Description
The DISSENT MK47 is CMMG answering a question a lot of people have asked over the years: why can't I have AK power and mag compatibility in a rifle that handles like a modern AR? This one delivers exactly that. It runs 7.62×39 from standard AK-47 magazines, but the controls, ergonomics, and modularity are all familiar AR territory. The big trick here is the bufferless compact action. With no buffer tube hanging off the back, CMMG fitted a true side folding stock with adjustable length of pull and an adjustable cheek riser, so the rifle folds down tight for the truck, the safe, or a backpack.
Why the DISSENT MK47 Shoots So Smooth
The compact action works with a direct impingement gas system, and the result is a noticeably soft-shooting 7.62×39. The 16.1 inch medium taper barrel wears a 1:10 twist that stabilizes the caliber well, and the muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 with a CMMG Zeroed brake installed to keep things flat. The adjustable .750 gas block is the feature suppressor owners will appreciate most. Dial it down for a can, open it up for weaker steel-cased ammo, and find the sweet spot for whatever you feed it.
Built Like a Mk47 Should Be
CMMG machined the lower from billet 7075-T6 aluminum and matched it to a mid-size Mk47 upper, so the whole package feels overbuilt in the best way. A 15 inch free float M-LOK handguard with a full-length Picatinny top rail gives you plenty of real estate for lights, optics, and a laser if that's your thing. The non-reciprocating forward charging handle lets you run the gun without breaking your grip or coming off target, and the Zeroed 60/90 ambidextrous safety works from either shoulder.
Feeding the CMMG MK47 DISSENT
This Tungsten Cerakote model ships with two 30-round magazines, so you're range-ready out of the box. Between the affordable, plentiful 7.62×39 ammo supply and the mountain of AK mags already floating around, keeping this rifle fed is about as painless as it gets. It's a smart pick for range work, hog hunting, or anyone who wants x39 thump in a refined, optics-ready package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CMMG DISSENT MK47 take standard AK magazines?
Yes, that's one of its biggest selling points. It feeds from standard AK-47 pattern magazines, so all those affordable steel and polymer AK mags you already own will run in it. It ships with two 30-round magazines to get you started.
How does the DISSENT MK47 have a folding stock on an AR-style platform?
CMMG's DISSENT line uses a bufferless compact action paired with direct impingement, which eliminates the buffer tube entirely. With nothing extending behind the receiver, the side folding stock folds flat and the rifle can even fire with the stock folded. The stock also adjusts for length of pull and includes an adjustable cheek riser.
Is the DISSENT MK47 a good suppressor host?
It's built for it. The 16.1 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24 behind the included Zeroed muzzle brake, and the adjustable gas block lets you tune the system down when running a can. That tuning ability keeps the action from getting overgassed and keeps the shooting experience soft and clean.
How does 7.62×39 recoil feel in this rifle compared to a standard AK?
Noticeably softer. Between the compact action design, the effective muzzle brake, and the ability to fine-tune the gas system, the DISSENT MK47 has a reputation as one of the smoothest shooting 7.62×39 rifles out there. Follow-up shots come back on target quickly.
