The heart of the BAD Authority Elite upper receiver is the billet BAD556 7075-T6 aircraft grade aluminum receiver with integral ambidextrous controls and free-float rail handguard with M-LOK attachment points at 3″ 6″ and 9 o’clock positions. At 12 o’clock is a full-length Picatinny accessory rail with their signature notch cut matching the upper receiver. The Authority Elite upper receiver is equipped with a 4150 chrome-moly steel black nitride barrel for durability and accuracy. The barrel is individually head-spaced with matching 9310 steel bolt and 8620 black nitride carrier for ultimate reliability and ease of cleaning.
