Speed Up The Bolt Catch with this B.A.D. Lever from Magpul

The B.A.D. Lever (Battery Assist Device) is designed to considerably improve the speed and efficiency of the AR15/M16 bolt catch. It quickly addresses reloading and malfunction clearance shortcomings of AR15/M16 platforms by extending a paddle to the right side of the weapon.

It allows the manipulation of the bolt stop from the fire control/ready position with the right-hand trigger finger.

Magpul Bad Lever | Battery Assist Device for AR-15 – MAG980

Designed For Both Left And Right-Handed Shooters

B.A.D. Lever is made from Mil-spec-anodized aluminum and attaches to the standard AR15/M16 bolt release without permanent modification. Designed for both left and right-handed shooters, the B.A.D. Lever also allows traditional bolt catch manipulation according to the AR15/M16 manual of arms.

All mounting hardware included.

Magpul Bad Lever | Battery Assist Device for AR-15 – MAG980

Features:

  • Compatible with standard mil-spec forged AR15/M16 receivers*
  • Thin, anti-snag profile and textured surface still allows for traditional manipulation of the bolt catch while maintaining unobstructed access to the trigger
  • Easy attachment to the existing bolt catch paddle via one screw
  • Machined from durable billet 6061-T6 aluminum
  • Finished with MIL-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2 hard anodizing with manganese phosphate on the screw per MIL-DTL-16232G
  • Torx® mounting screw with Nyloc® Blue patch prevents back out under recoil (Torx wrench included)
  • Made in the U.S.A.

NOTE:

  • *NOT compatible with 7.62×51 (.308 Winchester) firearms as well as most AR15 billet or polymer lower and upper receivers due to their larger and/or non-standard dimensions (including the S&W Magpul Spec Series™ lowers).

Game changer when seconds count

I have these on my two AR’s i bought an AR shotgun and an AR-10. Sadly they don’t fit on those two. But i love the BAD lever system. It makes it so you can lock the bolt back without having to take your hand off the grip. But more importantly for me if I’m in need of fast reload i can slap a new mag in and release the bolt with my trigger finger and get back to shooting! Trying to convince my department to put them on all our patrol AR’s!

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are thrilled to hear that the Magpul Bad Lever has been a game changer for you in critical moments. We apologize that it does not fit on your AR shotgun and AR-10, but we are glad that it has been a valuable addition to your other ARs. We appreciate your support and we hope you are able to convince your department to equip their patrol ARs with the BAD lever as well.

I was impressed with this lever. No muss No fuss. I am building a his & hers set of ARs and I like how this lever makes the bolt release with your finger. No Muss No Fuss! I will be buying again for my other ARs in the future.
