The CMMG Dissent MK4 transforms the proven AR-15 platform to reliably cycle 7.62x39 ammunition through innovative engineering and precision manufacturing. This 14.3-inch pinned and welded configuration delivers rifle-length performance in a compact package while maintaining legal compliance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard AR-15s that struggle with steel-cased ammunition, the Dissent MK4 features CMMG's radial delayed blowback system specifically engineered for the 7.62x39 cartridge. The system eliminates the gas system entirely, reducing fouling and maintenance requirements compared to direct impingement designs. This approach provides consistent cycling across various ammunition weights and manufacturers, from budget steel-case to premium brass loads.
