Radial Delayed Blowback™ Operating System
Originally developed for the .45 ACP MkG platform, CMMG has adapted our Radial Delayed Blowback system across our pistol caliber lineup to create pistols and rifles with a softer recoil impulse and reduced bolt weight compared to traditional straight blowback systems. Check out our CMMG Resources article & video to learn more about what sets Radial Delayed Blowback apart.
All CMMG .40 S&W MkGs uppers are only designed for use with MkGs lowers. CMMG cannot guarantee function with other manufacturers’ lowers.
