Pws Mk111 Mod 2-M Upper 338Arc 11.85 Ls Frc
The Primary Weapons Systems Mk111 Mod 2-M upper receiver in 338 ARC combines the modular versatility PWS is known for with a modern intermediate cartridge built for serious shooters. This 338 ARC upper features an 11.85-inch barrel and comes equipped with PWS's reliable free-float rail system, giving you a capable mid-range setup that handles hunting, tactical use, and precision shooting without unnecessary bulk. Whether you're building a short-range hunting rifle or a compact precision platform, the Mk111 Mod 2-M delivers the accuracy and durability PWS customers expect.
PWS uppers are engineered to Mil-Spec standards and work seamlessly with standard AR-15 compatible lower receivers. The 338 ARC cartridge sits between 223 Remington and 308 Winchester in terms of power and velocity, making it an excellent choice for medium-range hunting and target shooting. The free-float rail isolates the barrel from the receiver to maximize consistency shot-to-shot, and the 11.85-inch configuration keeps your overall package compact while maintaining effective ballistics at practical distances.
This is a quality upper receiver assembly from a manufacturer that knows modern rifle systems inside and out. If you run a mil-spec lower or are planning to complete a new build, the Mk111 Mod 2-M in 338 ARC is a straightforward path to a specialized, accurate rifle.
