BATTLE ARMS DEVELOPMENT XIPHOS001 Xiphos | 16″ | 30+1

The Battle Arms Development Xiphos (XIPHOS001) is an AR-style, blow-back platform built around a billet BAD-GS 7075-T6 aluminum receiver and a free-float M-LOK handguard. It features a 16″ 4150 chrome-moly steel barrel and an 8620 steel black nitride bolt for durability and straightforward maintenance. Controls are ambidextrous or enhanced where specified, and the rifle ships with a combat-gray full-length Picatinny rail for optics and accessories. For a reliable, sub-$1000 optic that pairs well with this platform, consider the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 for fast target acquisition and versatility across range work and competition.

Applications: range training and PCC-style competition or recreational target shooting are well suited to this platform.
