Owners of the Sharps MB47 appreciate the M-LOK handguard as a practical departure from traditional AK furniture, making it easier to attach lights or other accessories without adapters. The threaded barrel is another frequently cited convenience for those who want suppressor or muzzle device compatibility.

The 7.62x39 chambering and AK-pattern reliability draw the usual crowd of fans, though some shooters note the black synthetic stock lacks the feel of mil-spec wood furniture. Trigger quality is a recurring split point, with some owners considering it acceptable out of the box and others swapping it early.

Value opinions are generally favorable. Century Arms AK-pattern rifles occupy a competitive price tier, and the MB47's modern handguard sets it apart from plainer offerings. Long-term durability feedback is mixed, with most owners reporting no issues and a smaller subset noting fit-and-finish concerns typical of the price range.
