Good points. I bought the Magpul BAD lever for my first AR, so I’m gonna go that route for now. I’m right handed, so I’ll hold the gun grip in my right hand, insert the new mag with my left hand, and then drop the bolt with my right pointer finger using the BAD lever.
As for dropping the bolt with an empty mag during practice... what about using dummy rounds? That way it would be functioning similar to live fire, not putting extra, undue stress on the bolt catch spring?
