Meet the compact precision rifle that punches way above its weight. The CMMG DISSENT Mk4 in 22 ARC blends a bufferless operating system with a true side-folding stock, a 16.10" threaded barrel, and CMMG’s crisp ZEROED™ drop-in single-stage trigger—all wrapped in a rugged Midnight Bronze Cerakote finish. Built around the high-BC 22 ARC cartridge, it delivers flat trajectories, impressive wind performance, and soft recoil from a portable AR-15 footprint that stows neatly in vehicles and deploys fast when it’s time to shoot.
Why the DISSENT Mk4 22 ARC Stands Out
Bufferless Design = Real Folding Stock: No receiver extension needed, so you get a true side-folding stock for compact transport and tight spaces—without compromising reliability.
Long-Range .224 Ballistics: Optimized for heavy 75–88+ grain bullets, 22 ARC offers excellent downrange efficiency and less wind drift than legacy .223 loads.
16.10" Velocity Sweet Spot: A practical length that preserves handling while generating the speed you need for precise dope at distance.
Match-Grade Trigger: The ZEROED™ drop-in single-stage provides a clean break and short reset for faster, more consistent hits.
Free-Float Stability: A rigid M-LOK handguard keeps support pressure off the barrel for repeatable POI from bags, bipods, and barricades.

Performance Advantages You’ll Notice
Stay on Target: Mild 22 ARC recoil and a crisp single-stage trigger help you spot impacts through the optic and run faster follow-ups.
Packable Precision: Fold the stock to reduce overall length for travel, storage, and moving through tight gates or timber.
Tripod & Barricade Ready: Long, stiff handguard and top rail make it easy to build stable positions in the field or at a match.
Suppressor-Friendly: Threaded muzzle accommodates modern .22-cal cans (where legal) for reduced blast and clearer shot-calling.
Ideal Use Cases
Predator & Varmint: Stretch coyotes and prairie dogs with high-BC bullets and minimal shooter fatigue.
Practical Precision Training: Drill wind calls and positions with a gas gun that’s easier to carry than a big-frame AR.
Ranch & Property: A durable, accurate, compact rifle that’s ready the moment a shot window opens.
Travel/Truck Rifle: Bufferless folding design simplifies discreet transport and quick deployment.
Setup Tips for Best Results
Magazines: 22 ARC typically feeds best from 6.5 Grendel-pattern AR-15 magazines due to case geometry and long COAL.
Optics: Choose a dependable FFP 3–15x or 4–16x with a wind tree and trustworthy tracking; LPVOs also work for lighter setups.
Support Gear: Add a cant-adjustable bipod and a small rear bag; consider an ARCA plate for tripod stages.
Ammo: Test several 75–88+ gr factory loads; log muzzle velocity (MV) and SD for reliable dope.
Gas/Impulse Tuning: If you change muzzle devices or run suppressed, tune for smooth ejection and minimal sight movement.
