First and foremost, I have the Battle Arms Development, BAD-EMC-IC cast, enhanced mag catch. The magazine release on this gun is a little different. If you like that one better it’s roughly the same price as the Magpul so pick that one up! Magazine Release does make a custom grip that has their branding and design. So I wanted her to have something, a little different and something she would like as far as the grip goes.īut the nice thing about the pistol grip is you can buy your own, put whatever you want on it, and you’re good to go.ī.A.D. It does have a tacky rubberized feel to it and truth be told, I built this gun for my wife. Now you can buy the upper and lower of the BAD 5.56-LW separate, and then you can build it out, which is what I did.įor mine, I put the Magpul MOE+ grip on this. It’s very smooth safety, easy to move to fire, and easy to put on safe. I do like the ambidextrous nature of the safety and it flows really well. Obviously, that’s reversible, I’m right-handed, so the shorter throw on the trigger finger side is better for me. It does mirror what the Radian safety selectors have and on the left side, I have the long throw, and on the right, I have the short throw. The safety selector switch function, it’s really nice. If you want the lite, I don’t think you’re going to save enough weight on a safety selector switch to matter, but if you want to keep it consistent and on the model, by all means, buy the lite version. They make a light version for this, but this is just the regular BAD-ASS-PRO selector. Safetyįirst, I’ll talk about the safety selector switch and the one that I currently use on my gun is the BAD-ASS-PRO. So with that being said, let’s jump into the parts.

I have the set, which is the upper and the lower, as well as most of the Battle Arms accessories and lower parts. The one that I’m going to mostly talk about today is their higher-end BAD 5.56-LW. Namely, the Workhorse is probably their most popular 5.56 AR. Battle Arms Development Featuresīattle Arms Development makes a handful of guns. So, we may refer to it as BAD for short or Battle Arms Development in its entirety. Battle Arms Development is often abbreviated B.A.D. They have an incredibly light setup and an extremely fun and unique look. They create custom rails, custom uppers, custom lowers, and they really have, to me, one of the best skeletonized, sets for an upper and lower. They are interesting in that they were one of the original companies to really take a customized take on the AR-15. About Battle Arms Developmentīattle Arms Development is a company based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. I liked the fact it offered lightweight and a unique design. A lot can be said about Battle Arms Development from their crazy-looking guns to their lab coats and wild Shot Show display’s they are a unique company, that’s for sure.īut that’s not the reason I picked up the BAD556-LW upper and lower set to build out my latest AR-15.
