The CMMG Resolute MK47 combines AR-15 ergonomics with AK-47 ballistics, chambered in 7.62x39mm for reliable performance at an accessible price point. This platform bridges the gap between Western modularity and Eastern European ammunition availability. CMMG's proprietary Mk47 system delivers consistent cycling with steel-cased ammunition that can cause issues in standard AR platforms.
What Makes This Different
The Mk47 system utilizes a modified bolt carrier group and enlarged ejection port specifically engineered for the 7.62x39 cartridge. Unlike standard AR-15s converted to this caliber, the Resolute features purpose-built components that eliminate feeding and extraction problems common with adaptations. The enlarged magwell accepts readily available AK-pattern magazines, providing cost-effective feeding options compared to proprietary magazine systems.
