The 7075-T6 billet upper and lower receivers are skeletonized with lightning cuts, an integral X-reinforced trigger guard, and a flared magazine well. Battle Arms integrates ambidextrous magazine release, safety selector, and charging handle controls directly into this BAD556-AMBI receiver set, giving left- and right-handed shooters identical ergonomics.
Its 10.5" 4150 CMV barrel is nitride treated for corrosion resistance and precision-head-spaced to a matched bolt. A multi-prong Battle Arms flash hider is timed on the 1/2-28 TPI threads to reduce muzzle flash and soften perceived recoil.
The 9.5" WORKHORSE free-float rail, machined from billet aluminum, features chevron lightening cuts, a continuous Picatinny top rail, and M-LOK slots for accessories along the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions.
Internally, a Nickel-Teflon coated single-stage trigger promotes a smooth pull, while the polymer pistol grip with molded dimple texturing offers secure handling. The pistol measures 26.75" collapsed and 29.37" extended, balancing compact storage with a stable shooting stance.
Made entirely in the USA and backed by over 40 Battle Arms patents, the Authority Elite delivers premium materials, thoughtful engineering, and proven 5.56×45 mm NATO performance in a maneuverable AR pistol format.
