Overview
The CMMG Resolute MK3 is chambered in 8.6 Blackout, a cartridge engineered for substantial terminal performance from a compact carbine platform. An aggressive 1:3 twist rate effectively stabilizes heavy projectiles, leveraging the 16.1-inch barrel’s ballistic potential. This configuration is particularly effective for suppressed applications, specifically optimizing performance with subsonic hunting ammunition.
Key Features
Cartridge Optimization
The 8.6 Blackout cartridge, paired with a 16.1-inch barrel and a 1:3 twist rate, delivers optimized ballistic performance, making it highly effective for heavy projectile stabilization. This synergy is designed to maximize terminal effects, especially when utilizing subsonic loads for suppressed operations in field environments.
Platform & Construction
Built on the CMMG Mk3 platform, this precision carbine adheres to the Gen 1 DPMS High-Pattern LR308 design. This adherence ensures broad compatibility with existing accessory systems and simplifies component integration for end-user optimization. The 7075-T6 aluminum receiver establishes a robust foundation, complemented by a durable black nitride finish engineered for enhanced corrosion and wear resistance.
Functional Ergonomics
The Resolute MK3 integrates CMMG ZEROED components and the proprietary RIPSTOCK, enhancing practical utility and user interface. Its 15-inch EML 15 M-LOK handguard provides ample, secure attachment points at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock positions. This design facilitates the secure integration of tactical optics and auxiliary lighting systems without introducing excessive mass. This configuration positions the CMMG Resolute MK3 as a versatile carbine system, suited for diverse applications ranging from operational training to demanding field deployment.
