Cmmg Dissent Mk47 Braced 7.62X39 12.5 Armor Blk
The CMMG Dissent Mk47 braced pistol in 7.62x39 bridges the gap between AR ergonomics and compact firepower. Built on CMMG's mid-size AR platform and chambered in 7.62x39, this 12.5-inch barreled pistol delivers rifle-caliber capability in a package that handles like a short-stroke workhorse. Whether you're building a truck gun, a close-quarters defensive rig, or just want AK-pattern ammunition compatibility in an AR-pattern platform, the Mk47 Dissent offers serious versatility without the footprint of a full carbine.
The receiver set is built from 7075 T6 aluminum—upper and lower both—so you get the same durability and precision you'd expect from a quality AR, tuned for the 7.62x39 cartridge. The Mk47 platform uses an adjustable 0.750 gas block and carbine-length gas tube, dialed in for the round's unique chamber pressure curve. The barrel itself is 4140CM steel with a 1:10 twist, threaded 5/8x24, and topped with CMMG's ZEROED linear compensator, which helps control muzzle rise in a compact package. You get a CMMG 11-inch proprietary handguard with plenty of real estate for optics, lights, and lasers.
The controls reflect CMMG's Dissent lineup—side-charging handle (reversible for lefties), integrated trigger guard, 60/90-degree safety selector, and a ZEROED single-stage trigger. The Cerakote finish stands up to hard use, and the 1913 Picatinny rail end cap gives you an anchor point for a brace or storage. Two Magpul 30-round PMAGs ship with the gun. Total weight sits at 6.7 pounds and the overall length is 22.4 inches, making this a genuinely compact option for shooters who need 7.62x39 performance without the profile of a rifle.
