It is apples and oranges, though. RDS over irons is incremental advantage for most shooters, and for all shooters in low/no light; WML is a difference between being blind and being able to see.
BAD vs. no BAD is arguably non-incremental speed advantage; I think that you had posted that, outside of Redi-Mag use, there is a barely perceptible difference in speed reload.
Pretty impressive machining. Back to my question, steel or aluminum? It also looks like a lot of machining for a "beauty" mark. But then again maybe that's part of the appeal. Surely someone has one and could give something other than hearsay information on it's construction. I'm not really down on the unit, just the implication it's machined from one piece of material. Their website list it as "monolithic", that's subject to interpretation. I guess it's not an issue really, I've had no issues with BAD levers. In fact I put one on my SD-15 SBR and due to the shape of the billet lower had to cut the BAD lever to allow full stroke. We've banged it around pretty good and no troubles yet, but then again we haven't seen it strike the lever with the full weight of the SBR focused on it.![]()

Here's an older post I found from someone with firsthand experience with the Phase 5 and it states it's only 1 piece. Unfortunately we still don't know what it's made of.
Here's the link to the entire thread:

The Phase 5 EBRv2 is held to the bolt catch by a TIG weld on 3 sides, afterwards it is re-heat treated and an epoxy is added to the cut out for a strictly visual effect.
You can see the weld in the following pic.
I've used 3 different versions of the Phase 5 EBRv2 now and the current version is the best of the bunch. I had an issue with the first version not locking back the bolt on the last round, but it was replaced by Phase 5 and I haven't had an issue since on two AR's. Great company to deal with and in my experience an excellent product.
Interesting kwrangln, thanks for the info.
