The New MDC-47 “PESTILENCE” Rifle

MDC-47 “PESTILENCE” – NEXT GENERATION. THE FIRST OF FOUR MODELS IN OUR LIMITED “FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE” SERIES. Building on the legacy of our original “Pestilence” rifle, this next-generation model incorporates our all-new U.S.-made MDC 100 Series components and enhanced features for improved performance and craftsmanship.

Key Advantages Over Original Pestilence

  • Precision-Built Components: The original Romanian military surplus parts kit has been replaced with our precision-built MDC 100 Series parts, machined in-house for tighter tolerances and superior durability.
  • Upgraded Barrel: We’ve upgraded the barrel to our Cold Hammer Forged (CHF), chrome-lined 4150 CMV barrel, providing exceptional accuracy, heat resistance, and barrel life—replacing the former black nitrided option.
  • Adjustable Gas System: The gas system now features our fully adjustable gas block, allowing you to fine-tune your rifle for suppressed or unsuppressed use.
  • Classic Aesthetic with Modern Upgrades: The classic aesthetic remains with our hand-refinished “Apocalypse” wood furniture, battleworn finish, and iconic MDC engraving—but under the hood, it’s a whole new beast.
  • Enhanced Performance: Chambered in 7.62x39 with U.S.-made internals, it delivers superior reliability, accuracy, and versatility in demanding conditions.

    Pestilence ak

    Published by Eric Disabatino on 10/30/2023 02:10:55

    On a scale of 1-10.. it's a 10 for sure .. runs great.. fit and finish is great.. top of the line workmanship.. functions flawlessly.. ( brass or steel case ) due to the adjustable gas piston... I do have questions on taking apart the gas tube for cleaning.. and I need a front sight tool that fits over the sight post.. EXCELLENT RIFLE !

    Love my MDC rifle

    Published by Dave on 09/23/2023 08:09:26

    Not only do i love how well the MDC Pestilence shoots and looks but i love how polarizing it is and the conversations it starts. You will encounter those who lust for it and ask to shoot it and others that will scoff at the fact you “wasted” $2k on a romy parts kit. That is, until they feel the Pestilence in their hands, see the superb finishing up close, and squeeze the trigger and fire off a round. It may not change everyones mind as there will still be those envious few but i love converting nonbelievers.

    Simply the best AK!!!

    Published by Michael Sr. on 08/03/2023 02:08:22

    Without question the pestilence is worth the wait. Out of the box jaw dropping beautiful yet no safe queen here, totally functional and insanely accurate. Great trigger reset and lighter than others in my collection. Paul and Marco were kind when i wanted a change and kept me informed on any updates. Great work guys. Thank you.

    Mall ninja, NOT!

    "Overpriced American made AK" as most haters say. However, with the attention to detail, and the ingenuity that went in to building these ( by American craftsmen ), then to me it's one heck of a bargain. Even if you don't have the means to buy one, then may I suggest save as much doll hairs as you can. Simply skip a few of those times buying the fellas a round of drinks, or the nights out on the town and you'll have the money in no time. Buy cheap, buy twice!" Any red blooded gun aficionados will always want something nicer, so why not start near the top. Yes, it is unwise to pay too much, BUT, it's worse to pay too little. I've said it before with my other MD, cool stuff ain't cheap, cheap stuff ain't cool. Nothing wrong with the cheap run of the mill AKs, but none of them turn will turn heads in the range. To those that dare say they don't care about that, then I call BS. I have close to 1k rounds fired with zero malfunction. I am no expert like Robski and the likes of him so I will limit my shooting feedback to just one word; SWEET!
