    Magpul BAD Lever and VLTOR MUR Upper

    Hey Everyone,

    I have a Noveske Upper with a MUR upper. I recently got a BAD to try out and put it on my Territorial Lower with a Colt LPK. I have noticed that because the MUR appears to be thicker and the cut out area for the bolt catch/release is shaped different than a standard upper, it appears to be riding. What I mean by that is when I cycle the bolt I can feel the bolt carrier dragging on the bolt catch when the BAD is installed. I am guessing some minor filing on the back of the BAD is in order but wanted to see if any one else has similar experience or feedback.

    Thanks guys and looking forward to hearing from you.
    Dave

    I had to file down the back of a BAD lever to get it to clear on a a MUR upper. You will need to remove quite a bit of material, but you can get it to work.

    is this for real? BAD doesn't work well with MUR? anyone else have these issues?

    No. Never had that issue on the forged or billet machined VLTOR uppers.

    I got my MUR-A1 from Grant yesterday and put it on my BM lower which has a B.A.D. to test out this very thing.

    The upper is stripped so I could not really go all out testing it, but I put the bolt and CH in the upper, attached it to the lower to see if the BAD would give it any problems.

    I seemed to have none. I did not notice the BCG hanging up at all.

    I installed the MUR by closing the pivot pin first, then closley looking at the BAD/Bolt catch as I lowered the MUR to close the take down pin. It did not seem to move though it was VERY close to the MUR Upper.

    I cycled the bolt a few times with the charging handle, locked it back a few times. I did not drop the bolt because there is not bbl attached to the upper, so when I released it I slowed its movement with the CH.

    I did not notice any interferece. Now, this could all be because my BM lower and or parts, ie bolt catch are out of spec, who knows, but I did not see any problems.

    Having said that, I will still have to check all this again when I assemble the rifle with a Noveske lower and Grant's LPK. [side note, color of Noveske lower does not match MUR ]

    I saw someone on this board say that there was an issue a while ago, and contacted VLTOR asking if they had heard anything. They said no issue was brought to their attention. Unfortunatly I no longer have the e-mails.

    I'm also running a BAD on a MUR with no interference problems. I have a Noveske lower, MUR upper, and LPK from G&R. Just another sample of one to add to the mix.
