The CMMG Dissent MK47 bridges the gap between AK reliability and AR ergonomics, delivering 7.62x39mm performance in a familiar platform. This side-charging rifle eliminates traditional charging handle limitations while maintaining full AR-15 compatibility for accessories and training.
What Makes This Different
The MK47 Dissent features CMMG's proprietary side-charging upper receiver that accepts standard AK magazines while utilizing AR-15 fire control groups and furniture. The radial delayed blowback system manages the 7.62x39mm cartridge's unique pressure curve without requiring a traditional gas system. This design reduces felt recoil compared to direct impingement systems while providing consistent cycling across various ammunition weights.
Key Features
- Side-charging handle integrated into upper receiver for ambidextrous operation
- 16.1-inch barrel with 1:10 twist rate optimized for 7.62x39mm ballistics
- 15-inch M-LOK handguard with full-length top rail for optics and accessories
- Side-folding stock reduces overall length to 26.5 inches when folded
- Adjustable gas block allows tuning for suppressed or unsuppressed use
- 60/90 degree ambidextrous safety selector accommodates left and right-handed shooters
- Zeroed pistol grip provides consistent hand placement and trigger reach
The radial delayed blowback action cycles reliably with steel-cased surplus ammunition through premium hunting loads. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent timing and reduced gas blowback compared to traditional AR platforms. The folding stock makes transport easier while maintaining a 30.5-inch overall length when extended. Law enforcement agencies have adopted similar platforms for their combination of stopping power and familiar manual of arms.
