Primary Weapons Systems Compound Semi-Automatic Rifle .223 Wylde 16.1" Barrel (1)-30Rd Magazine Black Finish
Primary Weapons Systems was formed by firearm enthusiasts in 2008. Starting out by producing muzzle devices, we tested our compensators on all different types of rifles - from M4s to AK-47s. After using both styles of rifles in testing with high round counts, the difference in maintenance needed was both astounding. From that basic realization, the PWS long-stroke piston system was born; keeping the core values of the AR-15 design, while also lessening the need for maintenance in high-volume fire situations and adverse conditions. The Compound Rifle is a combination of a Mod 1 upper, with the Mk1 Mod 2 Lower.

The 223 Wylde is not a cartridge but a chamber. Although case dimensions of the 223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge are identical, pressures are not the same, chambers are not cut the same, and the two are not fully interchangeable. 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition should not be fired in a 223 Remington chamber. 223 Remington ammunition can safely be fired in a 5.56x45mm NATO chamber--but functioning may not be perfect in all semiautomatic actions. Bill Wylde of Greenup, Illinois created a "hybrid" chamber that enables full use of both types of ammunition in the same chamber, essentially the best of all worlds because of the huge variety of both 223 and 5.56 loads on the market. — Craig Boddington
