Just installed a bad lever on my light weight build ar. Anyone run one of these? I like the ideal of the function. Does seem to magnify the wiggle in the bolt catch. Any problems with wear?
I use one. For fast reloads at the 3 gun matches they are VERY helpful!!! I like the functionality of it for all my rifles regardless of competition or not.
I feel like its a solution to a nonexistent problem. If I bang a mag into place I can hit the bolt release and my trigger finger can go back to the trigger rather than having to push the BAD lever then go back to trigger.
If you want a unique ambi mag release, look at a Seekins billet lower.
It's only use is when in conjunction with a Redi-Mag.
As a stand-alone product it is redundant and requires the fine motor skill of your firing hand's fingers rather than gross motor skill of your support hand, which is already in position anyways because it is reloading the gun.
