CMMG’s Next Heavy Hitter

The New Mk4 HT With Heavy Taper Barrel
CMMG Mk4 HT

Fayette, MO—Featuring a heavy taper barrel, CMMG’s new Mk4 HT series of rifles are sure to be a favorite among shooters in search of greater consistency.  This new offering is available in 5.56mm, 300 AAC Blackout and .22 Long Rifle.

The primary advantage of the heavy taper barrel is that the added material will absorb more heat than its medium taper counterpart. This is especially beneficial when firing several rounds in succession, where the shot groups typically tend to walk as the barrel heats up.  A heavy taper barrel takes longer to heat up, thereby ensuring better consistency among groups.

The .22 Long Rifle version of the Mk4 HT series comes standard with a nitrided 4140 CrMo steel barrel.  The 5.56mm and 300 BLK versions come with either a 416 stainless or nitride 4140 CrMo steel barrel.

The CMMG HT series rifles can be optimized to match any of your needs, thanks to an RKM11 KeyMod™ hand guard with a 1913 Picatinny rail on top.  With KeyMod slots at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions, you can put virtually any accessory on this rifle – from riflescopes to red dot sights, to slings, bipods, lasers and tactical flashlights.  For accessories that are not yet KeyMod compatible, users can purchase a separate CMMG 5-slot Picatinny adapter rail that can be easily attached to any of the KeyMod slots.

The Mk4 HT series comes equipped with an A2 pistol grip and a mil-spec M4 butt stock. This CMMG comes suppressor-ready and has a castellated thread protector attached to the muzzle to protect the threads from unwanted debris. It utilizes CMMG’s single stage mil-spec style trigger with a crisp break thanks to polished surfaces – giving you full confidence every time you squeeze the trigger. CMMG also includes a 30-round Magpul PMAG® with every 5.56 and 300 Blackout rifle.  The .22 Long Rifle versions come with a 25-round magazine.

Fish kills may be common in Upper Peninsula following extreme winter conditions

After the heavy ice and snow cover experienced on Upper Peninsula lakes this winter and spring, it may be common for anglers and others enjoying the outdoors to discover a higher than average number of dead fish or other aquatic creatures, such as turtles, frogs, toads and crayfish, Department of Natural Resources fisheries managers said today. “Winterkill is the most common type of fish kill,” said Gary Whelan, DNR Fisheries Division research section manager. “Much of the U.P. saw very deep ice and snow, so winterkill may be particularly common this year in shallow lakes, streams and ponds. These kills are localized and typically do not affect the overall health of the fish populations or fishing quality.” Read more

Nikon Expands Popular M-223 AR Riflescope Line

One of the most complete AR riflescope lines has expanded even further with the release of Nikon’s new M-223 1.5-6×24 BDC 600.  This new M-223 is made with a 30mm main body tube, giving it a wider adjustment range.  There is also an illuminated reticle version, making this compact riflescope even more effective in low-light situations.

Both of the new M-223 1.5-6×24 riflescopes come with Nikon’s BDC 600 reticle that is calibrated for the trajectory of the .223 Remington/5.56mm NATO round with 55-grain bullet.  It offers shooters unique open circle aiming points at 100-yard intervals and additional hash-marks at 50-yard intervals to effectively compensate for bullet drop.

The M-223 1.5-6×24’s illuminated BDC 600 reticle can be adjusted to different brightness settings using the push buttons on the eyepiece and has up to 32 different levels of intensity for the orange center dot. When the illumination feature is turned off, the last brightness level is saved.  The illuminated reticle operates on a 3V lithium battery. Read more
