Specifically designed for US Special Operations, the Personal Defense Weapon or PDW is a compact, lightweight, rifle that excels at close to mid-range engagements. Both the upper and lower receiver are skeletonized to reduce excess weight without compromising the rifle’s integrity. The PDW is equipped with the Select Adjustable Gas Block, which has 30 different settings for rapidly transitioning between suppressed and un-suppressed shooting, changing ammunition types, and consistently shoot in dirty conditions. Other features of the PDW include the Seekins Precision NEST flash hider, which swirls the hot gasses exiting the barrel immediately to eliminate the visible flash. The NEST flash hider utilizes Melonited steel, so carbon fouling won’t adhere to it for easier cleaning. In addition, the PDW is outfitted with an Odin Works Close Quarters Stock, that can be rapidly deployed thanks to its spring loaded system and offers 5 selectable stock lengths.
