First Look: CMMG DISSENT Br4 Rifles
CMMG has just announced the DISSENT Br4, a line of 47-state-compliant AR rifles that feature Remington 870-pattern stocks.
The AR-15 is America’s rifle, but some states unfortunately have restrictions that prevent or limit their ownership. In response, CMMG decided to create a rifle that they describe as “more ban-proof,” and the result is the DISSENT Br4 line. The Br4 is essentially a new lower receiver design that uses Remington 870-pattern stocks and is compatible with CMMG’s Mk4 DISSENT upper groups. These use the company’s Compact Action which eliminates the need for a buffer tube system and enables the use of 870 stocks, resulting in AR-style firearms that have ergonomics like traditional rifles and that can be sold in 47 states.
Dissent Br4 rifles feature reversible non-reciprocating side charging handles, reversible cross-bolt safeties, adjustable gas blocks, free-floated M-LOK handguards and ZEROED single-stage triggers. The mag release is also extended and ambidextrous, and the rifles are available in several Cerakote colors. The line is initially being launched with seven chambering options, including 5.56 NATO, .300 BLK, 9mm, .350 Legend, 6.5 Grendel, 6mm ARC and 22 ARC, but more calibers are expected to be released in the future. All caliber options are available with a 16.1-inch barrel, but some have a 14.5-inch pin-and-weld option as well. The standard 16.1-inch models also have threaded barrels and muzzle brakes, but the 9mm, .350 Legend, .300 BLK and 5.56 models are also available non-threaded for states where that isn’t allowed.
CMMG CEO Chris Reinkemeyer said this about the new rifles:
With the AR platform under constant attack, we knew there would be a time that we’d need a to do something for people to have a capable rifle behind the enemy lines of more restrictive states and municipalities. With this in mind, we started looking into designs for this many years ago. The introduction of our compact action in our DISSENT lineup made this possible since we no longer must stay within the confines of a buffer tube operated system. We hope the Br4 allows many doors to be opened for people that have had that door closed on them.
Each DISSENT Br4 rifle ships with a Magpul SGA stock and two 10-round magazines. All models share an MSRP of $1,899.99 and they’re available now.
