Please post if your B.A.D. device does or does not work - this way we can figure out how many people are actually having problems and maybe get some momentum towards a fix...
Mine does not work on either of my spike's lower for example |
|
Works like a charm on my:
Noveske rifle BCM rifle LMT rifles Does not hold bolt back on S&W M&P 15-22, but this has nothing to do with the B.A.D. lever itself. |
|
Wouldn't this "problem" be more to do with the strength or weakness of the bolt catch spring, and not the receiver or BAD?

Bolt catch spring doesn't do anything about causing the BAD to fail unless it's so stiff that it's not allowing the magazine spring to actuate the bolt catch. I have yet to see a bolt catch spring this stiff, otherwise you'd never be able to lock the bolt back, regardless of BAD or not. |
|
Works on my Dpms and on my Colt
Does not fit on Tactical Innovations Billet Lowers, hits and rubs on the beefed up receiver Phase 5 tacticals EBR works on Tactical Innovation lowers though |
|
GTG on the following of my rifles (current and past)
-Bushmaster -Smith&Wesson -DPMS -RRA -Tactical Innovations -CMMG -Spikes Currently have a BAD lever waiting for the LWRC rifle I have on order.....not expecting issues. |
|
Remember - this isn't a bash, it's just statistics....trying to collect the data to see if it's viable to press the issue.
|
|
It does not work with a Shrubmaster Carbon 15 upper (at the bottom of the upper, there is a lip that leverages the BAD).
|
|
Works just fine on my Spike's SL-15, my RRA LAR-15, and my M&P 15-22. Had to mod the lower and BAD lever for the M&P though!
|
|
Works fine on Spike's, had to bend mine just a little to work on my Stag, and the only reason it rubbed was because of the front-to-back play in the lever. If it would stay all the way to the rear, it worked fine. But if the lever got pushed forward it would rub. GTG on my DPMS lower as well.

|
Have a BAD Lever on my LMT and RRA with no issues.
Haven' decided if I'm putting one on my LaRue but when I'm done with my Noveske it will get a BAD. |
|
Works for the most part on my LMT with 30s (just a couple of failures) but flat-out does not work my PMAG 20s. Adding and H buffer seems to have helped, but a Middy shouldn't need one, and the rifle functioned perfectly before adding the BAD. Hope there's a fix for this.

Fails to lock back on my Noveske with MUR but I have a feeling the issue is the MUR geometry and not the lower.
Anyone else have issues running a BAD with a MUR? |

No, I have a Noveske with VIS which is basically a MUR with a monlithic rail and My BAD works fine. GTG rifles for me, Bushmaster Noveske POF USFA |
|
Have them on Eagle Arms, Bushmaster and PWA pre-ban lowers and have had ZERO problems..
|
|
No problems on the following lowers.
RRA Stag DPMS CMMG Colt |
|
Works with:
RRA Lower - RRA LPK Spikes Lower - DD LPK Spikes Lowe - Stag LPK |
|
I just put on on yesterday and went shooting. Any and all issues i had were with my lack of practice. I still kept trying to smack the pingpong paddle forgetting I had the BAD on there.
THere was not any functional issues. |
|
mine works but its a bit wobbly, i am thinking some sort of thin washer on the paddle hinge may cure it.
edit to add: havent noticed any issues with my double star lower, noticed it randomly occur with my RRA. |
|
Works well on 3 lowers I tried it on.
I am guessing that the people having issues are using something that is out of spec... |
|
Mine all Work Perfectly
I have them on 4 Noveske 2 Defensive Edge 1 RRA |
|
Works on:
Colt 6920 lower Colt 6940 lower LMT Defender lower DOES NOT WORK: LWRCI Lower Locks the bolt back every time. I think it is simply a stiff spring and not a fault of the lever or its design. |
|
Works fine on my Sun Devil lower. Also worked perfectly on my issued Colt M4.
|
|
Works on all my lowers
Except my MAGPUL CHINA DOLL go figure. ~HSP |
|
Works fine on 6 Anvil Arms lowers, 1 Spikes, 1 LMT, 1 Colt, and 1 CMMG.
|
|
I don't vent, but I'm gonna do it. My BAD doesn't fit on my SR-25 bolt release. THIS IS BULLSHIT! HOW DARE THEY!!!
Oh wait...not an AR15. Sorry, mah bad! |
|
Im confused.. a theory based product that might not work on everything, for everyone is to be fixed so that it does work on everything/everyone? I understand the complaint that it physically doesnt work on X lower with Y part, but this is an industry where not everyone makes all lowers and parts to the same standards, or even size.
Maybe Im weird and totally wrong... but whatever.. |
|
I think, partly, that people are hoping to find some sort of common denominator to diagnose why it doesn't work for person A but does for person B.
I'd offer to add my experience to the data set, but I'm a little fuzzy on what worked (or not) and when because I haven't been shooting in a while. |
|
Oh..It looked to me like someone was wanting Magpul to fix it for them. I seem to recall a thread elsewhere that looked into at home fixes for this very reason.

ZERO problems with my Noveske lower. I love my B.A.D. |
|
Works fine with every AR lower I own, Spike, Double Star, and Superior Arms.
|
|
I have a RRA lower that the BAD doesn't really fit on. The screw hole wont line up and the hex head stripped out which leaves the BAD loose on that gun.
Hasn't fallen off yet, but I know it will during the first fun-n-gun. |
|
Does not work on my DMPS AP4 lower. No rubbing or contact with lower, just the bolt catch.

Does not work on my Tactical Innovations Lower and VLTOR MUR upper. Still have plenty of other Magpul products on the rifle

I have three that work perfectly on my S&W M&P15T and 2 Spikes lowers with DD Parts kits.
