Frequently Asked Questions
Can the BFT556 accept standard AK or AR-platform magazines?
The Century Arms BFT556 uses a modified AK-pattern magazine well designed specifically for 5.56×45mm magazines. It accepts standard 5.56 AK-style magazines similar to those used with the Galil and other 5.56 AK variants. It is not compatible with standard AR-15 STANAG magazines or 7.62×39mm AK magazines, so be sure to source 5.56-compatible AK-pattern mags for use with this rifle.
Is this rifle California-compliant as sold at Goodland Guns?
California has strict regulations regarding magazine capacity and certain rifle features. As sold, the BFT556 includes a 30-round magazine, which exceeds California's standard capacity limit of 10 rounds. Goodland Guns ensures all sales comply with California law, so please consult with our team in store regarding compliant configuration options before purchasing.
What kind of ammunition does the BFT556 feed reliably?
The BFT556 is chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO and is designed to feed a wide range of both 5.56×45mm NATO and .223 Remington ammunition. Its manganese phosphate-finished barrel and forged trunnion construction are built to handle sustained firing sessions. For best reliability and longevity, use quality brass-cased or steel-cased 55–62 grain FMJ or soft-point ammunition from reputable manufacturers.
