This review is from: Magpul B.A.D. Lever ; Battery Assist Device (Misc.)
I've got really mixed feelings about Magpul's B.A.D. lever. I think it's a phenomenal idea, and I think they created a mostly high quality item to achieve their design. However, I've been forced to stop running mine and return it.
The BAD lever, when installed properly on my M&P15, did not allow the bolt catch paddle to rest naturally and open all the way. Because of the curve of the gun just above the paddle (as on all AR-15's), the bolt catch was always slightly engaged. Add to this the fact that the BAD lever changes the weight on the sensitive bolt catch, and in doing so, changes the pivot point just a bit, and you get a bolt catch that hits the lower face of my bolt carrier group and causes some wear damage. Super unfortunate! After consulting with people on ar15.com, the consensus was get the BAD lever off!
I also found that while using the BAD lever made operation of the bolt catch super easy, it lead to bad habits. I removed it and found myself at a loss for... Read more

I must use my left hand for the charging handle because of loss of some movement in my right hand due to a stroke. This work great for me. I thank the Lord my trigger finger still works good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent but had to modify it, March 21, 2011

I bought this based on reviews and Magpul's reputation but didn't think about how it attached to the "ping pong paddle". If you have a Sig516 as I do you will have to grind away a portion of it due to the ambidextrous mag release and cut out. Maybe there was other or better solutions out there but since I had this already in hand I decided to make it work. Now that I have modified it, it works great and is a nice addition for us right handed shooters to charge the bolt after it locks to rear on an empty mag.
