Description
This is Arsenal's factory short-barreled rifle, a semi-auto civilian version of the Bulgarian-made Military Special Ops AR-M14SF TACT. Chambered in 7.62×39, it runs on a milled receiver forged from a solid steel blank and finished with milling operations, which is the gold standard for AK durability and accuracy over a stamped build. The 8.5" barrel is chrome lined and cold hammer forged, meaning it shrugs off heat, holds up to hard use, and will happily digest corrosive or surplus ammo when you need it to. A short gas system keeps the action reliable with that stubby barrel, and the front sight block and gas block come as a combination unit.
What Sets the Arsenal AR-M14SFT Apart
The standout here is Arsenal's CNC-machined hard-anodized aluminum side-folding stock. It's cut from a single block of aluminum and hard anodized for strength, with heat-treated carbon steel attachment parts, so it gives you better ergonomics in a lighter and tougher package than the old tubular folders. It folds to the right side to shrink the footprint for storage and transport, and includes two non-rotating QD points for a solid, rattle-free sling setup.
Furniture, Threads, and Sighting on the AR-M14SFT
Furniture is black glass-fiber reinforced polymer, with ribbed upper and lower handguards backed by a stainless steel heatshield to keep things cool during longer strings. The muzzle wears 24×1.5mm right-hand threads under a muzzle nut thread protector, so the barrel is set up for compatible AK muzzle devices down the road. You also get an ambidextrous safety, a pistol grip, a left-side scope rail for mounting optics, and rear QD attachment points on both sides.
Feeding comes from Circle 10 magazines, widely regarded as about the strongest and most reliable AK mags you can get. The whole package carries Arsenal's reputation for military-grade fit and finish, making this one of the more serious 7.62×39 SBRs on the market for anyone who wants a compact, folding, hard-use carbine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Arsenal AR-M14SFT barrel threaded?
Yes. The 8.5" chrome-lined hammer-forged barrel is threaded 24×1.5mm right-hand and ships with a muzzle nut thread protector installed. That lets you swap in compatible AK muzzle devices that use the same thread pitch.
What kind of stock does the AR-M14SFT use?
It comes with Arsenal's CNC-machined hard-anodized aluminum right-side folding stock, cut from a single block of aluminum with heat-treated carbon steel attachment parts. It folds to the right side for a more compact footprint and includes two non-rotating QD points for sling attachment.
Does the Arsenal AR-M14SFT have a milled or stamped receiver?
This is a milled-receiver build, made from a hot-die forged solid steel blank that's then machined to spec. Milled receivers are prized for their rigidity and durability, and they're a big part of why Arsenal rifles have the reputation they do.
Can the AR-M14SFT mount an optic?
Yes. It includes a left-side scope rail, which is the standard AK side-mount system for attaching a compatible optic mount. You'll want a side-rail mount matched to the rifle to run a red dot or scope.
