Ordered a set direct yesterday. The pins on my LMT are a pain in the butt. Can't wait to give these a try.
BAD ASS was already a must for any build. May be adding these to the list. |

The EMR and EBC will probably be introduced very close together, we'll finalize the design on both of them very soon

We're working with Seekins on a Battle Arms version, which has a few things we want that will be a little different than the Seekins original. But Seekins will be producing them for us.
Same quality, the Battle Arms version will bear family resemblance that are unique to our levers and EMR, there's couple other minor changes as well

The prototype units are not threaded, therefore not usable on a lower. They are meant to test out the theory we have on the button

Duffy have you gotten to handle their lower? I just saw one for the first time online and am really thinking of buying it over the AXTS AX556, considering both are true billet ambi lowers... but the STT-15 comes in at over $100 less. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It's really a nice lower, the only thing some folks didn't like, which has since been corrected, is the right side bolt release. It's now closer to the receiver body, before it was jutting out at an angle.
They may be running another special for Christmas that includes our selector and EPS, you should contact Dennis and find out. Dennis is a great guy, I think there's a lot of good things to come from his company

What's the significance of the 9mm round next to the EPP? The bullet guide (shallow dimple on the pin tip of the EPS) makes it easy to use a bullet or a tool's tip to push the pin in without unduly scratching the receiver. Not all AR15 style receivers chamber 5.56mm, so the bullet guide is made large enough to accommodate caliber as large as 9mm, and everything in between. It's one of the features that highlights the thought and research that went into the EPS

That is awesome to hear! I contacted them via their web form on Friday and hoping to hear back from them soon. If they are running such a deal I am most certainly getting their lower with your parts. I LOVE the BAD-ASS selector and the pin set is just icing on the cake. For a personal rifle it's almost necessary in the field.

Video how to change rear pin without removing castle nut is very helpful - HK does stack nut pretty good. |

Will these work on a colt sporter with a screw on pivot pin?

[#25]
As long as the pivot pin hole is 0.250 and the pivot pin spring / detent housing has a hole to accommodate a spring and detent, it'll work.
If yours has a 0.315 pivot pin hole, it will not work

I have a request though. I would love to see levers for the BAD CASS system in a length exactly half way between the short and long levers. The long is, well, too long and the short takes a little too much force to move even after shortening the spring. I think just a bit more length on a short one would greatly enhance the leverage without it getting in the way during use. I know I'm splitting hairs but its worth a shot. |

Posted: 12/23/2013 5:12:51 AM EDT
[#28]
Any suggestion as to the length?
We thought about a "mid-length" lever, we weren't sure how to position it, whether as a thumb side lever (with less leverage than a standard lever), or a trigger finger side lever (more usable, but more interference for the trigger finger at the same time). |

They will work on the HK416, not sure about the MR556 though, since they need a tool or bullet to unlock. If the MR556 still uses the 0.250 holes for the take down and pivot pin, and there are no changes in the receiver to accommodate the locking aspects of the pins, ours should work just fine.

As far as length I would say dead center between the long and short lever. As far as placement I would probably use it on both side but the thumb side for sure. I'm running 2 shorts on the 45 short throw system. |

Modification is only in pins, receivers are standard. Those HK pins are actually good at removing play between receivers, but very early MR223 rifles had standard pins from HK416 and play was minimal anyway (I had one of those very early rifles). I was going to replace them with standard pins, but when I saw your pins listed in Brownells, I knew I want them

I'm running 2 shorts on the 45 short throw system. I did not use BAD-ASS 45dgr, but I use other make 45dgr safety (Hera - uses similar length for levers). I also think that for 45dgr option lever length in between those two would be improvement. Especially thumb side, as mentioned. |

Thanks, good to know. We don't have an HK MR556 in the shop to play around, I reckon we may have to get one, for T&E of course
RE: intermediate length lever, we need to discuss this internally. As mentioned, I had thought about it but did not pursue it because it seems to be neither here nor there, but we will look into it. Given the number of levers we already have, it'll add to the logistics mess we kind of created by offering so many different levers already. Options are good for customers, it's somewhat a nightmare for us and dealers lol. |

The serrations would, of course, be on the angled surface facing the rear of the rifle. Continuing the serrations over the side wouldn't be a bad idea either. I use various combinations of levers based on lower, but I've always been partial to the thin and short-thin, but I find myself using the hybrid on rifles with selector stops.
