CMMG 5.7x28mm barrel and bolt carrier group kit with 16.1" threaded barrel. Features patented Radial Delayed Blowback system for reduced recoil and lighter carrier weight. Fits AR-platform uppers.
Fits: AR-15
This complete barrel and bolt carrier group kit represents a thoughtful approach to building a modern, efficient AR-platform carbine in 5.7x28mm. The 16.1" barrel length provides a practical balance between velocity and handling characteristics.
The standout feature is CMMG's patented Radial Delayed Blowback system. This is not your typical direct blowback design. The key benefits include:
The kit is engineered for Mk4/mil-spec AR15 uppers and works seamlessly with either a CMMG Mk57 lower receiver or standard Mk4/AR15 mil-spec lower receiver. When using a standard lower, you'll need CMMG 5.7 AR Conversion Magazines to ensure proper function.
Whether you're building a carbine, AR pistol, or short-barreled rifle, this kit provides everything needed for a complete upper assembly. The 5.7x28mm cartridge offers mild recoil, reduced noise signature, and excellent accuracy at typical defensive distances.
This is a complete solution for shooters seeking to explore an alternative caliber within the familiar AR-platform ecosystem.
