a mature, battle-tested short-barreled platform built around Primary Weapons Systems' reputation for reliable piston-driven design. This 11.85-inch upper combines a 1:8 twist barrel, forged receiver, and PWS's carbine-length long-stroke piston system to deliver the kind of versatility that makes it equally at home in a hunting rig, tactical training course, or precision build. At 3 lb. 14 oz., it's engineered for the shooter who wants genuine performance without unnecessary weight.
The MK111 MOD 2 strips away the forward assist and adds practical features — a Triad556 compensator, a 3-setting adjustable gas system for tuning to different loads and suppressors, and a Radian Raptor charging handle. The real standout is the PicLok free float handguard, which lets you run either Picatinny or M-Lok accessories up front without compromise. That flexibility has earned the MK111 MOD 2 a solid following among PWS shooters and professionals who cycle the same upper through multiple mission profiles.
This is the upper only — you'll pair it with a compatible lower receiver to complete your rifle. Whether you're assembling a dedicated hog gun, a compact duty rifle, or an SBR for training, the MK111 MOD 2's piston reliability and gas adjustability handle suppressed and unsuppressed fire without the tuning headaches of direct impingement. The .223 Wylde chamber accepts both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition, giving you ammunition flexibility at the range or in the field.
