CMMG BANSHEE® MKG — .45 ACP, 5" Medium Taper Threaded Barrel (Black Nitride), 13+1, EML 4" M-LOK® Handguard, Black Armor Cerakote® Receiver, Pistol Tube, ZEROED™ Grip | Model 45AE70FAB | UPC 810144727790
Big-Bore, Super-Compact, Built to Run
Experience the punch of .45 ACP in a sleek, ultra-compact AR-pattern platform with the CMMG BANSHEE® MKG. Centered around a durable 5" medium-taper barrel treated in black nitride and threaded for your preferred muzzle device or suppressor mount (verify thread pitch), this configuration is purpose-built for close-quarters handling, easy accessory mounting, and reliable function. The EML 4" free-float M-LOK® handguard keeps weight low and gives you just the right real estate for a light, hand stop, or QD sling hardware, while the Black Armor Cerakote® aluminum receiver set shrugs off rain, sweat, and solvents. Finishing touches like the pistol tube and CMMG ZEROED™ grip round out a package that’s ready for home defense, range days, and suppressed shooting (where legal).
Capacity: 13+1 (where legal) • Model: 45AE70FAB • UPC: 810144727790
Why This BANSHEE MKG Stands Out
Compact .45 ACP, Purpose-Driven Barrel
The 5" medium-taper barrel hits the sweet spot for .45 ACP—compact for maneuverability with enough length for dependable cycling. Black nitride adds corrosion resistance, smooth cleanup, and long service life.
Threaded & Suppressor-Friendly
With a threaded muzzle (confirm pitch on your specific unit), you can choose comps, brakes, or suppressor mounts to tune recoil and backpressure for your go-to loads and mission profile.
EML 4" Free-Float M-LOK® Handguard
Short, rigid, and comfortable. The free-float design preserves point of impact under sling/barricade pressure, while the M-LOK® slots make it simple to add a light or hand stop.
Armor-Grade Finish
The Black Armor Cerakote® receiver finish is built for hard use—durable, low-glare, and easy to maintain after long training days.
Familiar, Confidence-Building Ergonomics
AR-pattern controls plus the CMMG ZEROED™ grip deliver intuitive handling and a secure purchase for fast follow-up shots and consistent manipulations.

What You’ll Notice on the Range
Big-Bore Control in a Small Package
The short barrel and compact handguard keep the front end light for quick transitions around doorways, vehicles, and barricades—without sacrificing control.
Smooth Cycling & Easy Cleanup
The black nitride bore and chamber resist fouling and make carbon wipe-off faster after high-round sessions—especially useful when shooting suppressed (where legal).
Free-Float Consistency
Because the handguard doesn’t touch the barrel, sling tension and barricade pressure won’t shift your point of impact as easily—supporting repeatable accuracy at speed.
Ideal Use Cases
Home & Property Defense: Compact footprint, controllable recoil, and optics-ready receiver
Vehicle & CQB Training: Short overall length for tight environments
Suppressor Hosts: Threaded muzzle + subsonic .45 ACP options (confirm legal compliance)
Range Fun & Drills: Low blast compared to many rifle calibers and a satisfying big-bore impulse
Smart Setup Recommendations
Optic: A micro red dot for speed; consider a 1.93" or lower-1/3 height mount to clear lights/irons
White Light: Compact M-LOK® weapon light with momentary switch for practical use
Sling: A quality 2-point sling with QD swivels to stabilize in unconventional positions
Magazines: Use reputable .45 ACP magazines recommended for your configuration; mark and rotate for reliability
Ammo: Test several loads (standard and +P where appropriate) and zero with your duty load, especially if suppressed

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the thread pitch on the .45 barrel?
A: Many .45 ACP barrels use .578×28, but pitch can vary. Check your specific unit’s spec card before purchasing muzzle devices or suppressor mounts.
Q: What magazines does it use?
A: Magazine type may vary by configuration and market. Use quality magazines recommended for your model and test with your chosen ammo.
Q: Is the handguard truly free-float?
A: Yes. The EML handguard is a free-float design to support consistency under sling or barricade load.
Q: Can I run it suppressed?
A: Where legal, yes—confirm thread pitch, choose an appropriate piston/fixed-barrel mount per your suppressor maker, and test cycling with your preferred subsonic load.
