Overview
The Magpul B.A.D. (Battery Assist Device) Lever significantly improves the speed and efficiency of the AR-15/M4 bolt catch by extending a paddle to the right side of the weapon.
It allows manipulation of the bolt stop from the fire control / ready position with the right-hand trigger finger, addressing reloading and malfunction clearance shortcomings while preserving traditional bolt catch operation.

- Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum
- MIL-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2 hard anodizing with manganese phosphate on the screw
- Torx mounting screw with Nyloc Blue patch prevents back-out under recoil (Torx wrench included)
- Attaches to the existing bolt catch paddle via one screw
- Thin, anti-snag profile and textured surface still allows traditional manipulation of the bolt catch
- Made in the USA
Fitment
