It allows users to switch between calibers like 5.56 NATO, .308 Winchester, and .300 Blackout by changing the bolt head, magazine well, and barrel. The rifle features traditional AR-15 compatibility for grips and triggers, ambidextrous controls, a side-charging non-reciprocating handle, and a unique bore evacuator system for reduced gas blowback. PWS claims a return to zero within half an MOA after barrel changes due to their barrel mounting system.
