Colonial Armament has introduced the MK-180 Scout .300Blk PDW rifle, inspired by the 1960s AR-180. This model features a self-contained recoil system for compatibility with folding stocks and easier maintenance. Key components include a 7075-T6 aluminum receiver, an ultra-reliable piston system, and an easily removable free-float MLOK handguard, enhancing usability.
Inspired by the Armalite® AR-180 of the 1960s. The Scout MK-180 PDW edition shares a large chunk of components with the BRN-180® piston system but introduces key features to improve reliability and usability in a short configuration.
With an entirely self-contained recoil system, the Scout MK-180 PDW rifle deos not require a buffer tube. This allows for easy compatibility with folding stocks and rear picatinny adapters. Recoil guide rods and buffer easily remove from the rear when removing the upper receiver from the lower. Bolt and carrier easily slide out when removing the charging handle at the rear. Large ejection port allows for ease of access for cleaning.
Free float MLOK handguard is free floated, and can easily be removed with one large screw located on the bottom of the receiver. This screw engages the rear of the barrel, pulling the handguard tight up against the receiver. Easily removed handguard allows for quick access to the gas system.
