Limited Edition Rifle with a Premium Build

Primary Weapons Systems (PWS) has released the MK114 Alpha, a limited edition rifle that highlights the company’s focus on precision, innovation, and build quality. With only 100 units produced, the Alpha is designed for shooters who value refined performance and high-end components.

Purpose-Built for Performance

The MK114 Alpha stands apart from other offerings in the PWS lineup. Unlike the Mod 2 series, which is optimized for competition and lightweight handling, or the Compound series, known for its workhorse versatility, the Alpha is intended for enthusiasts seeking top-tier specifications across every component.

At the core of the rifle is a 14.5” 416R stainless steel barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO, featuring a 1:7 twist rate and 5R rifling. This setup supports consistent accuracy, especially with heavier bullet weights, and is well-suited for long-range shooting applications.

What Sets the Alpha Apart

The MK114 Alpha is not a rebranded version of existing models—it’s a purpose-built platform that incorporates premium features typically found in custom builds. Several key differences elevate the Alpha above other rifles in the PWS lineup:

• Precision Barrel: The use of 416R stainless steel and 5R rifling in the 14.5” barrel offers enhanced corrosion resistance and accuracy, particularly with match-grade ammunition. This barrel is built for long-term durability and repeatable precision.

• Refined Gas System: PWS’s long-stroke piston system is a staple in their rifles, but the Alpha improves accessibility and control with a forward-mounted, tool-less 3-position gas adjustment knob. This makes tuning for suppressed or unsuppressed use faster and more efficient.

• Reinforced Handguard: A steel-reinforced M-LOK handguard with hardened screws and anti-rotation tabs provides additional strength, ideal for shooters who mount optics, lights, or pressure systems on their forends. The added rigidity reduces flex and improves long-term reliability under hard use.

• Match-Grade Trigger: A Geissele G2S two-stage trigger is included standard. Known for its clean break and predictable reset, it offers consistent trigger performance out of the box—without the need for aftermarket upgrades.

• Premium Controls: The rifle features a Radian Raptor charging handle and Radian Talon ambidextrous safety selector. These are widely recognized as some of the most intuitive and robust controls on the market, making the Alpha ready for serious use on either shoulder.

Ergonomics and Accessories

Standard furniture includes the Magpul MOE-SL stock and MOE grip, paired with a 30-round Magpul PMAG in Flat Dark Earth. These components offer reliable performance with modern ergonomics, contributing to a well-balanced shooting platform.

Distinctive Anodized Finish

A defining characteristic of the MK114 Alpha is its clear anodized finish. This treatment offers corrosion resistance while providing a distinctive aesthetic. Due to natural variances in the anodizing process, each rifle has a slightly different tone and texture, giving every unit a unique appearance. PWS notes that this finish is held to different aesthetic standards than traditional black anodizing or Cerakote applications.

Collector Appeal and Limited Availability

Each MK114 Alpha is individually serialized and comes with a custom Alpha sticker, highlighting its exclusivity as one of only 100 rifles being produced. With its refined components, distinctive finish, and limited production run, the Alpha is positioned as a true collector-grade firearm built for both performance and long-term value.

The MK114 Alpha carries an MSRP of $2,499 and is available only while supplies last. Once the 100 units are gone, there won’t be another run—making this a rare opportunity to own one of the most premium builds PWS has ever produced.
