When you need a compact, high-performance platform that blends AR ergonomics with big-bore terminal performance, the Dissent Mk4 answers a specific set of tactical and hunting demands. This pistol-configured rifle is built around a compact action that removes constraints of a traditional buffer tube while keeping familiar AR controls and accessory compatibility.

CMMG DISSENT MK4 [AB]

Key features and platform details

The DISSENT MK4 is centered on CMMG’s patented Compact Action system, enabling reliable direct impingement operation without a buffer tube assembly. That bufferless receiver design makes the platform ideal for folding stocks and modern pistol braces and removes many length-of-pull constraints inherent to traditional ARs. The receiver includes a 1913 Picatinny adapter to mount aftermarket pistol braces. This model ships in a pistol configuration with a 10.5-inch barrel, Armor Black Cerakote finish, and one 10-round magazine at a retail price of $1,635.99.

Controls and ergonomics

The Dissent’s forward side-charging handle sits ahead of the action for easier manipulation when using modern shooting stances or mounted optics. It’s non-reciprocating for safety and can be reversed for left-handed shooters. The M-LOK handguard gives ample modularity for lights, bipods, and grips while the included Z-series linear compensator tames recoil and flash signature compared to a standard muzzle device.

Why .338 ARC in a compact AR platform

.338 ARC brings substantially more energy downrange than smaller intermediate cartridges while retaining sub/supersonic versatility similar to .300 BLK. For users who want better terminal performance and simpler gas-system behavior when switching between suppressed and unsuppressed use, .338 ARC reduces the need for extensive tuning. The DISSENT MK4 pairs that cartridge with a short 10.5″ barrel to deliver a portable, high-impact solution suited to close- to mid-range work.

Shooting applications and practical notes

This pistol-configured DISSENT is well suited for hunters and tactical users who need a compact, high-energy package that accepts pistol braces and folding solutions. The included 10-round magazine and Picatinny brace adapter keep the system flexible for legal carry and transport considerations.
