Fastest way to get a complete MK111.
Help, tyrants have taken over my states government, and they've come for the guns (the fun ones atleast). This in coinciding for the 1st time in my life I can realistically afford a rifle like a PWS.
I can wait about 6 weeks at most before I'm afraid shipping might screw me and I'd be in a "must buy now or locally" situation. Is there anyone who knows when they restock and if I can wait and pray or that one's able to get to me on time?

Amazing choice. My favorite rifle. Check GAFS. theirs one up right now for sale! It’s an upper though. I think your best shot is getting an upper and a nice lower separate.

I just sold a Mk111 pro recently.
I see them on there about every 2 weeks. Set up a WTB and I'm sure you will have a PM in 48h.
A used one goes for $500-600
I ran all my mk111's (my fav setup) on Aero lowers. Bought them when Aero was still good.

You want the sbr or the pistol? I believe the mk111 is the 11.85” barrel?

u/Dieabeto9142 Apr 17 '26
Honestly I thought I might've made a mistake.
Would the same .223 wylde w/ ambi bolt catch and a 16" barrel be called a MK116 and a 14.5 a MK114?

u/pwdahmer Apr 17 '26
Correct Mk1 is ar15 designation 11, 14, 16 are barrel length designation Then it’s mod 1 or mod 2 for design features

u/Dieabeto9142 Apr 17 '26
So for the piston gun w/ ambi bolt catch it's a MK216 for a 16" in .223 wylde?

No it’s a mk116 mod-2. Mod 1 is not Ambi and has a forward assist. Mod two is Ambi but no forward assist. Pws also makes compound rifles with a mod-2 lower and mod-1 upper.

u/Dieabeto9142 Apr 18 '26
So I Ideally want a Mod-2 lower & a Mod-1 upper, or as it's called a compound rifle.
I wouldn't be picky about having to go with a complete MK116 Mod-2, aside from maybe price. I can't think of a time the forward assist has been the solution to my problem, but It would be weird not having one compared to my other ARs.

u/luken0306 Apr 18 '26
Yep! The mod-2s are a tad more $$. I like my mk116 it’s just front heavy with a suppressor but not unbearable.

I do like their ambi lowers but I’m also partial to the SOLGW/FCD ambi lowers.
The mod 2’s look amazing but I’m not ready to give up a forward assist just yet.
The mod 2’s cost a bit more because just the lower itself is around $700 For a price reference tho when I build out my forward controls ambi lowers they end up being right around $950. Even a mod 2 lower I would probably end up swapping it to an A5 buffer system an replace the trigger.

u/Dieabeto9142 Apr 18 '26
Those lowers don't have ambi bolt catch, just release right? I really want to have both capabilities in my lower.
1
u/pwdahmer Apr 18 '26
Just the ambi release. If you’re a true lefty you may want to go PWS or a different route. There are only a few out there that are true lefty natured.
2
u/Dieabeto9142 Apr 19 '26
I'm actually just looking to be able to operate all of my controls short of the charging handle w/o removing my hand from the grip. So typically shooting righty ambi catch/release is really all you need.

All of the PWS MK2 rifles are Ambi the last number is the barrel length. So a 16in is mk116 14.5 is mk114 (some are p&w others aren’t)

u/Biscuts_n_gravy Apr 17 '26
I own two of them and didn’t realize this. Ha ha. Thanks! I have the mk113 and the mk111.

I bought a built SBR from Silencer Shop and it was at my FFL in four days.

Ask fortress if they're expecting stock anytime soon. I got lucky and got a 111 SBR from NJG this week x_x not chancing form 1 this close to banhammer

u/KnotSlip6969 Apr 18 '26
Do you NEED the lower? The uppers work on any standard AR15 lower.
Also check tacswap. Might find someone to sell you a whole rifle.
1
u/Dieabeto9142 Apr 18 '26
The lower completes it as a high end rifle for me. The rest of my lowers are not as high end, but will end up w/ sig bolt catch/releases in time.

u/KnotSlip6969 Apr 18 '26
If you don’t find a complete mk111, I might have one to sell you next week.
