Description
Most AR pistols are short until you get to the back end, where a buffer tube adds several inches of dead length. CMMG solved that with the Dissent MK4. Their patent-pending Compact Action moves the entire recoil system into the upper receiver, doing away with the buffer and tube altogether. The result is a .300 Blackout AR pistol that measures just 14.7 inches overall with a 6.5 inch free-floated barrel, and it still runs like the AR you already know.
Why the Dissent MK4 Runs So Short
That missing buffer tube changes everything about how this gun carries and stores. The rear of the lower wears a 1913 Picatinny rail section, so you can mount the folding brace of your choice and keep the whole package incredibly tight. Up front, a non-reciprocating side charging handle swaps to either side, and the ambidextrous AR controls mean lefties get a fair shake too. The 5.5 inch M-LOK handguard gives you room for a light or hand stop without adding bulk.
Built for Subs, Supers, and Suppressors
The .300 Blackout chambering is the right call for a barrel this short, since the cartridge was designed to burn its powder in stubby tubes. The SLR adjustable gas block lets you dial the system in for supersonic loads, heavy subsonics, or a can hanging off the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle. A 1:7 twist stabilizes the full range of bullet weights, and CMMG tops the barrel with their Zeroed linear compensator to push blast forward instead of back at you. The Zeroed single stage trigger breaks clean, which matters when you are working a gun this small.
A Coyote Tan Cerakote Package That Holds Up
The 7075-T6 aluminum receivers wear a full Coyote Tan Cerakote finish that shrugs off scratches and weather while looking sharp doing it. Two 30-round magazines come in the box, the flat top is ready for the red dot of your choice, and CMMG backs the whole thing with their lifetime quality guarantee. For a truck gun, a bag gun, or a suppressor host that disappears into tight spaces, the Dissent MK4 is hard to top.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Dissent MK4 work without a buffer tube?
CMMG's patent-pending Compact Action houses the entire recoil system inside the upper receiver instead of running a buffer and spring back into a tube. That trims several inches off the overall length compared to a standard AR pistol. You still get familiar AR controls and handling, just in a much shorter package.
Is the CMMG Dissent MK4 a good suppressor host?
It is one of the better short suppressor hosts out there. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, and the SLR adjustable gas block lets you tune the gas system for subsonic loads running suppressed or turn it back up for supersonics. The 1:7 twist barrel stabilizes heavy subsonic bullets without issue.
Can I attach a brace to the Dissent MK4?
Yes. The rear of the lower receiver features a 1913 Picatinny rail section, so any brace with a 1913 interface bolts right on. Folding options pair especially well with this platform since the buffer-less design lets the gun fold down to a very small footprint.
Does the Dissent MK4 work for left-handed users?
It does. The safety and other AR controls are ambidextrous, and the forward non-reciprocating side charging handle can be swapped to either side of the receiver. It is one of the more lefty-friendly AR pistols on the market.
