U.S.A. — Primary Weapons Systems (PWS) has recently released the limited edition MK113 Alpha Rifle. This is welcome news for those who have been fans of PWS for many years, as the Alpha is an exclusive recreation of the PWS original Mark I Alpha, originally released in 2018. Only 250 of these rifles have been made, and each ships with a certificate of authenticity and a unique challenge coin. This rifle is a must-have for collectors and PWS enthusiasts alike.
The Alpha is unique compared to the rest of the PWS lineup due to a combination of fine-tuned enhancements. With a 1:7 twist rate, the Alpha offers exceptional stability for heavy bullets, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and performance. The construction of this rifle is of the highest quality, featuring robust steel plates and screws for a rock-solid rail assembly. Additionally, the gas adjustment knob takes a strategic shift, now positioned in front of the rail, providing convenient access and no need for an adjustment tool. These many carefully engineered modifications make the Alpha completely embody the PWS commitment to innovation, delivering a truly exceptional firearm.
