Magpul AR15 BAD Battery Assist Device MAG980BLK

The Magpul AR15 B.A.D. (Battery Assist Device) Lever is engineered to enhance the speed, efficiency, and overall handling of the AR15/M4 platform by providing faster access to the bolt catch without altering your firing grip. Built for shooters who demand seamless weapon manipulation under pressure, this device addresses one of the platform’s most common shortcomings—bolt control during reloads and malfunction clearing. By extending a paddle to the right side of the firearm, the B.A.D. Lever lets you operate the bolt stop directly from the fire control position with your right-hand trigger finger, keeping the rifle firmly shouldered and ready.

Constructed from anodized aluminum, the B.A.D. Lever is both lightweight and exceptionally durable, designed to withstand the harsh conditions and repetitive use common to tactical, competitive, and training environments. Its low-profile shape keeps the rifle slim while still offering a pronounced engagement surface that’s easy to locate by feel alone. Whether you’re running drills, clearing stoppages, or performing rapid reloads, the lever provides improved speed without compromising control.

Installation is simple and non-permanent. The B.A.D. Lever mounts directly to a standard AR15/M4 bolt catch using the included hardware, requiring no modification to your rifle. Designed around Mil-Spec forged upper and lower receivers, its fit and function are optimized for consistency and reliability. All mounting components come included, allowing most shooters to install the lever in just minutes.

Ambidextrous functionality makes the device a practical upgrade for both right- and left-handed shooters. While the extended paddle is positioned for right-hand trigger-finger operation, the traditional bolt catch remains fully usable and unobstructed, ensuring the rifle can still be run according to the standard manual of arms. This dual capability gives shooters flexibility in training and operation while expanding the platform’s overall efficiency.

Made in the USA, the Magpul B.A.D. Lever stands as a dependable, high-performance enhancement for the AR15/M4, giving you faster bolt control, smoother reloads, and a more intuitive weapon-handling experience. Whether used in duty, competition, or recreational shooting, it’s a simple upgrade that delivers significant functional gains.
