The CMMG Dissent MK47 combines AK-47 cartridge performance with AR-15 platform ergonomics in a compact pistol configuration. This 7.62x39mm firearm bridges the gap between two legendary platforms, offering shooters familiar AR controls with the proven terminal ballistics of the Soviet cartridge. The 12.5-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity retention while maintaining maneuverability in confined spaces.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard AR-15 platforms chambered in 5.56/.223, the MK47 utilizes CMMG's proprietary bolt and barrel extension designed specifically for the tapered 7.62x39mm cartridge. The system eliminates feeding issues common in other AR-platform AK cartridge conversions through precise chamber dimensions and optimized bolt geometry. This engineering approach delivers consistent cycling with steel-cased ammunition while maintaining the modularity shooters expect from the AR platform.
Key Features
- 7.62x39mm chambering with 30-round capacity for proven stopping power
- 12.5-inch black nitride barrel with threaded muzzle for suppressor compatibility
- Coyote Tan Cerakote aluminum receiver with integrated Picatinny rail system
- M-LOK handguard provides lightweight mounting platform for accessories
- CMMG's RDB (Radial Delayed Blowback) operating system reduces bolt velocity
- Standard AR-15 trigger group compatibility for customization options
- Pistol configuration with stabilizing brace attachment point
The RDB operating system manages the higher chamber pressures of 7.62x39mm ammunition through controlled bolt timing, reducing felt recoil and brass ejection velocity compared to direct impingement systems. This translates to faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy during rapid fire sequences. The nitride barrel treatment provides corrosion resistance and extended barrel life, while the threaded muzzle accepts standard 5/8x24 muzzle devices including compensators and suppressors.
