Century Arms has once again demonstrated its commitment to innovation in the AK platform with the introduction of the MB47 in cooperation with Sharps Bros. This new milled receiver AK47 is the latest addition to the company's lineup of US-made AK47s, highlighting their dedication to quality and performance.

The MB47 stands out with its case-hardened billet 4140 milled receiver, finished with a manganese phosphate coating, and equipped with an optic-ready side mount. Chambered in 7.62x39, it comes with a US Palm 30-round magazine, ensuring it meets the needs of modern shooters. The rifle is packed with premium components, including the newly designed US Palm free float MLOK handguard and Ultimak gas tube rail.

One of the key features of the MB47 is its billet 4140 milled receiver. This component is crafted from high-quality steel, providing superior strength and durability. The precision milling process ensures exceptional reliability and minimal flex, making it a standout feature in the AK47 market.

The US Palm free float MLOK rail is another highlight of the MB47. This non-magnetized rail offers versatile mounting options for various accessories, enhancing the rifle's overall accuracy by allowing for free-floating barrel performance. This design choice reflects Century Arms' focus on delivering a high-performance firearm.

The MB47 also boasts the all-new RAK-1 flat-faced trigger, known for its smooth operation and responsiveness. This trigger provides crisp, clean pulls, enhancing the shooting experience. The inclusion of a Magpul DT carbine stock on an AR15 mil-spec buffer tube adds to the rifle's comfort and adjustability, allowing for a personalized fit.

Additionally, the MB47 features a fluted, chrome-lined barrel with a 5/8x24 threaded design. This precision-engineered barrel not only enhances performance but also offers customization options for shooters. The Century Arms US chevron compensator further improves the rifle by minimizing muzzle rise and recoil, enabling faster follow-up shots and better control.

“When it came to next steps for Sharps Bros, we wanted to partner with Century who we saw as someone who had a generational amount of experience,” said John Sharps of Sharps Bros. “So it was a perfect collaboration opportunity.” Through this collaboration, the MB47 shows how Generation Meets Innovation!

Rounding out the MB47's impressive list of features is the safety lever, which includes an extension for easy manipulation with the right hand and a slot to hold the bolt open. Priced at $1699.99, the MB47 represents a significant investment in quality and performance for AK enthusiasts.
