The CMMG Banshee Mk4 .300 AAC Blackout 8″ RipBrace is a compact AR pistol built for short-barrel and suppressed shooting. This ready-to-run platform ships factory-zeroed with a 7″ EML M-LOK handguard, ambidextrous controls, and a 30-round Magpul PMAG. It pairs the .300 AAC Blackout cartridge with an 8-inch threaded barrel and linear compensator for reduced recoil and flash.

Key Features
- 8-inch threaded barrel with linear compensator — Why it matters: The short barrel keeps the pistol compact for vehicle or home defense, while the linear compensator directs blast forward, reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots.
- 7-inch EML M-LOK handguard — Why it matters: The slim free-float handguard gives you plenty of rail space for lights, lasers, or grips, and keeps your support hand cool during rapid fire.
- Ambidextrous controls (safety selector, bolt catch, magazine release) — Why it matters: Left-handed or right-handed shooters can run the gun without switching hands, making it ideal for teaching new shooters or sharing between family members.
- Drop-in trigger with crisp 4.5-pound pull — Why it matters: A clean break helps beginners shoot tighter groups and builds confidence at the range, while experienced shooters appreciate the consistent reset.
- Factory-zeroed RipBrace — Why it matters: The adjustable brace provides a stable cheek weld for accurate shots, and it ships already sighted in so you can hit the range right out of the box.
Who It’s For
This CMMG Banshee is built for family shooters who want a compact, suppressor-ready pistol that’s easy to handle. It works well for home defense, plinking, and teaching new shooters the AR platform without the weight of a full-length rifle. The .300 AAC Blackout caliber also gives you the option to run subsonic ammo for quieter shooting.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Factory-zeroed components save setup time — the pistol grip, trigger, and brace are all installed and tuned at the factory.
- Pro: Ambidextrous controls make it friendly for left-handed shooters or for passing between family members.
- Pro: Linear compensator reduces muzzle blast, which is helpful when shooting indoors or near others.
- Con: The 8-inch barrel limits muzzle velocity with supersonic .300 Blackout loads compared to longer barrels, so long-range accuracy drops past 200 yards.

FAQ
Is the CMMG Banshee Mk4 .300 AAC Blackout 8″ RipBrace California legal?
As of April 2026, this pistol is not on the California Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale, so it cannot be sold or shipped to a California resident unless it meets the state’s specific exemptions (e.g., single-shot conversion). Check your local laws before ordering.
Does the CMMG Banshee require a tax stamp for the brace?
No. The RipBrace is classified as a pistol brace, not a stock, so no ATF tax stamp is needed. You can install a standard stock only if you register it as a Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR) and pay the $200 tax stamp.
What magazines does the CMMG Banshee Mk4 use?
It ships with a 30-round Magpul PMAG and accepts all standard AR-pattern .300 AAC Blackout or 5.56 NATO magazines. The .300 Blackout rounds fit the same mags as 5.56, so you can use your existing AR mags.
Can I suppress the CMMG Banshee Mk4?
Yes. The 8-inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24 TPI, which is the standard for .30-caliber suppressors. The linear compensator is removable, so you can attach a suppressor directly. Running subsonic .300 Blackout ammo makes it very quiet.
