CMMG AR15 .22LR Mk4 Evo - Lanner Tactical Version

[Dan Giliballs]

Update on the AR15...

Well it just gets better... got the Pulsar fixed and zeroed in to 70 yards, also zeroed an spare hawke mildot I had laying around and fitted it with quick release mounts, did a bit of scope swapping over the last week and all zeros still held, been out with it a few times over the last two weekends and shot loads of rabbits up to 80 yards, ideally need to get a shorter magazine as it's a little fiddley out of a vehicle, that's the only thing I can find wrong with it and it's not really a fault as such; more ergonomics. It's deadly with the pulsar on it, they don't know what's hit em. All in all still very impressed with the rifle and very accurate

This is the only quibble I have with mine, other than that I absolutely love it!

Just emailed Paul re the shorter mags he was getting in, different style to the CMMG grey ones but shorter which is the main thing

You have the older version grey magazines. These are being discontinued to be superceded by the Evolution magazines, of which I have three of, and they are bloody marvelous! I run a CMMG .22 conversion bolt in my AR-15, plus the anti jam charging handle, forward assist adapter, and bolt hold open actuator. Everything works like a charm, it's like having two rifles in one! I still shoot open sights, but I can easily group about 1" - 1.5" at 50yds, and about 5" at 100yds. Overall CMMG make a great product that's going to deliver years of fun.

Yep, there the ones, we talked about the evo mags when I got the rifle, I preferred the look of the old style ones so got an extra one of them, they were out of stock of the short skinned 10 round ones which I need desperately for out the truck window as the 25 rounders are a couple of inches too long

The grey mags do look more authentic, and they work very well, but the green followers they have in them did not work the bolt hold open actuator in my rifle. I had my three older mags exchanged for the evolution type, and all was good. The waffle look of the evolution mags have grown on me, plus they are more substantial in construction, especially the feed lips which are metal.

I must admit I've had a couple of instances where I've fired the last round, pulled the trigger again (not realizing I was out) then as I've pulled the mag the bolt has released on it's own accord so i've had to use the charging handle again as opposed to the bolt release button

Holy s*@t! Just checked out the price Lanner charges for the CMMG M4LE rifle - 900 quid! Seen them as cheap as $540 over here - rip off Britain is alive and well.
