Design and engineering that blend AK roots with AR familiarity

The CMMG MK47 DISSENT (AB) was developed as a modern, American-made 7.62×39 platform that combines the proven reliability of the AK action with the ergonomics and control that AR users expect. Its gas piston system and bufferless action are engineered to allow an ACR-style folding stock—meaning you get compact transport and stable shooting without sacrificing reliability.

Key mechanical features

Its gas piston operation reduces direct gas impingement on the bolt group for cleaner running under extended use. The bufferless action removes the need for a traditional AR buffer tube, enabling the folding stock and making storage or movement in tight spaces far easier. The front-facing, non-reciprocating charging handle gives fast, intuitive access for manipulations without the handle moving during firing, which reduces perceived recoil and improves follow-up shot consistency.

Controls and interface

For shooters transitioning from AR-15 platforms, the MK47 retains an AR-style safety selector and pistol grip, lowering the training curve and making the rifle more user-friendly. The full-length M-LOK handguard supports modern accessory mounting while keeping weight in check and offering flexible configurations for lights, grips, and rail sections.

Performance: what the 7.62×39 brings to the table

The MK47 is chambered for the classic 7.62×39 round, a caliber known for dependable terminal performance at short to medium ranges and widespread availability. Whether you’re working in varied field conditions, running drills at the range, or configuring a compact patrol rig, 7.62×39 provides effective energy transfer and good barrier performance compared with lighter intermediate cartridges.

Applications and practical benefits

For home defense, the MK47’s controllable recoil and robust cartridge offer confidence at typical engagement distances. For range training and tactical practice, the combination of AR ergonomics with a 7.62×39 platform enables familiar manipulation while teaching how heavier, more momentum-driven rounds behave. Hunters and rural users will also appreciate the cartridge’s capability on medium game at appropriate ranges when used responsibly.

Durability, finish, and included equipment

The Armor Black Cerakote finish on the MK47 DISSENT (AB) adds corrosion resistance and a low-reflective profile suited to operational use. The ACR-style folding stock includes an adjustable cheek riser, so you can dial in a proper sight picture whether you’re using iron sights or an optic. CMMG ships this model with two 30-round MagPul AK-47 PMAG magazines, giving you out-of-the-box readiness for training sessions or practical drills.

Modularity and aftermarket friendliness

The full-length M-LOK handguard opens up a broad aftermarket ecosystem. Add a compatible optic, offset irons, a weapon light, or a compact foregrip—CMMG’s design retains AR-style ergonomics to make those accessories intuitive to use. Because the handguard is long and uninterrupted, you can position accessories exactly where they work best during live fire.

Handling and real-world use

The non-reciprocating front charging handle and bufferless action change how the rifle feels compared to more traditional AK-pattern or AR-pattern systems. The charging handle is fast to access from the firing stance and does not interfere with an optic’s sight picture. The folding stock makes the MK47 an attractive option for vehicle carry, transport, or movement in confined spaces while allowing a full cheek weld and stable platform when deployed.

Training considerations

Transitioning shooters will appreciate the AR-style controls—safety selector and grip—while learning the nuances of the heavier 7.62×39 round. Training should emphasize trigger control and sight management to offset the cartridge’s increased momentum. The rifle’s retrievable ergonomics help accelerate skill acquisition.
