Magpul BAD levers from Academy sports

[purdue98]

A few years back, I installed a Phase 5 Extended Bolt Release on the AR10 I owned at the time. It worked as intended.
Years forward....The Colt LE6920(OEM2 Build Out-2014), the CMMG Resolute 100 (PSA lower) and the CMMG Banshee 45ACP are all getting Magpul BAD levers. One is already installed on the Colt and the other 2 should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday.

I was impressed with the ease of install and how the lever functioned (dry cycling).
Academy Sports shipped them for free and so $29.99 each plus Indiana tax.

On rifles and carbines, I shoot left hand (left eye dominate). Figured this out during Basic Training Range Qualifications.
I find these levers allow me more ease in locking the bolt back or, sending it forward.
Hopefully they will hold up over time.

It's adding another part, point of failure, but if the benefit is worth it to you, cool!

I don't disagree with the valid point of adding another part.
However, the MagPul BAD lever doesn't alter the function of the bolt hold/release. It is just mates onto the unit. It the bar breaks or is damaged, the paddle works as normal.
Good point though on the failure possibility.
