CMMG starts every project with one of the most popular AR-15 calibers in mind, the 5.56. The Br4, was no different and was designed for Americans residing in states with restrictions a lot of us can't comprehend or relate to. Now introducing the Br4 with an all-new EMPIRE profile unthreaded barrel and a recessed barrel crown. As if this new Br4 platform wasn't good enough, CMMG found low hanging fruit for states that don't allow threaded barrels. Like the entire Br4 lineup, this upper group compliments the firearm nicely and a lower group that accepts 5.56 AR mags.The 16.1" firearm ships with (2) 10rd Magpul PMags, Remington 870 stock compatible, cross-bolt safety, forward non-reciprocating side charger, a proprietary Zeroed single stage trigger and your choice of (7) colors.

The 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge was designed by James Sullivan, a member of Eugene Stoner's engineering team that developed both the M16 rifle and its original cartridge. The 5.56X45mm NATO was adopted by the U.S. military in 1964 and by NATO in 1980. With bullet diameter of .224-inch, the original M193 military cartridge used a 55-grain bullet at 3250 fps; the current M855A1 cartridge, developed by FN, uses a 62.5-grain bullet at 3020 fps, offering greater range and better penetration. The civilian version of the 5.56X45mm is 223 Remington; the cartridges are dimensionally identical but military chamber dimensions and specifications for military brass are different. It is considered safe to use 223 Remington ammo in a 5.56X45MM NATO chamber, but not a good idea to use 5.56X45mm ammo in a rifle specifically chambered for the 223 Remington. Although the stopping power of .22-caliber bullets remains controversial the 5.56X45mm has served well in now multiple generations of M16 rifles. — Craig Boddington
