CMMG BANSHEE MK47 PISTOL 7.62X39 8 ARMOR BLK

The CMMG Banshee MK47 pistol in 7.62x39 brings AK-caliber firepower to an AR-platform package built for serious shooters who want maneuverability without sacrificing ballistic performance. This 12.5-inch barreled pistol strikes the middle ground in CMMG's Banshee lineup—compact enough for close-quarters work, but with enough velocity and sight radius to reach out when you need it. The platform uses more robust receivers and components than you'd find in a standard AR, and the magwell accepts standard AK-pattern magazines, which makes sense since they were designed around this exact cartridge.

Built on CMMG's proven Mk47 mid-size AR platform, this pistol combines billet 7075-T6 aluminum receivers with direct impingement operation and a PowerBolt carrier for reliability that matches the cartridge's reputation. The 12.5-inch 4140CM barrel is chrome-lined and runs a 1:10 twist optimized for 7.62x39 ammunition, paired with a CMMG ZEROED linear compensator to help manage recoil and muzzle rise. An 11-inch EML M-LOK handguard gives you plenty of real estate for mounting optics, lights, or other gear without unnecessary weight—the whole system tips the scales at just 6.5 pounds.

The controls are where CMMG's attention to detail shows: ambi charging handle, 60/90-degree safety, integrated trigger guard, and a mil-spec single-stage trigger that breaks clean. The RipBrace secures the pistol comfortably at your side while staying legal in restrictive jurisdictions. This is a build for shooters who understand the advantages of short-barreled 7.62x39—less felt recoil than 5.56, proven stopping power, and ammo that's easier to find than it used to be. Whether you're testing accuracy at the range or running dynamic drills, the Banshee MK47 pistol delivers CMMG's engineering in a form factor that works.
