The KS47 is a hybrid AR, chambered in 7.62x39, that allows the use of standard AK-47 style magazines. In addition the KS47 upper can be used on a standard AR15 lower for use with AR47 style magazines.
In Stock Now! |

Rob Ski seemed impressed with it initially. I am intrigued for sure by both the AK and the mutant.

is this based off the MGI interchangeable magwell lowers? I have one I got recently, but found out I need a modified upper and carrier to be able to use the lower and that they do not work well with magpul AK mags. will the uppers be available separately if this is the case? I would need an upper for the lower I have currently, id even settle for a stripped upper and carrier.

The barrel isn't a deal breaker though, I have my own barrel and bolt I'd prefer to use anyway. I will need just the receivers and bolt carrier. The only down side to this that I could see is that it does not lock the bolt back on the last round, but thats standard for anything that uses an AK mag so no big deal...but that is a nice feature on my AR47.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wayne1one: The more info I get the more I see this is actually a proprietary system, BCG, upper and lower. That's pretty much the gun...... It has to be somewhat proprietary in order to use AK mags. The upper has to be milled in order for an AK mag to fit. Same with the bolt carrier. The bolt, barrel and FCG are really the only thing that drop in. I don't see why you couldn't mill your own upper though or have it milled. This is really exciting considering the options before when trying to build one. MGI was almost always out of stock with their parts and charged a shit ton for them. |

Depending on cost, if you have to just buy the proprietary upper, lower, and BCG, it might make for a fun build. As long as prices aren't crazy, the remaining parts are really what personalize builds.

Sweeeeeeet! As long as it works with real AK mags (steel) i'm very interested.
Would be more interested if uppers came with chrome-lining, afraid that will be a deal-breaker if I can't get that. Bonus: CHF FN barrel if they make one.  I'm in for two if that happens.
Looks great PSA, keep up the good work! |

Sorry for the confusion, but mag lock refers to what happens when you engage the mag catch with a new/fresh magazine, but fail to latch the front of the mag onto the front pin, causing the mag to essentially become jammed. This has been seen in my Mutant, and I was wondering if this was possible to do with your rifle. Its not bad, but I'm curious if its inherent to the platform in general. Also, any plans for a 5.45x39 version? |

Can you offer the BCG in nitride? I'll be building one of these (upper/lower/BCG, with my own choice of barrel) soon as the parts are available, but have a distaste for phosphate and would prefer nitride.
Do you see nitride BCG for the KS anytime soon? ETA: and just a suggestion... flatten out the lower portion of the mag release lever (like the CMMG's) so it's easier to knock out the mag with another mag. The curved looks nice, but I don't know what purpose it serves. With the curve, it increases the distance to grasp it with thumb while grabbing the mag (normal style), and would make it harder to knock them out with replacement mag (the other style), so I fail to see the benefit of the curve (other than esthetics). This is the only product I've actually had that "must have" feeling about in a LONG time! Well done PSA! And thank you for bringing this to market! Oh... and thank you for basing it on the AR15 style, unlike the overkill/overweight beast the CMMG is (seriously... it's a 7.62x39, not a .308... there's no need for that bulk/mass. The x39 isn't exactly a "hot' round).
