Let me start off by saying that I am NOT trying to start a witch hunt here, but others need to be made aware of this. Through recent forum browsing, interaction and speaking with other friends in the gun community, I have concluded that Battle Arms Development has a copycat. I know of a few incidents where these have been listed as "BAD-ASS Levers" but are clearly NOT made by Battle Arms Development. The place that sells them is DefensePackage.com

Here are some pics comparing them with my genuine Battle Arms Development parts. Just keep you eyes out for fakes trying to sell "BAD-ASS levers" for cheap. You can make your own conclusions by looking at the pics...

the copy sure looks real bad

So which one is real or fake ?

I just bought some of the cheaper one's right now. Thanks.
Just kidding..

The beautifully machined metal one it real. The piece of shit is fake.

What?

The two in your OP don't look alike at all. Moreover, the two in from the web pages don't look the same.

There are Chinese made ARs that would retail for under $200 if import was allowed.  ALL AR parts are available from China, accessories included.  Sure, they aren't "supposed" to be imported, but neither are drugs.

Just be careful what you buy, that $89  BCG may not be such a good deal after all....

Thanks for the heads up, was just looking at getting a set of these for one of my ARs, BTW I just discovered your youtube channel.. great videos.

You are welcome and that's cool! I hope you can find some of them helpful :)
