My review of the Juvicator B.A.D. lever.

i dont really understand the need for this piece, ive never had a problem on any of my AR's that needed this type of thing installed, and i dont forsee putting one on my 15-22.

what is the real world need for this? :confused:

The need is because some people like it.

The ability to close the bolt without moving any body part except the trigger finger. No need to move either hand. This can be important for fast-shooting competition.

That makes sense. So something completely unnecessary for me, and highly desirable for others.
 
I just had the Magpul B.A.D. Lever delivered today. Like you I found it does not fit right. By the look of your pics it appears you straightened the lever a bit. Anything else you did to make it right? Please let me know. I love the look of this piece and want to use it. I just don't want to ruin it or mark it up too much. Did you file, grind, bend it? All of the above? Thanks in advance for any advice. Brian
 
No filing or grinding necessary - just bend it in a vice.
(Although I did chew mine up a little because my vice jaws weren't too good...)

I bought my partner a small cooking gas blowtorch for Christmas (she's French and a wiz in the kitchen), but the only thing it's done so far is to help heat my BAD lever for bending!

Result:

NB - it needs to have a bit of space from the receiver so that the offside of the mag release doesn't push on it when releasing a mag, otherwise, it'll snap the bolt shut again!
 
VictorSix, there is no real need, the AR works and functions fine without this little device... Now, to speed reloads up and slam the bolt faster than original, this device rocks.. also if you have a jam, bad feed, failure to feed, or eject.. you can left hand slam back the charging handle, lock the bolt back with your TRIGGER finger... drop mag, rack the bolt, lock back with your TRIGGER finger, slam in a new mag, drop the bolt with YOUR TRIGGER finger faster than the stock method all with you trigger finger never leaving the trigger area.. can you say FAST..

Now this means nothing on a range shooting paper zombies... BUT in the field under real time fire, can mean life... Now, this unit doesn't improve your weapon by just installing it. You have to train with how to use it and use it well for it to benefit your ability to stop the threat.. I hope that helps with the reason...

I just joined this forum. Was just curious on the status of Juvicators BAD lever. Any updates?
 
is there enough room with an after market drop in trigger ?? many times with a competition trigger installed it changes the position of the trigger ..
