Most Helpful Positive Review B.A.D. Lever Review
This Magpul B.A.D. lever was easy to install. It works great to either hold the bolt open or release the bolt with your trigger finger. I will order more "B.A.D. Levers" for other AR's. Great product
Most Helpful Negative Review Dont put things in your trigger guard.
In competition shooting I have seen multiple DQs because this stupid thing leads to NDs. Why? Because having anything other than the trigger in your trigger guard is an incredibly stupid idea. This is a range toy to pretend you know quick mag changes. It is not a practical part for serious usage...

Good Lever Works

by BrappNClapPEWPEW, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on December 24, 2025
Does what I needed as a lefty: I can drill with mag swap and drop the bolt without changing hands, also without mixing up the release button for mags. I made a Regular mil spec lower ambi and was missing bolt action, this did the job. The best way to separate the two for quicker action for a lefty.
Pros:
  • set screw has threadlock
Cons:
  • add couple mil of body so tight with chamber cover
Best Used for:
  • doing work
Would recommend: Yes

Great product

by GI.John, Verified Owner from HI, United States Written on December 6, 2025
With practice this device is super great. It allows as it says easy release of the bolt without taking your hand out of a firing grip.

The BAD Lever

by johnchip, Verified Owner from CT, United States Written on November 3, 2025
I am very particularly about what builds I choose to run a BAD lever on. People say it shouldn't be in the trigger guard. Sure that's a valid point but thankfully it extends out where you don't need to stick your finger in the trigger guard. As a right hand shooter it's a lot more convenient and natural for me to actuate the BAD lever when locking the bolt back and sending it home rather than changing my grip to pull the charging handle back and hold the bolt catch simultaneously. Not to say I am incapable of doing it but I'd much rather use the BAD lever if possible. I'm sure I'll get some push back on that but I like it and it serves it's purpose.

  • Works & fits great
Cons:

Another Tool in the Box

by Mike, Verified Owner from WI, United States Written on October 4, 2025
Do I need this at the range, no! But it’s like having your CC License, when you need that little edge that makes all the difference in protecting your family it’s there for you. You have learned it and trained with it so it’s second nature and muscle memory will kick in if that time comes.

Easy install and not complicated to practice using! On my Springfield Armory Saint Victor it sits in reach but not in the way. Perfect addition to upping my efficiency.

Well done Magpul!

Pros:
  • Quicker load/reload times
Cons:
  • Not Arthritis friendly
Best Used for:
  • Ar platforms
Would recommend: Yes

Bolt release easy for right hand.

by JJB, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on September 23, 2025
It's easy to mount and make your ar ambidextrous. Make fast release with out to move your right hand grip, just with your index finger.
Pros:
  • Make faster release the bolt.
Cons:
  • I can't use the ambidextrous mag release.
Would recommend: Yes

great accessory

by Chip Johnson, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on August 30, 2025
Love the B.A.D lever! So much easier to close the bolt without significant movement of your firing hand. Have on several AR15s and a simple, couple of minutes install. I highly recommend if you like the concept.
Pros:
  • fast
  • Convience
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes
