And the pre-SHOT shower of press releases rolls on. Next up: A new .308/7.62 carbine from CMMG. Geissele trigger, Magpul stock and grip and rail space from here to Manitoba. Make the jump for the obligatory press release . . .
Fayette, MO—The Mk3 CBR (Carbine Battle Rifle) is chambered in .308 WIN/7.62x51mm NATO and is precision-built to deliver the relentless functionality that CMMG rifles are known for. The Mk3 CBR is an ideal rifle for long-range shooting or close-quarters action and because it’s built with CMMG’s premium manufacturing requirements, it gives shooters the chance to own a high-end AR rifle at a practical price.
The Mk3 CBR features the free float RKM15 KeyMod hand guard that measures 15 inches in length to accommodate a wide range of hand positions and allows users to attach an assortment of different accessories. The KeyMod slots are located at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions with a 1913 Picatinny rail on top to give the hand guard an array of mounting options.
The KeyMod system is the new industry standard for mounting accessories. It is a simple, comfortable and lightweight solution that offers users a low profile mounting alternative to the M1913 Picatinny rail. The KeyMod system presents a new level of customization, as it allows the direct attachment of compatible accessories without the use of intermediate M1913 Picatinny rails. For accessories that are not yet KeyMod compatible, users can purchase a separate CMMG 5-slot Picatinny adapter rail that can be easily attached to any of the KeyMod slots for optimal placement of the accessories.
The Mk3 CBR rifle is constructed with a hard anodized, billet 6061-T6 aluminum receiver. A 416 stainless barrel was selected and features a nitride finish that provides the barrel with long lasting accuracy and corrosion resistance. CMMG’s medium taper (MT) barrel is the perfect balance between weight and rigidity. The rifle also includes a CMMG SV muzzle brake, designed to reduce recoil and increase muzzle control for quick and manageable follow-up shots.
By partnering with other industry leaders, the Mk3 CBR has some of the best components available to complete the rifle. Some of these parts include a Geissele Automatics SSA® 2-stage trigger, a Magpul ACS-L™ collapsible butt stock and Magpul MOE® pistol grip. The rifle also comes with a Magpul 20 LR PMAG® with a 20 round capacity. The combination of all of these features creates one of the most capable and affordable .308 WIN rifles available.

Why would I buy this over a M1A, FAL, SCAR , SIG-716 or the whole host of other guns in 7.62 at around the same price point?
I am underwhelmed here
Aircraft/Owl airspace deconfliction using radar? I’m guessing, um, no…
I’ve been on a plane climbing out of Toronto that lost an engine to a bird strike. Fuck the birds.
Yep. Buds already has them. $1700 or so.

If “Team Buds” doesnt ship you a used one as new. Google “buds gunshop sucks.”
Not bad, waiting for KelTec to make a 308 in the 1K price range.
Friends don’t let friends buy Kel-Tec.
Heh. Not to mention it would be one. Just one (1).
There is no goddamned jump.
Shooting them actually does not work, you need to root out the nests and use an eagle or something to shoo them away, stop them coming back.
As an aside, owls are really stupid creatures.
Admittedly, I am no expert on bird strikes. But as a retired attorney, I am an expert on bullsh1t, and Christine Sheppard is full of it. Or maybe it’s birdsh1t.
Carbine Battle Rifle? Do not the first and third words of that clumsy description contradict each other? Who will I go into “battle” against with such a carbine rifle? Who is the marketing numbnuts who came up with this misnomer? And why am I asking all these questions?
Katniss is like Chuck Norris… she don’t need no guns.
I own both a Taurus pistol and a Rossi revolver. “Reliable” is not among the first thousand adjectives I would use to describe either one. Taurus magazine availability is hit or miss, too. Mostly miss. Maybe the carbine is different in all counts, but I wouldn’t ever take take the chance, especially at more than range toy prices.
I wonder if there is a Bullsh!t Caller? We can sound those off everytime Feinstien/Bloomberg open their dang mouth…
What happened to that NIH study that President Obama ordered as part of his “executive orders” following Sandy Hook? The study is complete. The results are published.
Why isn’t Obama or Biden on their podiums preaching about how bad guns are quoting the results of the research they ordered to be done (even though the NIH already did the study, we, the tax-payers, had to fund another one).
Oh thats right because the results didn’t show what they wanted. Guns are used more often to defend people than commit homicide. Nothing to see here, move along…. MSNBC why don’t you show clips of Miley twerking some more….
