Magpul B.A.D. Lever

[jackrabbit000]

Does the Magpul B.A.D. lever work with the M&P 15T? I've read that it is not compatible with some AR 15's.

It works on my 15-Sport, and it looks like the 15-Sport and 15-T use the same lower receiver.

I know the BAD lever ironically doesn't work with the S&W MOE edition lowers.

I have the S&W MOE and it works just fine. Also have it on a SIG M400 MOE and works fine there also. It doesn't work on the 15-22 without mods.

I stand corrected.

I was under the impression it doesn't work with the MOE MID with the Magpul stamped lower, or that it at least has to be modified (bent).

If someone can confirm the BAD lever will work with the MOE, that would be great! I guess I can buy the lever and try it, then return it if it doesn't work. But I hate doing things like that.

I think you'll be OK with the "T". The Magpul stamped MOE MID lower has a finger shelf that I'm told gets in the way. As I stated above though, I think even with that you can get it to work by bending it slightly. At least that's what's written on various boards. (albeit secondhand)

Yeah, here's an SWT thread that describes the issue.........

If you look at post #3 there will be a picture of the area that creates the problem for the lever. This is model specific so, as I said earlier, with the "T", as long as you don't have the type of "shelf" in the picture, you should be go to go.

Someone engineered that well. It is a stamped Magpul on the lower receiver but their B.A.D lever does not work on it.

Sorry I was talking about the carbine length got it before the mid length came out. I stand corrected.

The Magpul BAD lever will work with the MOE mid length, but you will have to modify it somewhat. It's a fairly simple job requiring you to slightly recontour the lower portion of the lever to fit around the flared magazine well. The lever is made from aluminum so it's relatively easy to work with. I've heard some that made the BAD lever work by grinding down the flare. I would NEVER, NEVER recommend doing that. Check out this post to see what is involved.

I put a BAD lever on my mid length MOE about a year ago. I had to make two slight changes to the bends in the level to work with the lower. It took about 2 min to do and haven't had an issue with it since putting it on.

Yea it works with 15T. I have it on mine.

 

[jtbayridge]

I Have 15T and BAD lever works fine here. About 1200 rounds through it since I installed it on mine

 

[Dad1]

I have one on my 15T as well. Works fine.

 

[jackrabbit000]

Good to know, thanks guys.

The BAD Lever works very well on my MP15 MOE Carbine. Very good investment.

 

[kingwood]

tactical link also makes one if it helps

I prefer the Tactical Link over the BAD lever but its all personal preference.

While you are still shopping around, take a look at the Troy version. I believe it is made a little better.
