Default Bolt release devise for Magpul lower?

I own a magpul M&P 15 moe mid, with the magpul spec lower, i purchased a magpul b.a.d. devise, but as you all know it does not work with that lower, does anyone know if there is one out there from another company that might work with that lower, maybe Troy or someone else. I would like to use one but i dont want to buy another one until i know it will work with my lower. Thanks: Mick

Mick,

What are the clearance issues with the B.A.D. lever & the Moe Edition lower?

If it's anything like the clearance issue on a 15-22, it might be easily resolved. To mount a B.A.D. lever I had to gently bend the lever using a vise. I bent a little, test fit, repeated until I had it just right.

I didnt know that there was a difference between the MOE lower and the regular lowers.

here is a link to a thread on here that talks about it, but nobody ever came up with a release that would work with the magpul lower.

Sorry about that are you sure you cannot reshape the arm to clear that raised portion?

Yikes. Leave it to Magpul to design a lower that is incompatible with their own accessory. I don't think a bend would make a BAD lever fit.

It'd stick out like a sore thumb and get snagged on everything.
