Century Arms BFT 556 Semi-Auto Rifle, 16.25″ Barrel

Product Description

The Century Arms BFT 556 is a semi-auto rifle with a 16.2″ barrel and a capacity of 30+1 rounds. Semi-auto means one pull of the trigger fires one shot, and the action cycles on its own to chamber the next.

The numbers that define this rifle are simple. The 16.2″ barrel gives you a carbine-length rifle, and the 30+1 capacity means a full magazine plus one in the chamber, so you spend less time reloading at the range. The manufacturer part number is RI5042-N, which helps when you are matching accessories or paperwork.

Who it suits

This rifle fits shooters who want a straightforward semi-auto for target practice, training sessions and general range use. If you are building a first rifle setup or adding another one to the safe, the semi-auto action and high capacity keep things easy to run.

Gear that pairs well with it includes a sling, extra magazines, an optic or sights of your choice, a padded case, a cleaning kit, and ear and eye protection. Pick accessories that match the rifle’s mounting and magazine setup before you order. Century Arms is the brand behind the BFT 556, and Western Sport ships it to your local FFL for transfer.
