This MK2-12.5 Short Stroke Piston Rifle is chambered in 5.56 NATO.
Built on a 12.5" light weight contour 416R stainless steel barrel with a 1/2x28 thread pitch.
The MK2-12.5 runs a patented "Bleed Off" gas piston system. Built gas pressure within the block is reduced only to the amount required to drive/cycle the carrier. All remaining gas is bled out of the block allowing the system to run cleaner and noticeably cooler. This will reduce your weapons recoil and eliminate blow back while running suppressed. This block is fully adjustable up to 30 positions allowing you to fine tune your system unlike most systems which only allows 3-4 positions.
The carrier is coated in Titanium Nitride while the bolt is coated in Nitride. Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating is a wear resistant, inert, and reduces friction. Titanium Nitride also reduces galling between sliding components and improves overall life.
This pistol comes equipped with a Law Tactical GEN3 Folder. While the Folder does add cost, it gives you the ability to reduce the overall length while concealing during transportation.
Our pistols run a fully adjustable 45/90 degree short throw safety selector and an extended magazine release to give you that perfect feel. Our charging handle is fully Ambi giving you complete control from either side.
This rifle runs our TYPE-A PMC Two-Stage Trigger. Constructed from pre-hardened 4140 this trigger is coated in Nickel Teflon to fight against friction and to ensure lubricity. The PMC Two-Stage Trigger ships at 1 1/2 reset to 3 1/2 trigger pull.

Training – Using a Timer

"Whether you plan to compete or not, incorporating a time into your training can have a huge impact.  The first and most obvious benefit to using a timer is establishing your limits and a way to measure success.  The focus of any good training program should be steady, measurable, consistent results.  Start with the basics.  Hold your rifle at the low ready, lift and fire 1 round on an index card at 25 yards for time.  From there, add multiple targets for time. T hen incorporate reloads in between targets and movement.  You can design just about any timed drill you want.  Just be sure to log your training and focus on relevant drills that allow you to improve.  Another way a timer helps your training is by initiating a stress response and time compression.  You’d be surprised how quickly your skills can turn to crap when that stupid beeper goes off.  Just talk to a shooter who’s spent any amount of time competing and I’m sure they have stories of blacking out and abandoning stage plans all because of a little beep.  The more you induce stressors in your training, the more inoculated you become.  This allows you to better access your skills when it counts."
