PCW5.25 - Stock/Brace
$336.00 - $420.00
The DFA PCW (Personal Compact Weapon System) is our parallel-bar compact platform, built as a complement to the DFA SCW (Sub-Compact Weapon). Where the SCW uses offset guide bars to reduce length and produce a unique footprint, the PCW adopts parallel guide bars to provide a conventional PDW stance and feel while maintaining Dead Foot Arms’ standards for strength and reliability.
Why choose the PCW?
Parallel Guide Bar Geometry — Traditional PDW-style alignment for users who prefer familiar ergonomics and multi-platform compatibility including most AR10 firearms.
Compact Collapsible Architecture — Rapidly reduces overall length for storage and CQB maneuverability while preserving structural rigidity when extended.
DFA Build Quality — Precision-machined components, corrosion-resistant finishes, and high-load testing consistent with all DFA systems.
Compatibility & Integration — Designed to pair with all existing DFA kits. 2.5”, 4”, 5.25”, and AR10.
Use Case — Ideal for anyone seeking compact performance in a more conventional PDW configuration.
