I have just installed the Magpul B.A.D. lever.
But now the bolt does not end up in the rear position when the last round has been fired.
I currently use a standard buffer, but I am planning to get a H buffer.
Will changing the buffer help???

Did it run before you installed the B.A.D. Lever?
Everything was running great before installing the B.A.D. lever.
I have also used the Enidyne buffer before, and that ran smooth as well.

Just a thought - if your rifle was running 100% before the addition of an aftermarket piece, it may be the aftermarket piece causing the issue and not some inherent flaw with the rifle.
I would not go modifying a perfectly good rifle when the answer is probably right in front of you.
Very good point.
But it could also something that was borderline working and adding this was enough to cause it to not work. If it were mine I'd try a know good other carrier in it and see what a happens. It could also be running so fast that the magazine doesn't have enough time to lift the bolt catch in time to catch the face of the bolt. Or so slowly and weakly that the bolt isn't moving far enough rearward to be intercepted by the bolt catch. Just things to look for.

I have thought about this myself.
That's why I thought getting an H buffer might help (slow the cycle down a tad).
You guys think that might be a solution.

I run a carbine length gas system.

IF you changed fro mthe Enidyne to the CAR buffer at the same time then yes, it's likely running too fast. An H or H2 buffer would slow it back down close to the cyclic rate of the previous Enidine. Since you have the Enidine already pop it back in there and head back to the range.
FWIW, when I put a BAD on my Colt, I had to go from a H to H2 to get reliable lock-backs. When I added a suppressor, it would only lock back about half the time. I went from a H2 to a 9mm buffer and it locks back 100% both suppressed and unsuppressed.
