Plenty of companies bolt ambi parts onto a standard AR and call it a day. Battle Arms Development went a different route with the Authority Elite, machining the ambidextrous controls directly into the billet BAD556 receiver set. The safety is their BAD-ASS-PRO, the mag release and bolt release work from either side, and the RACK ambidextrous charging handle keeps everything running the same whether you shoot right or left handed. It is one of the cleaner ambi setups you will find on a production rifle, and the fit between the billet 7075-T6 upper and lower reflects the attention to detail Battle Arms is known for.
The 16 inch medium profile barrel is 4150 chrome-moly steel with a black nitride finish inside and out, chambered in .223 Wylde so it handles both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington with match-friendly accuracy. The 1:8 twist stabilizes everything from lightweight varmint loads up to heavier 77 grain match bullets. A mid-length gas system smooths out the recoil impulse and eases wear on the moving parts, and each barrel is individually headspaced to its 9310 steel bolt with an 8620 nitride carrier. The 1/2×28 threaded muzzle leaves the door open for your favorite brake or suppressor.
At 6.1 pounds bare, this rifle carries easy and swings fast. The 15 inch WORKHORSE free-float handguard gives you M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock plus a full-length Picatinny top rail with the signature Battle Arms notch cut that matches the upper. There are no iron sights out of the box, so the flat top is a blank canvas for a red dot or LPVO. A 6-position B5 Bravo stock adjusts from 33.25 to 36.75 inches overall, and the enhanced nickel Teflon trigger breaks noticeably cleaner than the mil-spec triggers most factory rifles ship with. The BATTLEARMS gray finish over black furniture gives it a look that stands apart from the sea of plain black ARs on the rack. One 30-round magazine comes in the box.
Yes. The .223 Wylde chamber is designed to safely run 5.56 NATO pressures while holding tighter tolerances than a standard 5.56 chamber. That means you get the flexibility to shoot either cartridge along with better accuracy potential, especially with match-grade .223 loads.
They are, and not as an afterthought. The ambi controls are machined into the billet BAD556 receiver itself, including the BAD-ASS-PRO safety selector plus mirrored magazine and bolt releases. It also ships with the RACK ambidextrous charging handle, so left-handed users get the same experience as righties.
No, the Authority Elite ships optics ready with a bare full-length Picatinny top rail. That rail runs continuously from the receiver across the 15 inch handguard, giving you plenty of real estate for a red dot, magnifier, LPVO, or backup iron sights of your choosing.
The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 TPI, which is the standard thread pitch for 5.56 muzzle devices and suppressor mounts, so adding a can or brake is straightforward. The mid-length gas system also tends to run smoother when suppressed compared to carbine-length setups.
