I have a friend looking at Noveske forged billet upper. He'd like to know if there will be any clearance issues with his Magpul BAD lever. If so, does anyone know if any of the one-piece BHO/BAD-style levers will work instead?

Should work fine they mainly have issues with billet receivers.
I was born an AR in my hands. Behind the gun I will make my final stand, and that is why they call me .... bad company I cannot deny.... Bad company till the day I die.

I doubt it will work without heavy modifications and Magpul even will tell you not to use on billet setups.

I doubt the Magpul BAD will work due to the clamp on the back of the bolt catch. The Phase 5 one piece lever should work since the lever is actually welded to the face of the bolt catch and doesn't extend out the back any where the bolt catch fits into the upper reciever pocket that is machined for it.

I have a Noveske with a 12" VIS upper and the BAD lever works just fine on it. So it should work on the 10".

I have one of the Project Ares offerings, it has the Vltor MUR upper receiver. I have the Magpul Bad lever on it and it works fine. You asked for a few pics, hope these help.

It's technically not a billet upper, it's forged, and it's a rebadged vltor vis or vltor mur (depending if you get the monolithic upper or not).

They work.
