If you’re not familiar with CMMG, or you are, but never quite understood what the different names or models mean, we’ve got you covered! Our Sub-brands are a quick and easy way to choose what size firearm you’re looking at. While it may seem confusing, it actually quite simple.
What is a BANSHEE? A BANSHEE is our traditional buffer operated firearms with barrel lengths less than 16”. This would essentially be traditional AR pistols and SBRs (short barrel rifles).
What is a RESOLUTE? A RESOLUTE is our traditional buffer operated firearm with a 16” barrel. When you think of a traditional AR, for us, that’s a RESOLUTE.
What is an ENDEAVOR? An ENDEAVOR is our traditional buffer operated firearm with barrel lengths greater than 16”. This would be more of your long range or DMR style firearms.
What is a DISSENT? A DISSENT is a combination of the above, but they utilize our new patented Compact Action operating system. DISSENTs are available from pistols to full length rifles and are easily recognized by their lack of buffer tube and front side charger.
Our platform names are our way of differentiating the different types of AR platforms that we offer, with the biggest differentiators being the magazine they accept, which then dictates what calibers they are offered in.
Choosing the right platform is a complicated thing for some people. It really comes down to what caliber you are looking for, and then what magazines make the most sense for you. To get more information on each of the different platforms, Click the corresponding button below.
