Century Arms includes many upgrades with the MB47. It includes a Magpul DT stock, US Palm grip, and US Palm handguard with MLOK slots. The gas tube is railed for optic and accessory mounting. Optics mounting is not limited to the gas tube though, as a standard AK-style rail sits on the left side of the receiver.
A flat-faces RAK-1 trigger is standard. One 30-round US Palm magazine is included with the MB47. The safety lever has an extension for easy manipulation with the right hand, and it has a slot to hold the bolt open. The MSRP for the MB47 is $1699.99.
From the manufacturer:
“Century Arms continues to push the boundaries of the AK platform by collaborating with John Sharps of Sharps Bros on a new milled receiver AK47, the MB47. The MB47 is the latest in Century Arms’ line up of the US made AK47 platform!
The MB47 features a case-hardened billet 4140 milled receiver with manganese phosphate finish and optic ready side mount. It is chambered in 7.62x39 and ships with a US Palm 30rd magazine. The MB47 is outfitted with premium components, to include the all-new US Palm free float MLOK handguard, Ultimak gas tube rail, RAK-1 Enhanced Flat Trigger, Century Arms US chevron compensator that is installed on a 5/8x24 threaded fluted and chrome lined 16.25” barrel, and Magpul DT carbine stock w/ AR15 mil-spec buffer tube.”

You can put lipstick on a pig, it ain't gonna make it fuckable. In this case the same applies to a Sharps Bros receiver, it ain't gonna make the barrel trunnion less explodey.
