The BFT47’s core strength comes from its bulged forged 4140 front trunnion matched to a 1.5 mm stamped 4130 steel receiver. This foundation follows the AKM pattern and is paired with a smooth, non-ribbed top cover and a vented gas tube with round ports.
The 16.3 in barrel is 4150 chrome-moly steel and threaded 14x1 LH. A detent-retained AKM slant brake is installed, and rifling is cut with a 1:10 RH twist.
Maple hardwood furniture includes fixed stock and wood handguards finished with a matte oil treatment. The stock has a metal buttplate, a rear sling loop, and a 12.5 in length of pull. A black polymer pistol grip completes the setup.
Iron sights consist of a front post and a tangent rear sight graduated 100–800 m. A left-side Combloc optics rail is installed on the receiver. The RAK-1 single-stage trigger and manual safety selector round out the controls, and the rifle uses the standard AK long-stroke gas system.
