I've been look at these. If I could sell a kidney I'd have one in .45 ACP since the chances of Ruger delivering a .45 ACP PCC are remote.

More money than I would spend on a range toy.

Some people like chocolate.

Others like more chocolate.

No problem, like away...have fun, but I wouldn't want one of those goofy things for free.....

Looks interesting. Would rather a 16” barrel though.

Why is it worth $1650?

Price seems way high for what it is.

I'd like a 16" barrel as well.

Worth?

CMMG prices their Banshees pretty high regardless of chambering.

PCCs in AR platforms as a whole tend to be on the expensive side already.

This is not the standard blowback carbine either. It's delayed blowback. Most softer recoil.

Ok, so that's at least something that sets it apart from the crowd.

Sonny Crockett would have had one of those bastards for sure

I watched a video on this earlier today. They have a proprietary radial delayed blow back design. The rear of the bolt lugs are angled and are used to delay the rotation of the bolt.
I was going to ask the forum in a separate thread about the locking system. How well does it work? My thought was it put a lot of shear stress on the lugs and may lead to lugs breaking.
When I saw how it worked, I thought of the Blish lock system in the early Thompsons. The Blish and the radial system here are not truly locking. It was found that that system was mostly useless and I'm wondering about this too. The Blish system and this too operate on angled metal surfaces sliding against each other to delay chamber opening.

I personally don't think they are worth the $1300-1600 asking price. Even being new and CMMG needing to pay for R&D for the new locking system, I don't see how that much can be justified. The ONLY reason is people will buy them and that warrants the high price.
I do want a pistol caliber carbine and one in 10mm sounds great. I would also lean towards a short barrel pistol configuration and SBR it then add a stock. But that's my opinion.
