B.A.D. Lever Released

[CCFP]

They are closed for the weekend. I don't see how to order them online? Any dealers have them?

I almost ordered the EBRv2 the other day. Glad I waited.

I ordered the EBRv2 today, about 6 hours ago, (never saw this notice until now). I'll have it in a few days. I'd think that Magpul will take a little while to get it out in quantity.

Why?

The standard button is easily hit with both hands, and will not come loose/break.

Did you read the description?

Developed from the operational experience of the Magpul® Dynamics team, the B.A.D. Lever™ (Battery Assist Device) is designed to considerably improve the speed and efficiency of the AR15/M16 bolt catch. The B.A.D. Lever™ quickly addresses reloading and malfunction clearance shortcomings of AR15/M16 platforms by extending a paddle to the right side of the weapon, allowing manipulation of the bolt stop from the fire control/ready position with the right-hand trigger finger.

See below.

So you are the "They" that is always naysaying....

Dropping the bolt is one thing, you can do that ambi with a POF or Magpul lower, entry price $450. LOCKING the bolt back with the trigger finger, now that is sliced bread and wheel territory. To be able to add it to existing lowers for $30 is Dave Thomas "Frosty" territory.

It is with out a doubt the biggest advancement in bent metal rods since the Crow Bar.

I thought the same way as you, then I tried one. Below is my current duty weapon, it didn't long after using one to admit I was wrong and swallow my pride.

It's about damn time. I just finished making one out of carbon fiber because I got sick of waiting. Guess I'll be calling Magpul on Monday and ordering one just in case the one I made breaks.

I think we're going to see a lot of this once they are out. Some of the comments made about these levers, from the purely ignorant, have been pretty silly. The worst is "you have your finger in the trigger guard when you're not prepared to fire!" No, you don't.

At $30 retail, and once the gougers get done selling them on barf for $100, hopefully more people will get them a shot and at least then they can comment from a position of experience. Although history tells us that many of these people will make their knee-jerk initial comments and never have the sack to admit they were wrong.

How is it that you aren't violating that safety rule? If you are using it to drop the bolt there may be no safety violation, as you should be on target already. But if you are trying to lock the bolt to the rear it appears that you would have to place your finger in the trigger guard to operate the lever that way, at a time you are not intending to fire.

Thank you for making my point.

Go here. At the bottom you will see a video link. Click it to see how the lever works.

So where do you address the safety infraction?

Did you watch the video or not?

Look, I don't care if you or anyone else buys one or not. In fact, I'm not even personally sold on whether I want to add them to my guns or not, but at $30 if you think there's a potential that it could be of use to you there's really no reason not to try one. It's not like you wouldn't be able to sell it after the fact.

Arguing about it on the internet, with someone with zero hands-on with the item is pretty pointless.

But thank you nonetheless for being a great example of my point.
