CMMG Mk3 Rifle in .308

This is the CMMG, Mk3, 308 rifle. Now, obviously this is an AR type rifle, set up in 308. And 308 isn't normally what we would think of for a personal defense rifle, But if you happen to live on a large piece of land, if you have a, maybe a barn, you have an apartment over the barn, your kids live in, You start thinking about larger spaces, maybe you have a long driveway, a gated entrance. If for some reason you felt the need to defend yourself or your family on a larger piece of land, in a more open space. Or if you work in a law enforcement or security position where you might need a higher power rifle than the medium calibers that we normally think of for personal offense.

Then the 308 may be perfect for you. If you're looking for a good 308, this 16 inch barreled CMMG, is a great place to start. It's got a billet receiver. It's got their RKM KeyMod 15 inch hand guard. Obviously that's a free float hand guard.

It comes standard with their SV break and a Geissele 2 stage trigger, the SSA trigger. It also comes with a MOE pistol grip and the ACS-L buttstock. And that's a six position, on a Mil-Spec extension, six position stock. Now, obviously this isn't exactly how it comes from the factory, from CMMG because I've added in a Browe combat optic, the BCO. I've got one of the, Radian's ambidextrous oversized charging handles.

I think an oversize charging handle is, is especially important when you're moving the heavier bolt carrier group on a 308. And obviously anytime we have a larger optic back here, we want to make sure we get that oversize charging handle so we can get a good positive interaction with it whenever we're doing our reloads, malfunction clearing, or even just locking the rifle open, as we've done here, to make sure that it is empty and we can see that at any time. I've also added a sling. Now this particular sling is a convertible one. This is a single point to two point sling.

This is again, from Magpul. And I prefer that type of sling on all my home defense guns, especially set up in the single point for someone who is going to be using this on a larger platform. Somebody, somebody's going to be using this in a more open space, that large perimeter defense or that again, patrol rifle, maybe a designated marksman type rifle inside of a law enforcement or security application. They may want to go with a dedicated two point sling, something that's going to be better for moving the rifle around, to get into and out of positions, moving around on your, your ATV, your four-wheeler, walking around on your property, whatever it may be. One of the nice things about the 308 AR's of course, is that they're great for hunting.

And that means that you're going to be able to practice your skillset in a very varied and versatile environment. So you're gonna be able to take this out to the range, get, get your zero, get yourself doped in. You know exactly what you're going to be doing at different ranges. Then go out in the field, and whether you're stalk hunting, you're sitting in a tree stand, maybe you're hog hunting from a lot of different positions in a very dynamic environment, and that's going to allow you to practice applying your defensive shooting skills in a caliber, that's going to drop whatever game you want it to drop in North America. The 308 round is one of my favorite rounds to hunt with.

And again, while it's not exactly what we think of for personal defense or the average patrol rifle, there may be some specialty applications where the CMMG, Mk3 308 is perfect for you.
