The Century Arms BFT47 CORE (RI4317-X) represents American-made AK reliability designed from the ground up to deliver durability and accuracy at an affordable price point. Built entirely in the USA, the BFT47 (Bulged Forged Trunnion) features a bulged and forged 4140 steel front trunnion—borrowing design cues from the legendary VEPR for increased strength and stability. With a carburized 4140 steel bolt, 1.5mm heat-treated stamped 4130 steel receiver, manganese phosphate finish, and a 16" 1:10 chrome-moly 4150 steel barrel, this rifle is engineered to operate under stress with all commercially available ammunition.
The BFT47 CORE includes Century's single-stage RAK-1 Enhanced Trigger Group with machined release surfaces for a smooth, consistent trigger pull. The rifle features a bayonet lug, steel cleaning rod (included), and a front sight block with a height-adjustable post paired with a notched rear tangent sight calibrated from 100 to 800 meters. Simply put, this rifle is designed from the trunnion out to "Just Keep Going."
This unique configuration features a fluted barrel for enhanced cooling and distinctive aesthetics, paired with classic wood furniture including a rare half dong handguard—a distinctive forward grip that provides excellent control and a classic Soviet-era aesthetic. The polymer pistol grip offers reliable ergonomics, and this concept build includes a side scope mount for easy optics installation. Finished with a slant muzzle brake for recoil control.
