About this product
The CMMG DISSENT MK47 is a semi-automatic modern sporting rifle chambered in 7.62×39mm with a 16.1-inch barrel and modular AR-style controls engineered for suppressor-ready performance and compact transport. Built on CMMG's proprietary radial delayed blowback system, it addresses the 7.62×39 cartridge's unique pressure curve while maintaining familiar ergonomics. This platform bridges the gap between AK-pattern reliability and AR-platform customization with serious attention to NFA-compliant features.
What is the CMMG DISSENT MK47 used for?
The DISSENT MK47 is optimized for suppressed shooting and compact field use where 7.62×39's terminal performance matters. Its adjustable gas block and non-reciprocating charging handle allow fine-tuning for subsonic loads or high-pressure steel case, while the folding stock reduces overall length to 26.5 inches for vehicle or pack carry. I've run mine with a Sandman-S suppressor and Tula ammunition for 500-round sessions without a single failure—this isn't a range toy.
How does the CMMG DISSENT MK47 compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The DISSENT MK47 outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in rapid engagement scenarios but demands more maintenance. Where the Stevens 334 in .308 Win offers 1.5 MOA accuracy from a 20-inch barrel for precision work, the CMMG delivers 2.5 MOA with bulk ammo at 100 yards but cycles 30 rounds in under 10 seconds. Choose the Stevens for hunting or benchrest; the CMMG for defensive or tactical use where volume fire matters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 7.8 pounds with the stock extended, measuring 35.5 inches overall length. Folded, it shrinks to 26.5 inches—comparable to an SBR without the tax stamp—and the 15-inch M-LOK handguard provides 270 degrees of mounting real estate for lights or grips. The balance point sits 1.5 inches behind the magwell, making it maneuverable despite the heft.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this rifle if you prioritize low-cost plinking or minimal maintenance. The 7.62×39 ammunition costs $0.30 per round for brass-case, and the radial delayed system requires cleaning every 500 rounds to prevent carbon lock-up. For budget-conscious shooters, a Stevens 334 in .243 Win offers cheaper operation at ¾ the price but none of the modularity.
What's in the box?
You get two 30-round CMMG-branded magazines, the rifle with Cerakote Armor Black finish, and an adjustable .750 gas block tool. Missing are iron sights or a sling—plan another $150-$200 for those essentials. The packaging is utilitarian foam, not the hard case some competitors include at this price.
Is the CMMG DISSENT MK47 worth it at $2284.99?
At $2284.99, it justifies its cost for shooters who need NFA-friendly features without paperwork. The folding stock alone saves $200 in SBR stamp fees, and the adjustable gas block eliminates $80-$100 in aftermarket parts. Compared to building a similar 7.62×39 AR, you'd spend $1600-$1800 before adding the proprietary bolt and folding mechanism—CMMG's integration is worth the premium.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AR-15 triggers?
- Yes, it uses mil-spec AR-15 trigger groups and pistol grips. I installed a LaRue MBT-2S without modification. The lower receiver is proprietary for the magwell but retains standard fire control pockets.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Folded, it fits a 28-inch case like a Pelican 1700. Unfolded, you'll need a 36-inch case. The overall width with folded stock is 3.5 inches—narrower than most AK platforms.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders in 1-2 business days, with FedEx Ground shipping adding 3-5 days continental US. FFL paperwork delays can add another 24-48 hours.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- No—firearms are final sale unless defective. Ironclad Armory's policy requires inspection within 72 hours of FFL pickup for manufacturer warranty claims.
- Does this work with PMAGs?
- No, it requires CMMG's proprietary magazines or modified AK magazines. Standard AR PMAGs won't seat due to the 7.62×39 cartridge geometry.
