CMMG Dissent

I’m trying to envision the potential opportunities as a rifle. Folding stock comes to mind and maybe some more stock options.

Everyone always goes back to the AR-18 :-D
Even without using bent sheet metal or the like.

Interesting that they are doing this with the proposed rule change going into effect in a few months, IIRC. Looks interesting indeed.

Bolt, carrier, and recoil spring/guide rod assemblies look a lot like a Sig MPX. Will be nice to have some more gas-operated PDW-size guns, although man, I wish there was an inexpensive caliber optimized for those barrel lengths.

If you don't make a provision for a stock at all, then the brace/stock antics have no effect.

Dude, they will totally take your money, now!


The price is pretty steep.

I’ll take two. One green, the other grey.
They grey one in 300.

Have they actually done anything since comments ended? I certainly have not seen any answers so far.
why are you assuming anything will change???

That's a rather old idea, Daewoo did it long time ago, and I've wondered why more mfg haven't done it since.

I once had a K1A1 Daewoo, collapsible stock, side charger, gas operated .223 carbine. It used a piston to operate the bolt, with two recoil springs side-by-side above the BCG. Super nice rifle, I wish I still had it. This isn't mine, but mine was identical to it: It used AR magazines and fire control group.

Well, the description of the thing says it has a Picatinny rail on the back for brace attachment, which I read before I posted that. Perhaps the day the Rule comes out they will switch to offering it with a sold rear with only an attachment for a single point sling. I actually used my Scorpion with a single point sling for a short time, wasn't TOO inaccurate, certainly wasn't great.

Sounds interesting in 5.7. A bit too short for 5.56.

As for the price, have you fueled your car recently, or shopped for food? Get real, $2k today is $1k in 2019.

I clean missed that, thanks for the clarification.

300 Blk isn't a very interesting cartridge for me personally. I am chomping at the bit to see how the PSA Jakl distributes.

To my knowledge, there has been no update from ATF since the comment period ended. Did we miss something?
