I'm thinking about picking one of these up. Anyone know anything about them? I know CDNN purchases closeouts, often of guns that weren't wildly successful, so I try and do some research before buying it's it s a non-standard weapon. I have an Armalite AR-10, and like the fact that these can use more available DPMS/SR-25 pattern mags, as well as cheap PMAGs. Thinking about swapping my super heavy 20" DD-railed AR-10 for one of these to be a little more lighter and use more available mags. Any thoughts on pros/cons of this?
I know CMMG is a decent company, i'm more interested in the quality of those included rails than anything, if they are cheapos or decent? Sorry for the extended pic, i couldn't link the single page 
Here is my AR-10 I am thinking about selling to pick up the CMMG for.

They look good on paper. I would like to get my hands on one at the range and see how they shoot.

The MK-3 may be a step back. With the new pricing on ArmaLite Gen II mags there is not much difference in price anymore, unless you are buying hundreds of mags. I have a 21" Noveske and want to add a 16" 7.62 Carbine, would like to stay magazine compatible but it's not a deal breaker. MK-3 looks sweet. |

Is it forged or billet; what alloy?
What gas system? Is the barrel nut (or any other part, FTM) proprietary? What height receiver is it, what rails other than CMMG will mount up flush? Will it work with aftermarket FCGs (unconfirmed rumor is geissele dont work)? What pattern is the barrel extension/bolt? Is the receiver extension milspec or commercial? |

I have yet to see any cheap AR-10 mags, although I may not be looking in the right place. I was looking at this because it would be lighter and more handy than my Armalite. I don't take it shooting often because of how big it is. |

What are you basing this statement on? Best I can find AR10 mags are $26-$30; PMAGs are $18.

I have bought (4) 20's on the EE in the last month for $25 each shipping included. And I have (3) 25 rounders coming for $30 each and (1) 20 for $20 including shipping on the EE. Sent the MO yesterday. You have to keep an eye out. On the CMMG's, they look like really nice rifles. I have already made my investment in Armalite. If I hadn't I might be seriously looking at these. |

This mag price bs is old news. Yes, ArmaLite mags cost 6-8 bucks more than Pmags and less than KAC or LMT. What a oem DPMS cost?
From what I have read the MK-3 is forged 7075, has a tall top rail. I would like to know how they are keeping the price so low. Almost to good to be true and that scares me. |

Other then handrail every thing else seams first rate. I got to say I like my Rock River lar-8 better because I have it set up just the way I wanted it and in time I will set the CMMG to suit me too.

Ok, I guess i'm a big dummy for not knowing about the mag price changes. The Armalite has sat in my safe for quite some time and I haven't bought a new mag for it since around 2006, mainly because i've been deployed for about 30 months since then. I'm glad I have a bunch of fine gentlemen here to kindly set me straight.

Second if you do pick one of these CMMG .308's up then please let us know what you think of it, your AR-10 looks pretty sweet too though.... I have been researching the CMMG's and am considering picking one up when my budget allows. Again thank you and have a great new year!!! ILB |

Things like "ar10 mags are $50 and pmags are $10" You shouldn't have any trouble finding someone in the AR10 section to split a ten pack of mags with you, even less money  I sold most of my 25 rounders, to tall for the bench or prone and the extra weight sucked. 20 rounders work great for just about all uses.

I've got both the Ar 10 Armalite and the CMMG is first rate. Both are Quality built guns and everything now days takes a different nag so I don't care. The CMMG shoots as good as it looks.
