CMMG Mk47 announced

[Decivox]

At 2k + a 7.62 upper makes a lot more sense. And we get XCR pistol mags.

Unless by some miracle this is NR, I agree.

 

[superz]

Praying to flying spaghetti monster for nr

 

[mobusten]

Soooo... Is it restricted???? Please, no opinions from people who just speculate using facts freshly pulled out of their own asteroid!

As far as I can tell there is nothing to go on here EXCEPT for speculation..

 

[CraigNConnor]

It's a frighten AR of course it's restricted
On characteristics alone this should be easy to see.

 

[bfiles]

emmm no, a version that takes xcr 10 round pistol mags.

Isn't that just any other 7.62x39 AR rifle then?!?!?!?!

 

[jlagman]

Very interested, but how hard is it to find AK mags in Canada?

 

[Questar2]

We'll be offering the MAGPUL AK PMAG's.

 

[Deckard]

So restricted? If not I'd buy. The cost is high so what's the bonus?

 

[Shrapnel]

You should bring in pinned Steel mags as well (preferably Europe surplus)... All plastic mags I have tried failed at some point... Usually, the latch lug shears off or wear off... And many plastic mags are oversize and do not fit well... I use them in an SKS-D and would probably buy a few steel mags...

I checked these out at SHOT, very nice rifles. There won't be any issues with the bolt as they used a 7.62 AR bolt as a base, not a 5.56. They had a 5.56 bolt that had been milled out for 7.62x39 for a comparison to their bolt....night and day difference. The Mk47 bolt is very beefy, with lots of meat around the locking lugs. $1999 is approximately $500 off the CMMG MSRP in their catalog. Take exchange, etc into account and it's not a bad price. Also, the Magpul AK mag seats and detaches very smoothly. It's a very well-designed rifle from the ground up. I will be getting one.

They should make a Canadian version that takes VZ mags and im sold .

 

[bfiles]

I want this but I would rather have a 7.5" or 10" barrel instead.

Here's hoping cmmg makes a cqb or pistol version

 

[Donster 125]

have these been confirmed as Restricted?

I agree a 7.5" barrel is what would make me purchase this rifle.

According to CMMG on AR15.com, they are looking at making a pistol version in the future.

 

[Deckard]

Why wouldn't Questar confirm status? Few are interested in a high price item unless we know. So, tell us.

 

[Questar2]

Received our first shipment in which provided the FRT and initiated the first transfer. These are RESTRICTED.

Did they rule it an AR variant? Or was there another reason?

 

[bfiles]

AR variant for sure

 

[Questar2]

That is correct, AR Variant so no chance of a non-restricted version.
