I have allways liked the look with the 5.5 inch flash hider. I thought I read here that if the PWA lowers marked Commando left the factory as a complete rifle. I think my 20" postban and my m4 have been talking about a threesome. Who am i to complain with them? |
| PWA never built or sold complete rifles. They were mainly an AR parts house but you could purchase a "kit" that contained no barrel. It was some sort of way to beat paying excise taxes. They have been out of business for about 5+ years now. Too bad, they made a really nice receiver. |

I have a pre-ban PWA "Commando" lower. To the best of my knowledge PWA never made assembled rifles. Interestingly enough, when I bought my AR it was assembled in the Vietnam-era "Commando" configuration. I wondered about this (just like you) for some time. My SHTF franken-carbine is the PWA lower and a Bushmaster superlight A3 upper. The fit between the two is outstanding and although I have less than 2000 rounds through the new settup so far there's been no relaibility issues. I love my PWA lower. |
