The MCX Virtus in 7.62x39mm uses a barrel and bolt conversion with an AK-pattern magazine adapter, offering the MCX platform in the AK cartridge. The short-stroke piston system handles 7.62x39's dirtier combustion better than DI-AR systems, and the folding stock makes it a compact package for the cartridge. A niche variant for shooters who want MCX ergonomics with AK-caliber performance. Type: Rifle Action: Semi-Automatic Caliber: 7.62x39mm Capacity: 30 Year introduced: 2018, USA Weight: 6.7 oz Overall length: 35" Status: Active Intended use: hunting, duty
