Product Details

The Magpul MAG980-BLK B.A.D. Lever Battery Assist Device is an essential enhancement for AR15/M4 enthusiasts seeking to optimize their firearm's performance. Crafted from durable milspec-anodized aluminum, this ambidextrous lever significantly improves the speed and efficiency of the AR15/M16 bolt catch, allowing shooters to address reloading and malfunction clearance with ease. By extending a paddle to the right side of the weapon, the B.A.D. Lever enables manipulation of the bolt stop directly from the fire control position using the right-hand trigger finger, making it an invaluable tool for both left and right-handed users. Its thin anti-snag profile and textured surface ensure that traditional manipulation of the bolt catch remains unobstructed, while still providing quick access to the trigger. The B.A.D. Lever attaches seamlessly to the existing bolt catch paddle with a single screw, requiring no permanent modifications to your firearm. Finished with MIL-A-8625F Type III Class 2 hard anodizing, this device is built to withstand rigorous use and features a Torx mounting screw with a Nyloc Blue patch to prevent loosening under recoil. Ideal for competitive shooting, tactical applications, or everyday use, the Magpul B.A.D. Lever enhances your AR platform's functionality, ensuring you stay prepared and efficient in any shooting scenario.

    Magpul BAD Lever - Definitely Recommend It

    Posted by Scott L. on Apr 14th 2026

    I'm surprised no one has reviewed this on here yet. There are hundreds of 5 star reviews on the web. It's as useful as an enhanced magazine catch button. You don't have to change your grip, and I find it especially useful for manually locking the bolt open. If you have a Gucci milled lower reciever it may not fit, but if you have a bog-standard forged mil-spec reciever, you will have no interference issues. I have never had a problem with any of the four different lowers I have used it on. Some reviews have complained about wiggle, but in my experience, the wiggle is in the bolt catch button in the reciever. The B.A.D. Lever just makes it more noticeable.
