The CMMG Dissent MK47 bridges the gap between AK-pattern reliability and AR-15 modularity, delivering 7.62x39mm performance in a compact pistol configuration. This innovative platform accepts standard AK magazines while maintaining familiar AR controls and ergonomics.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional AK pistols, the Dissent MK47 features a radial delayed blowback operating system that eliminates the need for a gas system entirely. This design reduces overall weight by approximately 12 ounces compared to gas-operated alternatives while providing consistent cycling across various ammunition weights. The system runs cleaner with significantly less fouling than direct impingement designs.
Key Features
- Radial delayed blowback operation for reliable cycling without gas system complexity
- 12.5-inch black nitride barrel with 1:10 twist rate and 1/2x28 threaded muzzle
- M-LOK compatible handguard with full-length top rail for optics mounting
- Accepts standard AK-47/74 magazines including 30-round capacity
- Black Armor Cerakote finish on aluminum receiver for corrosion resistance
- Ambidextrous safety selector and magazine release for enhanced ergonomics
- SB Tactical SBA3 pistol brace with adjustable length of pull
The Dissent MK47 excels in close-quarters applications where maneuverability matters most. Law enforcement agencies report consistent performance in vehicle operations, while competitive shooters appreciate the reduced recoil impulse compared to traditional AK platforms. The 7.62x39mm cartridge provides effective terminal performance out to 300 yards, making this suitable for both defensive applications and hunting medium game.
