The Resolute MK47 Gen 2 is a semi-automatic carbine chambered in 7.62x39mm with a 12.5-inch barrel. The Midnight Bronze finish covers an aluminum receiver. The short barrel keeps the package maneuverable in confined spaces while the 30-round capacity reduces time spent reloading.

Features 

The 7.62x39mm cartridge gives the MK47 more energy at close to medium range than a standard 5.56 AR-15, which is part of the appeal for home defense and hunting use. The aluminum receiver keeps weight in check for a short carbine. The semi-automatic action cycles without manual intervention between shots. 
 
The 12.5-inch barrel is notable. It's shorter than a standard 16-inch carbine, so check local regulations for any applicable requirements before purchasing. 
 

Usage 

The MK47 platform works for range shooting, home defense, and hunting applications where the 7.62x39mm cartridge's performance characteristics are preferred. Aftermarket accessory support for the AR-pattern controls exists, though it's narrower than standard 5.56 ARs.

The Resolute MK47 Gen 2 in Midnight Bronze gets generally favorable feedback, with most discussion centered on the 7.62x39mm platform and the finish.

The Midnight Bronze Cerakote draws positive comments for its look. It's visually distinctive compared to standard black carbines. Build quality is described as solid, and the 7.62x39mm chambering is appreciated for the cartridge's reliability and terminal performance. Shooting the platform is described as smooth by most owners.

The criticisms that come up are practical. Some users report occasional feeding issues with certain magazine or ammo combinations. Weight is noted as higher than expected for the carbine class. Aftermarket support, while present, is thinner than it is for standard 5.56 AR-15 builds, which limits accessory choices for some buyers. Overall the carbine is well-regarded by owners who specifically wanted the MK47 platform in this caliber and finish.
