Key Features
MK47 Platform Integration
The BANSHEE MK47 utilizes a dedicated receiver set designed to accept standard AK-pattern magazines, providing enhanced ammunition availability and robust feeding characteristics for the 7.62x39mm round within an AR-15 ergonomic framework. This design mitigates the known feeding challenges of 7.62x39mm in standard curved AR-15 magazines.
Construction and Materials
Built on a foundation of forged 7075-T6 aluminum upper and lower receivers, the MK47 ensures structural rigidity and durability. The 12.5-inch 4140 Chrome Moly barrel is treated with a salt bath nitride finish for superior corrosion resistance and an extended service life. The firearm incorporates a CMMG RML7 M-LOK handguard, providing ample attachment points for accessories while maintaining a low-profile design.
Performance and Reliability
Employing a direct impingement operating system, the BANSHEE MK47 delivers consistent cycling and proven reliability with the 7.62x39mm cartridge. The 12.5-inch barrel length is selected to provide a balance of ballistic performance and compact handling, making it suitable for close-quarters engagement or vehicle deployment.
Ergonomics and Modularity
Equipped with a CMMG RipBrace with a 6-position Fastback adjustment, this AR pistol allows for rapid deployment and precise length of pull customization. Standard AR-15 controls and a CMMG ZEROED pistol grip ensure familiar operation and enhance user interface.
