I have a Meridian Defense AK I'm thinking of getting rid of and am looking into the PWS MK113 Alpha. Only 250 being made and going for $2500. They have been out for a while and haven't sold out, which makes me wonder if they are worth the limited edition title and cost compared to their standard rifles. Anyone have any input on this rifle? People seem to love PWS, but I have no experience with them. The piston experience I have is my LMT, which has been fantastic.
All help is appreciated! |

LOL not for $2500. They're acting like a strictly commercial rifle will somehow be worth a crazy amount of money for collectors.
I read their description and it makes me laugh. They use a 1/7 5R twist on their 416R stainless barrels, been done before. Now they have a continuous top rail 1913 handguard and a gas block accessible from the front, cool. About the only interesting thing about the gun is that its anodized OD green. My old PWS MK111 MOD2M upper is relegated to sitting and collecting dust. Got a couple HK MR556 uppers and was able to modify them to my liking. I'd suggest either an LMT or an HK. |

I'm assuming it was built from a foreign Parts Kit, even if it wasn't... I Love PWS, but Meridian AK's are not worth this trade. Hold onto that Meridian Defense AK, that is one you will definitely regret getting rid of. PWS makes amazing Products and Firearms, save up and buy yourself one. That limited edition looks cool, but nothing outside their normal lineup other than looks is going for it. Keep the AK. |

PWS makes a good product, but that’s absurd.

As others have said, not worth it for $2500. I love my PWS rifles and the Alphas are neat but the premium is just ridiculous.

I had a feeling these would be the responses I would get. It seemed awfully expensive for what they are offering, but I'm now well versed in the company to know if I was miissing something. I appreciate the help! I did read the description a few times and was coming to the same conclusion as everyone else. I'm also not a fan of the pinned muzzle device that doesn't go with any suppressors I currently own. I am intrigueddd by the OD green! But not $2500 intrigued.

Looks like PWS is trying to get more Gucci, like the Geissele or LMT guys.

Stainless barrels killed it for me, even before price. Regular Mod 1 or mod2 is a better buy. I think PWS had the best gad system on the market.

I was contracting when they first came out and we bought some. The barrels were smoked fast. That being said, they never stopped working even though the Mod 0 rails got HAWT. |

The finish is beautiful.
Food for thought. Your limited to what pws pin and welds to the barrel unless your already set up for or plan to use their system |

I looked at the PWS website and I dont see anything related to MK113 o Alpha....so I am not sure what yall are talking about
But as far as PWS, I have a MK114 and it is outstanding. I think a PWS MK111 would be the ultimate SBR |
