I've seen this Magpul BAD Lever being mentioned a lot. I may even have read there was an issue with them or something on certain guns? ( I'm building a MEGA upper/lower) but I could be wrong.
But I've also seen other similar ones out there I think. So is the Magpul the best one or is there A better one out there? |

Best? No; Cheap alternative? Yes.
Phase 5 Tactical has tacticool versioin: BAD |

That one does look pretty sweet, I do like it. I mean, $50, $30, its all funny money these days, who cares lol Is that Phase 5 one of the best ones out there? What's is made out of? They dont seem to mention it on the website? I was planning on getting the Mega lower with Ambi release - so I guess with one of these levers, is that model not needed? Or would the Ambi still work fine if one of these levers were installed? |

I don't know about better, but here are a couple more that haven't been mentioned:

| The Magpul BAD is great. It is made of metal and fits very well and is extremely easy to install.. I have installed it on my SOG that has a 512 Eotech with the GG&G accucam mounting system, also excellent. I put the BAD on because I felt that with the Eotech mounted it was slightly in the way when attempting to "slap" the bolt release. Now I dont even have to address that issue and can drop the bolt with my trigger finger. This gets me back on target quicker after a mag. change. |
