I'm trying to decide between a PWS Mk1 Mod2 and a LWRCi DI. Any experiences or thoughts on the matter would be appreciated. I'm not necessarily enamored with the fact that the PWS is a piston gun, but I do like that it's a long stroke piston like the AK vs the typical tappet design found in piston ARs. I also prefer the PWS's aesthetic. The DI version of the LWRC is undoubtably a sweet rifle also, and is now priced dramatically lower than it's competition (DD, BCM, KAC, LMT, Larue, etc).


I'm able to get a new PWS for only $1450, or the LWRC for just over $1000. However, the PWS already comes with a "premium" trigger, a ZEV SSR single stage, whereas the LWRC comes with a BCM version of a milspec, meaning it will be getting a Geissele SDE ($240).
