Just had a question from a member wondering how I like my PWS Mod 2. Thought I'd update this thread with my reply to him.
I would definitely buy it again. Super sweet rifle made even sweeter by the ridiculously good deal I got.
What I've learned: A) the barrel needs a good amount of breaking in, likely because of the insanely hard surface treatment. After a longer than usual break in (compared to a standard 416 barrel) it now is definitely a sub moa shooter if I do my part with good ammo. B) The ambi controls are "meh." If I could change anything, I would get rid of the ambi controls. They don't bother me, I just don't find them useful. I'm just used to a standard AR, I suppose.
What I've changed: A) Trigger is a Geissele SSA, B) Safety is 45 degree from Armaspec (I like it, and it doesn't hit my trigger finger like the original safety), C) Safety detent (the original was kinda mushy, so I put in a RRA detent and that fixed it). D) Also added a 2mm spacer under the detent spring to give it a bit more resistance. E) Replaced the sweet FSC556 muzzle device with an AAC flash hider. F) Sprinco "Hot White" carbine spring. Which still allows me to shoot standard 5.56 in the middle gas position, and gives me the option of going to position 1 if the rifle were to get super dirty and sluggish. Tried the Sprinco Blue, but it made the rifle unable to cycle in the middle position without a can.
My favorite AR for sure.
