A new series of AR pistols and short-barreled rifles hit CMMG’s firearm lineup, offering consumers compact fun chambered in FN 5.7x28mm.
Sporting a 5-inch barreled BANSHEE model and 8-inch barreled PSB configurations, the new series falls under the Mk57 GUARD lineup. The Mk57 BANSHEE features a 5-inch barrel in either SBR or AR pistol configurations. The SBR variant ships with a Magpul MOE vertical foregrip paired with CMMG’s RipStock.
