CMMG Stripped 308 Lower Receivers

Note: This CMMG information is for historic purposes only. CMMG now offers DPMS AR 308/308 AR receivers.

CMMG has some real interesting stripped lower receivers. Two are DPMS upper receiver compatible and the third is Armalite The most intriguing of the three though is the DPMS compatible lower that utilizes some of most least expensive and readily available magazines on the planet, H&K G3 magazines.

In addition to stripped lowers CMMG also builds lowers customized with a wide choice of options.

CMMG G3 Mag Compatible 308 AR Stripped Lower

Upper is compatible with DPMS .308 upper receivers with minor modification to upper receiver to allow for clearance of wider G3 magazine. With new mags available $3-5, this is a combo that cannot be beat. Lower is compatible with most popular aftermarket triggers currently on the market.

PATRIOT ORDNANCE FACTORY AR-STYLE .308 MACHINED LOWER RECEIVER

Stripped, semi-auto lower receiver is fully machined from U.S.-sourced 7075 T6 aluminum billet for superb strength and precise dimensions. Extra metal in the right places gives a big payoff in added support and rigidity with minimal extra weight. AR-style .308 accepts mil-spec and aftermarket accessories, so you can select the upper receiver, receiver extension, trigger group, pistol grip, and buttstock that best serve your needs — the perfect foundation for a custom tactical rifle. Integral, oversized triggerguard, machined as part of the receiver, further enhances structural rigidity and provides plenty of clearance for trigger finger when wearing gloves. Radiused inside and outside edges protect finger from cuts and scrapes when mounting weapon quickly or during extended fire. Flared magwell with smoothly radiused inside corners helps ensure fast reloads, without fumbling, when seconds count. Cut for ambidextrous bolt release to allow strong- or weak-hand operation; right-side button included with receiver. Easy-to-see laser etched, international “fire” and “safe” symbols give the operator instant, intuitive feedback on the weapon’s safety status in high-stress situations. Mil-spec hardcoat anodized for additional surface strength and corrosion resistance before application of the hard, self-lubricating Teflon® outer coating that’s almost impervious to abrasion and scratches. All heat-treatment, plating, and coatings are applied by U.S.-owned and operated contractors.

Cobb MCR 308

The MCR (Multi-Caliber-Rifle) series rifles are chambered in a long list of calibers, from 9mm to 338 Lapua and pretty much everything in between.

MCR stands for Multi-Caliber-Rifle and it is built on the AR type design. MCR Semi-Automatic rifles come in four different models which interchange with each other from one series to the next. To change calibers for example from a .223 (MCR100) to .308 (MCR200) you simply change the upper receiver and magazine module.

To change calibers on the same series rifle from one caliber to another within the same series for example, on an MCR400 from 300 Winchester Magnum to 338 Lapua Magnum you simply change out the barrel and bolt.

Lower receivers and magazine module made out of T6-6061aircraft aluminum. AR type pistol grip and butt stock. AR type trigger group parts that interchange with standard AR’s.

The Cobb system is propriety and will not work with Armalite or DPMS uppers. The Cobb MCR utilizes HK G3 magazines

Cobb was purchased by Bushmaster and it’s fate is unclear

 


Hesse/Vulcan AR308

Hesse had quality issues and sold the design to Vulcan.They have a reputation of being low quality under both names.
