Thank you for this.
Why don’t you make the bolt carrier a full auto profile? Is this something that would be able to be custom ordered?
Also what aftermarket triggers do you recommend that have enough power to ignite the primer on a 7.62×39?
omg i just picked up one of these yesterday
Thank you for answering my question. I will definitely do that. I love my 10mm from you guys!!!
I have a question will your company produce any handgun models ? Of all different cals. Shapes and sizes
Two more questions:
1) I see the term "Mk47" used all over your website and literature but it looks like the name "Mutant" has been discontinued. A gun by any other name is just as badass but why the name change? I like calling it the Mutant!
2) Is there one specific person who came up with the concept of an oversized .308 bolt carrier face for the 7.62×39 cartridge or was it a group effort? What lead to this discovery? I feel like it's the main innovation that keeps the Mk47 ahead of the AK/AR hybrid competition and it's one of the best ideas in recent history. Thanks, keep up the great work!
King Joe is going to bankrupt the firearms industries he's trying to pay all us republicans back for not buying in to his crooked bull shit……
I would also love a mk47 in 5.45x39mm. Call it the mk74?
What are the lead times for ordering a mk47 complete or just the upper or lower receiver?
Ordered an mk47 banshee 300 on 9-2-20. Still don't have it yet. Sales team is hard to get in contact with any idea when it may be built. Dementia Joe's pen hand is getting itchy.
Next show please,… feature the Mk57 Banshee 300, please. Thanks!
Is the backorder for stripped lowers also 20+ weeks? I ordered a MkGs stripped lower and tried to ask but I've never got an email back despite waiting 2 weeks and asking twice
Will you be making a 22LR conversion for the MK47? I love my MK47, but it'd be nice to have the 22LR bolt around to toss in and not feel the pain of the current ammo crunch or heck, do a bit of small game hunting when I go backpacking. I'd buy 10 mags and a bolt in 22LR for the MK47 ASAP if it was available. Suppose I'm just jealous of those with an AR upper and lower that can toss your 22LR conversions in.
Guns and gadgets made me sub. I want to see the Mohawk!!
I had to open my gas port to 3.20 mm and added superlative arms adjustable Gasblock on 10.5” mk 47 and cycling is 💯 with brown bear subsonic ammo!!🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
Just picked up one in 16” local gunstore 👍👍Now I have 10.5” and 16”. I’m set now 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
Answer to Question 1 – Primary Arms 1-6x with ACSS Reticle. Would recommend American Defense for the mount. Never cheep out on a mount.
Answer to Question 4 – Flip up iron (NEVER PLASTIC!), Red dot sight (recommend holosun), flashlight mount and light (recommend SureFire), simple USGI NYLON 2 point sling (no need to get fancy with the sling. Keep it simple). The big 3 are red dot sight, weapon light, and sling. Anything more than that is just being a Tacticool Timmy unless you can legit justify it for a specific purpose. Spend your money on ammo and training. No piece of equipment is EVER going to replace that.
Answer to Question 5 – In addition to what was said here, check out the Brown Bear 193gr subsonic for ammo choice. Subsonic 7.62×39 is hard to come by so that Brown Bear is going to most likely what you're going to see. I personally would only run subsonic 7.62×39 out of a bolt gun and use it for hunting.
I'm an AK guy considering getting an Mk47. Oh and kudos to Missouri where CMMG is located for being such a kickass state for gun owners! In addition to CMMG, they got Fiocchi ammo, Midway USA, CZ USA (sorta, it's in Kansas City on the Kansas side), Black Rain Ordinance, Smith and Wesson, and best of all, Rob Ski!
Great answers
Couple questions
Are Mk 47 lowers compatible with MkW 6.5 Grendel uppers? If so, will AK Grendel mags work?
Also is it possible to get a 6.5 Gren barrel in 18"? Only see 16" then 22" for longer ones
Are Mk 47 lowers/bolts compatible with VLTOR A5 buffers? Will the gas key strike the lower?
Why is there no trigger upgrade on the 300 MK47 Banshee?
Make a side charging mk47 and I'm in
