BAD Levers and Billet Uppers...

[Chris Rhines]

Does anyone know if the Magpul BAD lever is compatable with the Mega Machine monolithic upper?

Thanks,
Chris

I was looking at trying one on a C3 billet as well but had the same concern.

I own one of their new billet upper/lower combos, It seems to be exactly like the Monolith without the rail, and unfortunately the upper will not work with the BAD. The recessed area for the bolt release is too small for the BAD to fit in without activating it. I'm hoping Magpul will make a replacement bolt catch/BAD combo like the Phase 5 EBR V2, but until then I'm probably looking into that alternative for my MEGA upper.

I put a Magpul BAD on my Bushy carbine and it works like a champ.
Went to put one on my SBR with a LaRue Stealth upper and the tolerances are too close for the BAD to work properly.

After consulting others who own billet uppers, I ordered the Phase 5 Tactical EBRv2 for my SPR.
I'll report on it after I receive it, and get it installed.
