The AR-SF is the short-barrel configuration of the Arsenal AR-M1 family – the Bulgarian-manufactured AK-derivative exported to armed forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, and multiple programs since 2000 – listed alongside the full-length variants in the Atlas’ semi-automatic rifles catalog section. The 215mm barrel reduces muzzle velocity to 700 m/s, sighting range to 500m, and folded overall length to 550mm, compared with the AR-M1’s 415mm configuration. The AR-SF and full-length AR-M1 variants maintain 5.56×45mm cartridge compatibility and STANAG magazine feed.
