[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Updated 02-24-15: Purchase Used PWS MK216?

Posted: 2/22/2015 10:13:25 PM EDT

Hi,
I am looking at possibly purchasing one of these and I am not familiar with this model. Is it discontinued and would you suggest investing in this model? Any feedback you could provide would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Why do you think it is discontinued. You just have to look a their website.

Could you please tell me what I am missing? Cannot find what you are alluding to. Thank you.

Yes, I see that but was there an earlier version of this rifle that is no longer produced?

Why don't you post a picture or information on what you're buying....

The seller states the rail system is a Mod 0 and no longer in production?

OP is talking about the ones that came with the quad-rail.

I think the main difference is the Mod1 uses an adjustable gas system. Most obvious aesthetic difference is Mod1 also uses a keymod handguard.

Mod 0 doesn't have the adjustable gas block and has a quad rail instead of the keymod, at least that's the way my mod 0 MK116 is.

Thanks for all the feedback guys and I apologize that the info was trickling in. I have since decided to look elsewhere and found a used MK216 that I am interested in. I have not seen the 216 yet but I am told it is like new. What would the going rate for one of these used be in stock form with case and are there any issues I should look for or serial number ranges to stay away from?

Thank you.
