Magpul b.a.d lever to tight..?

[CapM1a]

I just purchased a bad lever today and attempted to install it. Upon installing it, i noticed it was rubbing on the inside of the trigger guard and didnt lock the bolt as securely as i would like. I know that the 15-22 has a little wider receiver and i dont know if thats a direct result of my problem. It also seems that the lever is a little crocked. So my question is has anyone put this on there rifle or has anyone come across my same problem. Thanks everyone, I plan on uploading a picture soon as soon as i finish all my upgrades

That's because it was designed for an AR15 receiver, not a 15-22. Return it and buy a Speed Bolt Release, from NDZ. It IS designed specifically for the 15-22.

I purchased one and successfully installed it after "slight" modification. That being putting in a vise and straightening out some of the curve. Works fine and you can't tell the difference

If you already purchased it there is no need to return it. Just do as LopeAlong suggested and your good. I've been running one for years now. Its fine.

I concur 100%... put it in a flat vice (no teeth) wrapped in a rag and straighten out the "bend" in the lever bar... poof... it functions 100%.
