Battle Arms Development AUTHORITY ELITE 16" Complete Upper – 5.56 NATO
The Battle Arms Development (B.A.D.) AUTHORITY ELITE Complete Upper (BAD-AUTH-UR16B-Y-15C) represents the pinnacle of the B.A.D. lineup, moving beyond standard duty specs into the realm of elite performance and precision engineering. This 16-inch upper is designed for the professional end-user who demands a lightweight, high-speed system without sacrificing structural rigidity. The heart of the Authority Elite is its 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium barrel, featuring a 1:7 twist and a Black Nitride finish, ensuring match-grade accuracy and extreme longevity under harsh firing schedules.
The Authority Elite distinguishes itself with a precision-machined forged 7075-T6 aluminum receiver and the lightweight 15-inch RIGIDRAIL M-LOK handguard. This rail system is engineered to provide maximum cooling and accessory mounting space while maintaining a slim, ergonomic profile. To ensure smooth, reliable operation, this upper includes a Black Nitride Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) and the BAD RACK-15 C Ambidextrous Charging Handle. The "C" model is the compact variant of the RACK system, offering a streamlined, snag-free profile that allows for lightning-fast, one-handed manipulation from either side of the rifle.
Includes: Complete Upper Receiver, Black Nitride BCG, BAD RACK-15 C Compact Ambi Charging Handle, and A2 Flash Hider.
