Magpul B.A.D Lever - Battery Assist Device
Details
Details
The Magpul B.A.D. Lever (Battery Assist Device) is designed to address the challenges of reloading and malfunction clearance that can arise with the AR-15/M16 platform. The B.A.D. Lever significantly improves the bolt catch by extending a paddle on the right side of the weapon, allowing the shooter to manipulate the bolt stop from the natural ready position with the right-hand trigger finger, resulting in faster and more efficient handling.
The B.A.D. Lever is constructed from high-quality billet 6061-T6 aluminum and features an anti-snag profile and textured surface for enhanced grip. It is compatible with MIL-SPEC forged AR-15/M16 receivers and attaches to the existing bolt catch paddle via one screw. The device is crafted with MIL-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2 hardcoat anodizing, ensuring its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The mounting screw is coated with manganese phosphate and features a Nyloc Blue patch for added security. The device also comes with a Torx wrench for easy installation.
The B.A.D. Lever is incompatible with large frame (7.62x51/.308 Winchester) firearms, most AR-15 billet or polymer upper/lower receivers, or S&W Magpul Spec Series lower receivers. However, it is functional for left and right-handed shooters and allows for conventional bolt catch manipulation. The B.A.D. Lever is an excellent addition to any AR-15/M16 platform, providing enhanced reliability and ease of use in critical situations.

Bad Lever is a Game Changer!
by Edward Bartimmo
For a minimal cost you get huge improvement in operating the weapon! As soon as left hand shoves magazine in the gun your right trigger finger presses down on the BAD lever releasing the bolt. No more fumbling with slapping side on gun. Left hand loads and immediately goes to hold position on forearm rail. Able to transition faster while staying on target. Not to mention ease of locking open your bolt, which now becomes a one handed task. Rack the charging handle back and push the BAD lever up with trigger finger. That easy. Installation is nothing since you are not removing or swapping out any parts. The BAD level has bracket that mounts around the existing slide release button. Just uses 1 screw to hold together. Easy!!!
Simple and easy!
