CMMG 45AF30FAB Banshee MKG 8" 14-Round Threaded Barrel Carbine

The CMMG 45AF30FAB Banshee MKG 8" 14-Round Threaded Barrel Carbine represents a compact, modular platform built for operators who demand precision and portability without sacrificing firepower. Chambered in .45 ACP, this short-barreled carbine bridges the gap between pistol and rifle, offering the ballistics and ergonomics necessary for close-quarters tactical work, home defense, and specialized law enforcement applications. The 8-inch barrel length and threaded muzzle make this platform ideal for suppressors, allowing operators to maintain subsonic velocities while reducing signature and recoil impulse in dynamic environments.

Built on CMMG's proven modular architecture, the Banshee MKG features a direct-blowback operating system optimized for the .45 ACP cartridge, delivering reliable cycling across a wide range of ammunition types and suppressor configurations. The threaded barrel accommodates standard 1/2x28 muzzle devices, enabling shooters to attach suppressors, compensators, or flash hiders to suit mission requirements. Weighing 9.4 pounds, the carbine maintains a balanced profile with an overall length of 39.6 inches, making it manageable in confined spaces while preserving sight radius and charging handle ergonomics. The 14-round magazine capacity provides substantial firepower retention while keeping the platform compact—a critical advantage in tactical scenarios where reload windows are limited.

This carbine excels for operators, SWAT teams, and defensive-minded civilians seeking a suppressor-ready .45 ACP platform that prioritizes accuracy and control. The Banshee MKG integrates seamlessly with standard AR-platform accessories, allowing customization of handguards, optics mounts, and stocks to match individual workflow and weapon-light requirements. Installation requires no gunsmithing—the modular design accepts standard components directly, enabling rapid reconfiguration for different mission profiles. For those building a dedicated .45 suppressed rifle or upgrading from handgun-caliber carbines, this CMMG platform delivers the reliability and modularity that professional users and serious civilians depend on when performance matters.
