The PWA Commando is an AR-pattern rifle from around the 1980s, serial 0004583, chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 20-inch chrome-lined barrel. It keeps the classic layout, fixed stock and carrying-handle upper, and that upper is a U.S. GI part. The supplier describes it as a pre-ban rifle. Bore condition is excellent, the finish and fixed stock are very good, and the rifle grades very good overall.

For a Texas shooter who wants the full-length rifle experience instead of a short carbine, the 20-inch barrel and fixed stock give a steady hold from the bench or prone. It also qualifies for deer under Texas rules, which allow any legal firearm and bar only rimfire ammunition; the North Zone general season covering Bexar County and the Hill Country runs November 7, 2026 to January 3, 2027, with bag limits and antler rules set county by county in the Outdoor Annual. Most owners will treat it as a range rifle with some collector interest in the GI upper.
