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.

Keeping Your Gun Running

"If you’re new to an AR platform, here’s the best advice I can give when it comes to cleaning and lube: Run your bolts wet.  You obviously want to keep it clean.  Should you clean after every range session?  Yes.  Is it the end of the world if you don’t?  No.   A well-built rifle like the TYPE-A's can take abuse and run dirty.  They just perform better, and last longer, the more you clean them.  In order to keep them cycling with all sort of different ammo requires good lubrication. The areas to focus on are the bolt and carrier.  As you’re reassembling, give the bolt a healthy dose of lube as well as the carrier.  Not to the point of dripping off, but just shy of.  Understand the less viscous the lube, the quicker it will burn off and dry out. Using something a little thicker will last longer in your gun.  I’ve known guys who used motor oil. These guns aren’t picky as long as you keep them wet."
