Description
The Arsenal AR-M14SFT is the civilian semi-auto take on Arsenal's Bulgarian military AR-M14SF TACT, built around a milled receiver and chambered in the ever-popular 7.62×39. With an 8.5-inch barrel and a short gas system, this is a true short-barreled rifle that stays nimble in tight quarters while still throwing the same stout round that made the AK platform famous worldwide. The OD Green polymer furniture gives it a clean, purposeful look that pairs nicely with the Arsenal build quality underneath.
What Sets the AR-M14SFT Apart
Arsenal mills each receiver from a hot-die hammer-forged steel blank, a process that produces stronger, finer-grained steel than stamped builds. That forging and milling work is time-intensive, but the payoff is a receiver with tight tolerances and real durability. You get a front sight and gas block combination, ribbed polymer handguards with a stainless steel heatshield underneath, an ambidextrous safety, and a scope rail on the receiver for mounting optics. Rear QD attachment points are built into both sides, so slinging it up works for lefties and righties alike.
Folding Stock and 7.62×39 Performance
The tactical aluminum right-side folding buttstock is the headliner here. Fold it over and the whole rifle shrinks down for transport, storage, or working in confined spaces, then snap it back out and you're ready to run. The muzzle is threaded 24×1.5mm right-hand and wears a muzzle nut with a thread protector, giving you the option to swap in a brake or other compatible device down the road. Feeding the 8.5-inch barrel is the legendary 7.62×39 cartridge, known for reliable performance and plenty of thump at close to medium range.
Magazine and Build Quality
It ships with one 30-round M-47W Circle 10 magazine, widely considered among the finest AK-pattern mags made. These waffle-pattern magazines use steel-reinforced feed lips, a metal front strap for rigidity, and machined steel locking lugs for a rock-solid fit. For anyone who wants a compact Bulgarian-milled SBR with the genuine Arsenal pedigree, the AR-M14SFT delivers the goods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AR-M14SFT a true SBR or a pistol?
This is a factory-built short-barreled rifle with an 8.5-inch barrel and a genuine folding buttstock, not a pistol with a brace. It comes configured as an SBR straight from Arsenal. Because of that, picking one up involves the usual NFA process that goes with any short-barreled rifle.
Does the AR-M14SFT have a milled or stamped receiver?
It uses a milled receiver, machined from a hot-die hammer-forged steel blank by Arsenal. Hammer forging produces stronger, finer-grained steel than a typical stamped build. The result is a rifle with tight tolerances and the kind of durability Arsenal is known for.
Is the muzzle on the AR-M14SFT threaded?
Yes, the barrel is threaded 24×1.5mm right-hand and comes with a muzzle nut and thread protector installed. That gives you the option to install a compatible brake or other muzzle device down the line. The threading is a common standard for 7.62×39 AK-pattern rifles.
What magazine comes with the AR-M14SFT?
It ships with one 30-round M-47W Circle 10 waffle-pattern magazine, which many consider the gold standard for AK mags. These feature steel-reinforced feed lips, a metal front strap, and machined steel locking lugs for a reliable lockup. They run with standard AK-pattern 7.62×39 magazines if you want to add more.
