KelTec CMR30 22WMR Review - Compact, Versatile & Fun to Shoot

Designed for lightweight, low recoil accuracy, the CMR30 .22 WMR features a nice, single-action trigger, ambidextrous dual non-reciprocating operating handles, ambidextrous safety and heel catch magazine release.

The KelTec CMR30 is a .22 Magnum carbine that holds 30 rounds in each of its two flush-fit magazines. That’s a lot of firepower for a 3.8-pound, semi-auto, collapsible truck gun. It comes out of the box as you see it, including Magpul sights and ambidextrous, non-reciprocating dual operating handles. She’s a straight blow-back tack driver that delivers a ton of fun.

Compact

With the multi-position stock collapsed, the CMR30 is only 22.7 inches in length from muzzle to buttstock, making it easily portable and quick into action if needed. The stock positions also enable you to adjust the length of pull to suit your preference.

Versatile

There are many roles the CMR30 can fill. It comes standard with Picatinny-style rails built into its aluminum chassis and the barrel is threaded 1/2–28 for your choice of muzzle device. The trigger has a nice 5-pound break and most of this carbine has ambidextrous features.

Firepower

Despite its compact size and minimal weight, the CMR30 dispenses 30 rounds of .22 Magnum from a single magazine and 16-inch barrel.
