Missouri-based CMMG has updated its Mk47 Mutant platform with its new Mk47 AKR and Mk47 AKR2 rifles. These models feature an ambidextrous safety selector; new RML15 M-LOK handguard; and a new ambidextrous charging handle.
As the CMMG presser notes, the Mutant is a mid-sized AR that runs the 7.62x39mm round using a bigger and more durable AR10-sized bolt. It does this while offering AR-15-style ergonomics. In addition, it’s constructed from an AR10-style platform which is shortened by ¾ of an inch. Meanwhile, the lower receiver accepts AK magazines and drums.
The Mutant works with most aftermarket AR parts, except charging handles. That’s because the Mutant is a shortened, mid-size platform AR. Slapping on the new ambi charging handle makes the Mk47 AKR and Mk47 AKR2 easier to run, CMMG says. Furthermore, you get a fully ambidextrous rifle thanks to the mag release and safety selector. CMMG is also selling the ambi charging handle as a standalone accessory.
The CMMG Mk47 Mutant AKR is available for $1,699.95. MSRP on the Mk47 AKR2 is $1,899.95. CMMG is also selling the ambi charging handle as a standalone accessory for $99.95. For more, visit cmmginc.com.
