Battle Arms Development Patrol Carbine .223 Rem/5.56X45 NATO - Workhorse Series
The Battle Arms Development Patrol Carbine represents the pinnacle of the acclaimed Workhorse series - firearms engineered specifically for duty and hard use applications. This rifle embodies the philosophy that when lives are on the line, reliability and performance cannot be compromised. Purpose-built for law enforcement, military personnel, and serious civilian users who demand unwavering dependability, the Patrol Carbine delivers professional-grade performance in every component.
Aerospace Grade Foundation
At the core of this rifle lies Battle Arms Development's forged BAD-15 receiver set, machined from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum. This premium alloy provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining the dimensional stability required for precision shooting. The forged construction creates a grain structure that's inherently stronger than billet alternatives, ensuring this rifle can withstand the rigors of professional use while maintaining accuracy over thousands of rounds.
The free-float rail handguard system incorporates M-LOK attachment points strategically positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, providing versatile mounting options for lights, lasers, grips, and other essential accessories. The 12 o'clock position features a full-length Picatinny accessory rail with Battle Arms Development's signature notch cut that perfectly matches the upper receiver, creating a seamless optics mounting platform.
Premium Barrel System
The heart of accuracy lies in the 16-inch barrel, crafted from 4150 chrome-moly steel and finished with black nitride treatment. This advanced coating process creates a surface harder than chrome lining while maintaining superior corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. The .223 Wylde chamber combines the best attributes of both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington chambers, delivering enhanced accuracy with .223 ammunition while maintaining the reliability and safety margins required for 5.56 NATO rounds.
Each barrel is individually head-spaced with its matching bolt, ensuring optimal timing and extraction reliability. This attention to detail reflects the professional-grade standards that separate duty-ready firearms from recreational rifles.
Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group
The rifle features a precision-matched bolt carrier group consisting of a 9130 steel bolt paired with an 8620 steel carrier finished in black nitride. This combination provides exceptional durability while facilitating easy cleaning and maintenance - critical factors for rifles that must perform reliably under adverse conditions. The individual matching of each bolt to its barrel ensures optimal headspace and extraction reliability throughout the rifle's service life.
Professional-Grade Enhancements
While built for serious use, the Patrol Carbine incorporates numerous enhanced components that elevate it above standard duty rifles. The smooth nickel Teflon trigger provides a crisp, consistent break that enhances accuracy potential without compromising reliability.
Enhanced magazine release and takedown/pivot pins facilitate rapid field stripping and maintenance without requiring tools - a valuable feature for users who must maintain their equipment in challenging environments.
The one-piece magazine catch and billet trigger guard provide enhanced durability and smoother operation, while the enhanced bolt catch ensures a positive last round hold open function. The user-adjustable three-position pistol grip allows customization for different hand sizes and shooting preferences, and the enhanced single-side safety provides positive engagement while maintaining familiar manual of arms.
Ergonomic Stock System
The rifle comes equipped with a B5 Bravo adjustable stock featuring six-position adjustment capability. This professional-grade stock provides exceptional durability while offering quick length of pull adjustments to accommodate different users, gear configurations, or shooting positions. The black polymer grip complements the overall aesthetic while providing secure, comfortable control.
