The REC7 PDW comes in 5.56 NATO or the 6.8 SPC cartridge, and it is  available with either a mil-spec single-stage trigger or select-fire  trigger group (agency\/export only).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>The REC7 PDW offers all the refinements of its full-size  counterpart, such as the 9310 steel Barrett Enhanced Piston Bolt, which  is proofed and magnetic-particle tested to ensure reliable performance.  The anti-tilt bolt carrier with integral piston strike face is machined  from 8620 steel. The gas block is chrome\u2013lined, forward venting and has a  fluted gas piston cylinder. This increases reliability by eliminating  carbon buildup. Forward venting also keeps the operator&#8217;s hands clear of  hot gasses.<\/p>\n<p>REC7\u2019s  piston is made of 17-4 stainless steel and is the strongest on the  market. The piston is easily accessed for cleaning without needing to  remove the rail system. This enables optical sights or laser devices to  maintain their zero after routine maintenance. The Barrett PDW piston  system eliminates issues experienced by ultra-short rifles, increasing  reliability with or without a suppressor. Designed for suppressed  operations, the PDW has a two-position (suppressed\/unsuppressed) nitride  finished gas plug, which is easily manipulated with gloves. The REC7  PDW\u2019s upper supports a free-floated, hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel  that is proofed and magnetic particle tested for quality assurance. <a href=\"http:\/\/barrett.net\/firearms\/rec7\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more about the REC7 here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Barrett  is a family-owned and operated company specializing in high performance  rifle systems and accessories.
