Overview
The CMMG BANSHEE MK47 in 7.62×39 represents a purpose-built AR-platform pistol engineered for enhanced durability and logistical flexibility. Positioned as CMMG’s mid-size AR variant, the Mk47 integrates a robust receiver set and incorporates critical components like CMMG’s PowerBolt Technology. This configuration is specifically designed to accept AK-pattern magazines, providing operators with a reliable platform that leverages readily available ammunition and magazine sources without the excessive bulk often associated with larger calibers.
Key Features
Mk47 Platform Engineering
The core of this system is the Mk47 platform, featuring a receiver design optimized for the 7.62×39 cartridge. This mid-size configuration utilizes more robust receiver components compared to standard AR-15 platforms, enhancing structural integrity for sustained use. CMMG’s proprietary PowerBolt Technology is integrated, ensuring reliable feeding and extraction performance with AK-pattern magazines and the 7.62×39 cartridge.
Integrated ZEROED Component Suite
This BANSHEE model is equipped with a comprehensive suite of CMMG ZEROED components designed to optimize shooter interface and operational control. These include a ZEROED pistol grip, a responsive drop-in trigger for consistent pull characteristics, and a 60/90 degree ambidextrous safety selector for adaptable manipulation. Further enhancements comprise a ZEROED linear compensator (chambered for .308 Win, ensuring effective gas redirection), a robust Mk47 ambidextrous charging handle for intuitive manipulation, and a durable AR15 polymer dust cover.
EML Handguard System
The weapon system incorporates an EML (External M-LOK) handguard, providing extensive modularity for accessory integration. This handguard features full-length M-LOK attachment slots positioned on both sides and the bottom, alongside M-LOK compatibility between the top Picatinny rail sections. This design facilitates precise mounting of lights, lasers, and other mission-essential equipment.
Operational Utility
Designed for utility, the BANSHEE MK47’s ability to accept AK-pattern magazines directly addresses logistical commonality for users operating with 7.62×39 ammunition. The combination of the Mk47’s robust construction, PowerBolt Technology, and integrated ZEROED components delivers a firearm capable of consistent performance in demanding applications.
