The BAD Authority Elite upper receiver stands as a testament to precision engineering and robust design. At its core lies the billet BAD556, crafted from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum. This material choice ensures both strength and lightweight handling—qualities essential for any serious shooter.
Designed with versatility in mind, this upper receiver incorporates integral ambidextrous controls, making it equally suited for left or right-handed use. The free-float rail handguard enhances accuracy by eliminating barrel pressure, while M-LOK attachment points positioned at 3", 6", and 9 o'clock allow seamless customization of accessories.
A full-length Picatinny accessory rail occupies the 12 o'clock position. Its signature notch cut aligns perfectly with the upper receiver, providing an uninterrupted platform for optics and other tactical enhancements.
Durability meets precision through the employment of a black nitride finished barrel made from 4150 chrome-moly steel—a combination that promises longevity without sacrificing shot placement consistency. Furthermore, each barrel is individually head-spaced along with a matching bolt fabricated from high-strength 9310 steel paired with an 8620 black nitride carrier. This meticulous pairing guarantees unmatched reliability and simplifies maintenance routines.
The BAD Authority Elite isn't merely about superior materials; it's about delivering uncompromising performance when it matters most.
