Description
The MK47 has always been CMMG's answer for folks who love AR controls but want to feed a rifle with affordable, easy-to-find AK-pattern magazines. The DISSENT version takes that idea further by dropping the buffer tube entirely. CMMG's compact action tucks the recoil system into the upper receiver, which is what allows the true side-folding stock and keeps this rifle surprisingly soft shooting for a 7.62×39. Fold the stock and it packs down small enough to stash in a backpack-style case, which is a big part of the appeal for anyone who travels with a rifle or keeps one behind the seat of a truck.
What Makes the DISSENT MK47 Different
The forward non-reciprocating charging handle sits on the side of the handguard, so you can run the action without breaking your firing grip or losing your sight picture, and it can be swapped to either side. The overbuilt MK47 lower is machined from billet 7075-T6 aluminum to handle the wider AK magazine, and controls stay right where AR guys expect them, including CMMG's Zeroed ambidextrous safety with a 60 or 90 degree throw. The DISSENT folding stock adjusts for both length of pull and cheek height, so getting behind an optic comfortably is quick work.
A 16.1 Inch Barrel Built to Run Anything
Up front you get a 16.1 inch medium taper barrel with a 1:10 twist that stabilizes everything from cheap steel-case plinking ammo to heavier hunting loads. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 for brakes and suppressors, and the adjustable gas block lets you dial the system in for suppressed use or tune it to whatever ammo you feed it. There are no sights on board, but the full-length top Picatinny rail and 15 inch M-LOK handguard give you all the real estate you need for optics, lights, and grips.
Range Days and Beyond with the MK47 DISSENT
At 7.7 pounds with a 30+1 capacity and the durable Armor Black Cerakote finish, this is a rifle that works as well for hog hunting and truck gun duty as it does for burning through a case of 7.62×39 on a Saturday. CMMG backs it with their Lifetime Quality Guarantee, which says a lot about how they build these.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CMMG DISSENT MK47 take AK magazines?
Yes, that is one of the biggest draws of the MK47 platform. The billet lower is built around standard AK-pattern magazines, so surplus steel mags and polymer AK mags you may already own will run in it. CMMG ships this model with two 30-round magazines to get you started.
How does the DISSENT operate without a buffer tube?
CMMG's patented compact action moves the recoil system into the upper receiver instead of a traditional buffer tube extension. That is what allows the true side-folding stock, and it also keeps felt recoil mild for a 7.62×39 rifle. It is a direct impingement system, so cleaning and maintenance feel familiar if you know your way around an AR.
Does the DISSENT MK47 come with sights or an optic?
No, this rifle ships optics ready with no sights installed. The full-length top Picatinny rail gives you plenty of room to mount a red dot, LPVO, or backup irons. Most owners pair it with a 1x prism or low-power variable to take advantage of what 7.62×39 can do out to a few hundred yards.
Can I run the CMMG MK47 DISSENT suppressed?
Absolutely, and it is well set up for it. The 16.1 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24 for common 30 caliber suppressors, and the adjustable gas block lets you turn the gas down to keep the rifle running smooth and clean with a can attached. That same adjustability helps you fine tune the action for different ammo when shooting unsuppressed too.
