The Mk3 offers the modular adaptability you’d expect from an AR.<\/p><\/div>\n

The AR-10 is nothing new. It is where the AR-15 and the whole American-made black rifle market began. The AR-10, chambered in .308, is a clear descendent of the heavy battle rifles that dominated early 20th century wars. The prevailing wisdom decided that soldiers needed heavy rounds that offered reliable stopping power at long ranges. These were considered opinions that wanted a rifle platformed that mirrored the abilities of the Garand and M-14. Yet they also knew that speed and capacity and modularity were important.<\/p>\n

At the other end of the table were those who wanted smaller, faster rounds, and more of them. These dudes eventually won the debate. But the AR-10 platform didn’t go away. The draw of the .308 is still strong, and the desire for the perfect delivery system has driven companies like CMMG to continue to develop the basic AR-10 premise. Their Mk3 is a big-ass .308 that delivers on the promise of the AR-10: the stopping power of a heavy round, the fighting versatility of a lighter, faster rifle.<\/p>\n

Those descriptions are relative. Most .308 bullets weigh three times what a .223 bullet weighs–sometimes more. From some bolt guns, the .308 is capable of reliable 1,000 yard accuracy–sometimes more. Yet that’s not the task of the Mk3. This is a battle rifle, not a sniper rifle. It is meant for engagements in that point-blank to 300 yard range, with the certain understanding that it could be called on for longer shots if needed. It is light enough to actually carry. Its capacity is limited only by the capacity of its magazine, which is easy to change. While it is more suited to a shooter with a robust frame, there is a place for the Mk3 along side an AR-15 and a bolt action with incredible range.<\/p>\n

The ported brake works well to hold the muzzle down, which makes follow up shots more reliably accurate.<\/p><\/div>\n
