Century Arms BFT47 Review: The American-Made AK Built with RPK Durability

Century Arms BFT47 Review: The American-Made AK Built with RPK Durability (1.5mm & Bulged Forged Trunnion) 📝 YouTube Description We take a detailed look at the Century Arms BFT47, Century’s flagship American-made AK chambered in the traditional 7.62x39mm cartridge. The "BFT" in the name stands for Bulged Forged Trunnion, directly addressing the major durability concerns of Century’s previous US-made models. This rifle is designed to compete directly with top-tier imports by incorporating premium, heavy-duty features. Why the BFT47 Stands Out: RPK-Grade Foundation: The rifle features a reinforced build, utilizing a forged 4140 steel bulged front trunnion and a 1.5mm thick stamped steel receiver (thicker than standard 1.0mm AKMs). This RPK-style construction significantly enhances the rifle's lifespan and ability to handle high-volume use. Quality Components: Includes a 16.25" 4150 Chrome Moly Steel Barrel and a carburized 4140 steel bolt. While the barrel is typically not chrome-lined (unlike the Zastava M70), the material and construction are a major step up from earlier Century designs. Enhanced Controls: Comes standard with the RAK-1 Enhanced Trigger Group, an enhanced safety selector with a bolt hold-open notch, an extended magazine catch, and a side scope rail for optics mounting. The BFT47 represents Century's serious commitment to offering a reliable, durable, and feature-rich American-made AK for the blue-collar shooter. 🔑 Keywords Century Arms BFT47 Review, BFT47 Core, American AK-47, Bulged Forged Trunnion, 1.5mm Receiver AK, RAK-1 Trigger, USA Made AK, 7.62x39, Century Arms Durability ﹟ Hashtags #BFT47 #CenturyArms #AK47 #762x39 #BulgedTrunnion #AmericanAK #GunReview #PewPew
