Design and key features

This Bravo-compatible unit ships with three 25-round magazines, giving you immediate capacity for drills and extended dry- and live-fire sessions without frequent reloads. The conversion maintains AR ergonomics and uses the existing bolt carrier group swap method, which is both user-friendly and reversible.

Magazine and feeding considerations

The supplied 25rd magazines are optimized for rimfire feeding in AR platforms. Their capacity and geometry are tuned for consistent lock-back behavior and acceptable reload cadence during practice. Keep the three mags handy for range rotations and drills.

Ammunition and hammer guidance

Performance notes from bench testing: a round-style hammer is recommended—notched hammers can cause function issues. For ammunition, 36-grain plated nose bullets have proven the best choice for reliable cycling and accuracy in this conversion. Sticking to these recommendations will minimize malfunctions and extend training time.

Brand context: Cmmg is recognized for practical conversion kits and Bravo-pattern components; this unit fits that role by offering a straightforward, dependable solution for rimfire training on standard AR rifles.
