What is the AR-47?
The AR-47 is an AR-15-style firearm that’s chambered in 7.62x39mm, the same round used in the AK-47. It’s designed to offer the enhanced ballistics and affordability of the AK platform with the customization and familiarity of the AR-15.
Unlike a traditional AK, the AR-47 provides access to optics, rails, triggers, and grips from the vast AR aftermarket. It's ideal for anyone looking to build or buy a rifle that brings both power and precision together.
Why Choose 7.62x39mm in an AR?
The 7.62x39mm cartridge is widely known for its proven performance. When paired with an AR-style platform, shooters get the best of both worlds—superior terminal ballistics and modern firearm ergonomics.
Advantages of this caliber include:
-
Greater stopping power than 5.56 NATO
-
Better performance through barriers
-
Steel and surplus ammo availability
-
Affordable shooting with AK-level performance
