The PWS UXR Elite delivers precision shooting performance with its 223 Wylde chamber and advanced piston-driven system. This rifle combines Primary Weapons Systems' proven long-stroke piston technology with enhanced ergonomics for superior reliability in demanding conditions.
What Makes This Different
The UXR Elite features a proprietary long-stroke piston system that runs significantly cooler and cleaner than direct impingement alternatives. The 223 Wylde chamber specification allows shooters to fire both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition while maintaining match-grade accuracy potential. PWS engineers optimized the gas system timing to reduce bolt carrier velocity and extend component life beyond standard AR-15 platforms.
Key Features
- Long-stroke piston operating system eliminates gas blowback and reduces fouling
- 223 Wylde chamber accepts both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO ammunition
- 14.5-inch chrome-lined barrel with 1:8 twist rate for versatile bullet weights
- Modular rail system with M-LOK attachment points at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions
- Adjustable gas block with suppressor-ready settings
- Enhanced bolt carrier group with proprietary coating for extended wear resistance
- Ambidextrous controls including safety selector and magazine release
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy with match ammunition and reliable cycling across temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F. The piston system maintains zero shift during rapid-fire sequences and requires 75% less cleaning than comparable direct impingement rifles. Law enforcement agencies report over 10,000 rounds between cleaning intervals without reliability issues.
