Description
The Dissent MK47 answers a question a lot of folks have been asking for years: what if you could run cheap, hard-hitting 7.62×39 through a rifle with AR-style ergonomics that still feeds from AK magazines? CMMG built exactly that, then went a step further by putting it on their bufferless Dissent platform. No buffer tube means the side-folding stock is fully functional, so you can fold it flat for the truck, the safe, or a backpack and still have a rifle that shoulders like a proper carbine when it counts.
What Makes the Dissent MK47 Different
The 14.3 inch medium taper barrel wears CMMG's Zeroed SVD brake, pinned and welded at the muzzle to bring the barrel to 16.1 inches. Up front you get a forward non-reciprocating side charging handle, which keeps your firing hand in place and makes running the gun from the shoulder quick and natural. The 13.5 inch free float M-LOK handguard with a full-length top Picatinny rail gives you plenty of real estate for lights, optics, and hand stops. And since the receiver ships without sights, you can set it up your way from day one.
Built to Run Your Way
CMMG included an adjustable gas block on this one, which is a bigger deal than it sounds. Whether you want to run a suppressor or just fine-tune the action to your favorite steel-case ammo, you can dial the system in instead of living with whatever the factory picked. The Zeroed 60/90 degree ambidextrous safety and Zeroed pistol grip round out the controls, and the folding stock adjusts for both length of pull and cheek height so it fits shooters of different builds and works with just about any optic setup.
Feeding the CMMG MK47
This rifle rocks and locks standard AK-pattern magazines, and CMMG ships it with two 30-round mags in the box. Between the durable Armor Black Cerakote finish, the 7.5 pound weight, and the sheer amount of adjustability packed in here, the Dissent MK47 is one of the most refined ways to shoot 7.62×39 on the market today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CMMG Dissent MK47 take standard AK magazines?
Yes, that's one of the biggest draws of this rifle. It feeds from standard AK-pattern magazines, so surplus mags, PMAGs, and steel mags you already own should run in it. CMMG includes two 30-round magazines in the box to get you started.
Can I shoot the Dissent MK47 suppressed?
The rifle comes with an adjustable gas block specifically so you can tune the system for suppressed shooting or different ammo loads. Keep in mind the Zeroed SVD brake is pinned and welded to the barrel, so mounting a suppressor means working around that fixed muzzle device. Many owners tune the gas down and enjoy a noticeably softer-shooting gun.
Why doesn't the Dissent MK47 have a buffer tube?
CMMG's Dissent platform uses a bufferless operating system that contains the recoil action inside the receiver instead of extending into a buffer tube. That's what allows the true side-folding stock, letting you fold the rifle down for compact storage and transport. It also keeps the overall package shorter than a comparable AR-style carbine.
Does this rifle come with sights or an optic?
No, it ships optics ready with no iron sights installed. The full-length top Picatinny rail across the receiver and handguard gives you plenty of room to mount a red dot, LPVO, or backup irons. Most buyers pair it with a red dot or low-power variable given the practical range of the 7.62×39 cartridge.
