Overview
The Battle Arms Xiphos series represents a meticulously engineered evolution in blow-back AR-style pistol caliber firearms. Designed for discerning operators, the Xiphos-005 integrates advanced materials and an enhanced component set to deliver consistent performance and reliable function. This platform is built to a high standard, focusing on durability and user ergonomics for a superior shooting experience.
Key Features
Receiver & Handguard System
The foundation of the Xiphos-005 is its billet BAD-GS 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum receiver. This material selection ensures a robust, lightweight, and dimensionally stable core for the firearm. The integrated free-float rail handguard complements the receiver, featuring M-LOK attachment points at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions for modular accessory integration. A full-length Picatinny accessory rail at 12 o’clock, with a signature notch cut, provides a consistent mounting surface for optics and aiming devices.
Barrel & Bolt Group
Precision and longevity are ensured through the use of a 4150 chrome-moly steel barrel, providing excellent wear resistance and ballistic consistency. The blow-back operating system incorporates an 8620 steel black nitride bolt, chosen for its exceptional reliability, resistance to fouling, and simplified maintenance. This combination optimizes the firearm’s operational cycle for consistent feeding and extraction.
Enhanced Controls & Ergonomics
The Xiphos-005 is equipped with the RACK ambidextrous charging handle, featuring a monolithic handle and a smooth-side sliding latch, engineered for robust manipulation under demanding conditions. Further enhancements include an extended magazine release for rapid reloads, enhanced takedown and pivot pins for tool-less field stripping, a one-piece magazine catch for improved retention, and an enhanced bolt catch for positive engagement. The adjustable three-position pistol grip and enhanced single-side safety provide tailored ergonomics and intuitive control.
