Magpul BAD Lever

Just got one of these babies after seeing one in another post. This has to be the most useful add-on mod I've ever come across. Obviously, the bolt release catch should have been on the right of the receiver to start with...

... but this genius device rectifies that and possibly makes bolt lock/release even more efficient than if they had put the catch on the right. If you splash out on one thing for your AR this year, then this should be it...

I have the BAD levers on all my AR's, and like them. They make getting the gun back in action quick, and they also make locking the bolt back easier.

The only thing you may find with them though, is when you lock the bolt back "administratively", things seem to be a little more sensitive, especially while handling the gun, or putting it down on a hard surface.

If you like them and have an M1A, youll probably like these too.
