CM15 6MM ARC 16″ AR15 Rifle – FDE Metallic

CM15 6mm ARC Semi Auto Rifle — 16-Inch FDE Metallic

The 6mm ARC semi auto rifle from Chattahoochee Munitions combines the CM15 AR15 platform with a 16-inch barrel and mid-length gas system. This FDE Metallic configuration is part of Overwatch 6, CM’s supersonic precision and predator-hunting family.

The complete firearm includes billet-aluminum receivers, a TriggerTech AR15 Duty trigger, Superlative Arms adjustable gas block, Odin adjustable buffer and CM15 low-mass bolt carrier group. Coyote B5 Systems furniture and a Coyote DURAMAG complement the FDE Metallic finish.

A 6mm ARC Semi Auto Rifle for Field and Range Use

This configuration provides semi-automatic operation in the CM15 platform. Its 16-inch barrel, adjustable stock and integrated accessory interfaces serve customers comparing firearms for predator hunting and precision target shooting.

Select ammunition appropriate for the intended application and confirm its accuracy in the individual firearm. Cartridge designation alone does not establish hunting distance or a particular accuracy result.

16-Inch CM15 Barrel

This 6mm ARC semi auto rifle uses a 16-inch straight-fluted 416R stainless steel barrel with a black Cerakote exterior finish.

Confirmed specifications include a 1:7 twist, shouldered crown, 5/8×24 muzzle threads and a .750-inch gas journal. The barrel uses a mid-length gas system.

Mid-Length Gas and Adjustable Components

The rifle includes a mid-length Melonite-finished gas tube and a Superlative Arms .750-inch adjustable gas block with DLC Coyote finish. An Odin adjustable AR15 buffer is also standard.

These components form part of the complete CM15 operating system. Suppressor selection should consider the firearm’s gas-operated action alongside the suppressor’s cartridge rating and mounting compatibility.

TriggerTech AR15 Duty Trigger

The 6mm ARC semi auto rifle includes your choice of TriggerTech AR15 Duty trigger: straight, curved or two-stage straight. Each option has a 3.5 lb total pull weight.

Select the trigger profile and stage configuration that suit your preference. Photographs may depict older triggers; the current supplied options are the TriggerTech Duty selections listed here.

FDE Metallic Billet Receivers

The CM15 upper and lower receivers are CNC-machined from 7075-T6 billet aluminum and finished in FDE Metallic Cerakote. The lower incorporates an integral trigger guard, a machined magazine well with a wide flare and fire/safe pictograms on both sides.

The receiver set uses AR15-pattern dimensions. The lower receiver’s listed component weight is 8.0 oz; complete firearm weight is provided separately below.

Ambidextrous Controls

This 6mm ARC semi auto rifle includes CM ambidextrous safety, magazine-release and bolt-release controls. CM15 pivot and takedown pins complete the principal lower-receiver hardware.

The CM15 ambidextrous charging handle uses 7075 aluminum and is produced through the Warhammer collaboration with Breek Arms. A CM15 dust cover and forward assist complete the upper-receiver equipment.

CM15 Low-Mass Bolt Carrier Group

The CM15 low-mass bolt carrier group uses a 9310 steel bolt with high-pressure testing and magnetic-particle inspection. The bolt, carrier and gas key have nitride finishes.

The carrier incorporates lightening cuts. The assembly also includes a tool-steel extractor, hardened gas key and staked Grade 8 fasteners.

15-Inch CM15 LWS Handguard

The 6mm ARC semi auto rifle uses a 15-inch CM15 LWS handguard finished in FDE Metallic Cerakote. Its 6061-aluminum construction incorporates a dual-taper attachment system and steel barrel nut.

The handguard provides M-LOK interfaces on the sides and bottom, a full Picatinny top rail and QD sling attachment points at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. Coyote B5 Systems rail covers are included.

Coyote Furniture and Dimensions

A Coyote B5 Systems Bravo stock and grip complete the furniture configuration. The CM buffer tube is finished in FDE Metallic Cerakote and includes a QD endplate.

Overall length adjusts from 33.50 to 36.75 inches, while length of pull adjusts from 11.00 to 14.25 inches. Weight is 6 lb 6 oz with an unloaded magazine and no accessories.

Included Coyote DURAMAG

One Coyote 10-round DURAMAG is included with this 6mm ARC semi auto rifle. This is the AR15-pattern magazine CM has vetted for its CM15 6mm ARC firearms.

For additional magazines, visit the 6mm ARC AR15 magazine page. The CM15 does not use the AICS-pattern magazine supplied for the bolt-action CM7S.

Muzzle-Device Options

Product photographs depict a Yankee Hill three-port brake. Available alternatives include an A2 birdcage, Dead Air KeyMo, SilencerCo ASR or Rugged three-port brake.

Contact Chattahoochee Munitions to confirm the selected muzzle device and any price adjustment for an alternative. A suppressor mount must match the selected suppressor’s mounting system.

Suppressor Preference for the CM15

Chattahoochee Munitions prefers a flow-through or low-backpressure suppressor for this 6mm ARC semi auto rifle. That preference reflects the gas-operated CM15 platform and its supersonic application.

Confirm cartridge approval, bore suitability, barrel-length rating and mounting compatibility. Supersonic ammunition continues to produce a sonic crack when suppressed.
