Description
The .300 Blackout cartridge was built from the ground up to run in compact AR platforms, and the Banshee MK4 gives it a proper home. CMMG fitted this one with a 12.5 inch medium taper barrel in 4140 chrome moly steel, treated with a salt bath nitride finish that shrugs off wear and corrosion. The 1:7 twist stabilizes everything from light supersonic loads to heavy 220 grain subsonics, and the pistol-length gas system keeps it cycling reliably across the board. The muzzle wears CMMG's ZEROED linear compensator on 5/8×24 threads, which pushes blast forward and away from you. Spin it off and you have a ready platform for a suppressor, which is exactly where this cartridge shines.
ZEROED Parts Come Standard on the Banshee MK4
Rather than shipping a bare bones gun you upgrade later, CMMG loads the Banshee with its ZEROED component line from the factory. That means a drop-in single stage trigger, an ambidextrous safety selector with a choice of 60 or 90 degree throw, ambi charging handle, ambi mag catch with an extended release button, plus the ZEROED pistol grip and polymer dust cover. The billet 6061 upper and forged 7075 lower wear a Tungsten gray Cerakote finish that looks sharp and holds up to real use. Out back, the six position receiver extension carries CMMG's RipBrace, which deploys to your preset length with one quick pull.
Room to Build on the MK4 Platform
The 7 inch EML handguard runs full length M-LOK slots along both sides and the bottom, with additional M-LOK real estate between the top Picatinny sections, so lights, lasers, and hand stops all have a place to live. And since the Banshee is built on CMMG's MK4 AR-15 platform, swapping triggers, grips, or other parts down the road is as simple as it gets.
A 30-round Magpul PMAG comes in the box, and CMMG backs the whole package with a lifetime quality guarantee. For a truck gun, home defense setup, or dedicated suppressor host, this one checks a lot of boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CMMG Banshee MK4 a good suppressor host?
It really is, and that's a big part of why this configuration exists. The .300 Blackout cartridge was designed to run quietly with heavy subsonic loads, and the pistol-length gas system is tuned to cycle them reliably. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, so removing the linear compensator and mounting a can is straightforward.
Does the Banshee MK4 come with sights or an optic?
No, it ships without iron sights or an optic. The full-length top Picatinny rail gives you plenty of room to mount a red dot, LPVO, or backup irons of your choosing. Most owners run a compact red dot on a gun this size.
Can the Banshee MK4 shoot both supersonic and subsonic .300 Blackout ammo?
Yes. The 1:7 twist barrel stabilizes light supersonic loads and heavy 200 to 220 grain subsonic bullets alike, and the pistol gas system is set up to cycle both. As with any .300 Blackout gun, it pays to test your preferred subsonic load, especially unsuppressed, but this platform has a solid reputation for running a wide range of ammo.
What brace comes on this Banshee MK4?
It wears CMMG's RipBrace on a six position receiver extension. The RipBrace is spring loaded, so a single firm pull extends it straight to your preset length instead of clicking through each position. It makes getting the gun into action quick and repeatable.
