CMMG Dissent - New bufferless AR uppers.

[Member 34319]

CMMG released a new upper today. It's bufferless and works with regular lowers. So far they have it in 556/300blk/5.7. The 5.7 being rdb. Im digging these companies coming out with even smaller and compact rifle-ish powerhouses. If they figure out how to use their 9mm Glock lower and something of this nature for an upper, I'm going to convert my SBRd banshee over to the bufferless version.

I was just looking at those. Evidently I need to start dealing crack in order to support my gun habit, just can't afford everything I want.

brownells has had something similar for a couple years now, check out Brn180

True, I'm happy to see these being produced more. I feel like it's the natural evolution of the AR15. The buffer tube is an outdated design, time to move forward and smaller!

I have a CMMG Banshee in .45ACP and have been impressed with the quality and usefulness of that firearm.

The bufferless design for 5.56 intrigues me as well. I might have to sell a body part or two in order to purchase one.

It's only 2 grand. They have to get their money back on ripping off the mcx somehow

If you're married and your wife ate the wedding cake, there's most likely one body part you can sell, since it probably doesn't get much use for which it was intended.

The Brownells BRN180 is bufferless and piston driven, and when they have them in stock, you can buy the upper for less than $900

It's definitely a contender, I think palmetto is also making one similar.

I'm definitely liking the direction things are going. This evolution of the rifle is nice to see.

Interesting. I have not gotten into the AR pistol stuff so far, but I have to wonder if this might be something that offers some sort of improvement to the carbine/standard versions of the AR.

Yes because everything else that is a derivative of the AR18 is a rip off of the MCX. Which is also a derivative of the AR18 gas system.

Meh. Fair enough.

It's debatable if it's an improvement. The old system is widely used by those with ARs. I'm along the lines of thought that this is the next direction the AR will evolve to. Using cartridges like 300blk and 5.7 in a tine sized PDW make so much sense to me personally. If I wanted a good amount of defensive options, something along the lines of this or similar would be ideal.

Meh, Rock River Arms have been doing this for about 20 years with versions of their LAR/PDS pistol,

and Foxtrot Mike has been knocking out their FM2 version for under $800 for a while.( That's the price for the entire firearm.)

uppers run about $500-$700 depending on spec

I did not know about foxtrot Mike. I've got two lowers of theirs.
