The Magpul B.A.D. Lever (Battery Assist Device) is designed to address the challenges of reloading and malfunction clearance that can arise with the AR-15/M16 platform. The B.A.D. Lever significantly improves the bolt catch by extending a paddle on the right side of the weapon, allowing the shooter to manipulate the bolt stop from the natural ready position with the right-hand trigger finger, resulting in faster and more efficient handling.

The B.A.D. Lever is constructed from high-quality billet 6061-T6 aluminum and features an anti-snag profile and textured surface for enhanced grip. It is compatible with MIL-SPEC forged AR-15/M16 receivers and attaches to the existing bolt catch paddle via one screw. The device is crafted with MIL-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2 hardcoat anodizing, ensuring its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The mounting screw is coated with manganese phosphate and features a Nyloc Blue patch for added security. The device also comes with a Torx wrench for easy installation.

The B.A.D. Lever is incompatible with large frame (7.62x51/.308 Winchester) firearms, most AR-15 billet or polymer upper/lower receivers, or S&W Magpul Spec Series lower receivers. However, it is functional for left and right-handed shooters and allows for conventional bolt catch manipulation. The B.A.D. Lever is an excellent addition to any AR-15/M16 platform, providing enhanced reliability and ease of use in critical situations.
