Most Helpful Positive Review Just perfect
This item would have been perfect. It was easy to install and use. Just three screws with no special tool. Just a Philips screw driver and your capable hands. This was made perfectly as to size and measurements. It does not get in the way of the trigger. I don't even have to move my support hand the...

Most Helpful Negative Review Does not fit well on billet receiver
On my CMMG Guard 9mm pistol and BCM 5.56 Jack Carbine this unit was unworkable. It's better than the Magpul BAD Lever as it drops straight down instead of having a bend toward the muzzle which avoids some of the lower billeted curves; however whereas the BAD Lever or Tactical Link's EBAL (my favorit...

Does not allow firearm cycle

by BLDGRN, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on December 1, 2025
The thickness of the bolt release when installed (Back side) slightly makes contact with the upper. This causes the BCG to have friction when moving and not cycle properly. Thrown in trash.

Every AR should have one

by Chief, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on August 9, 2022
Bad levers are a must on ARs. Way faster manipulations. I love the bad lever but these are awesome because if they do break (which is yet to happen and I beat my guns up and use them) they are replaceable and the AR is still functional. Get one now!!!
Pros:
  • Faster gun manipulation
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • AR upgrade
Would recommend: Yes

Works great but required a minor modification

by TheBrianB, Verified Owner from OH, United States Written on March 24, 2021
It's on my Ruger AR-556. It works as designed and is easy to install. I sawed 1/4" off though, because it was too easy to bump & close the bolt unintentionally. Now, with the bolt open, it's just under flush with the mag release fence. I haven't tried out my mod yet, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

My only complaint, if you want to call it that, is the manufacturer didn't recommend a torque for the screws. I used 10 in-lb and blue loc-tite.
Pros:
  • Easy and reliable
Cons:
  • A bit too long
  • No torque recommendation
Best Used for:
  • Competition and qualification where support arm is slung
Would recommend: Yes

Better than BAD

by Meladan, Verified Owner from WA, United States Written on October 14, 2020
Quality materials and solidly mates to a milspec "ping pong paddle". Not too thick and I like the relief cuts and design. As is typical though, OPs inventory feed and cryptic status messages leave a lot to be desired.
Pros:
  • Quality materials
  • Neat design
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes
