lAyout The MK1-series rifles are not unlike many other AR-15s in outward appearance. They are true mil-spec weapons, which not only mean that mil-spec accessories can be installed, but also warrant the highest heavy duty quality. They just ooze esthetics and detailing, right from the first glance. The hand- guard (KeyMod standard with full-length 1913 top rail over the whole length of the upper and handguard) inspires trust: heavy duty, but really quite light for a piston-driven gun, it can take lots of punishment. It is mounted to the barrel nut with 6 screws, and quite rigid as a whole. Pistol grip and stock are Magpul MOEs – popular with the products of that price level, excellent quality components. They are perfect entry-level furniture for a novice PWS user – with time one develops an urge to replace them with some- thing more customized. Non-standard buffer tube has longi- tudinal grooves and drain holes in the bottom (that's perhaps useful when you fell into a pond – there's no other way water can enter there in normal conditions). Additionally buffer tube / lower receiver extension has a proprietary mounting system with ambidextrous QD sling attachment. That's what meets the eye – admittedly, it so far fits most ARs. You have to take a second, less casual glance to see the differences. FIREARMS
