  1. I've been using the PDQ for years now, as an instructor and PoPo. Bad part: You have to modify your lower slightly, but you can do it with a hand file. Good part: Very intuitive and you don't have to put your finger in the trigger guard to use it.

  2. Who selling bad levers for 20? I just bought 10 and cheapest I found was 30😂

  3. I got a phase five and it is one of my favorite things. I actually won't get an ambidextrous lower because I prefer that lever and its placement

  4. My brother has a bad on his AR, and it’s alright. It doesn’t really do much for me. I’d equate it to a push to start ignition. It makes you feel cool the first couple of times you do it, your grandpa will tell you that it’s neat, and no one else really cares.

  5. Love the bad lever. Have it on most of my ars. You can also lift up on it to lock the bolt back without changing your grip. Their extended mag release is also a necessity in my view.

  6. Just learn to operate the rile correctly and you don’t need gimmicks. Buy ammo.

  7. No better way to let everyone know you are untrained than to have one of these on your rifle

  8. I really don't like the idea of putting stuff in your trigger guard, especially super snag magnet stuff like the bad levers. Just get a lower with an ambi bolt release or train more

  9. I mailed the lower receiver all the way across and put an HK-416 A5 ambi-bolt release.
    Not sure why more companies aren't incorporating this/PDQ type into their lowers.

  10. I do not recommend the bad lever, usually has caused more problems. Instead replace the whole bolt release much more secure

  11. I have both and ill say the phase 5 is pretty intrusive in the trigger gaurd. However it has lots of surface so its easy to use, but i wish they made it further forward in the trigger gaurd.

    The badlever is wobbly on a lot of bolt releases (it clamps to a milspect bolt catch where the phase 5 is a full replacement part), but you can fix the wobble by putting cardstock or e-tape on the bolt release before clamping it. It becomes rigid and very usable.

    Overall I recommend badlever, but keep in mind it may not work with all uppers as it adds thickness to the rear of the bolt catch paddle.

    My BRN-180 would not take a badlever for this reason, the reciever is wider, so the Phase 5 was the next choice. Both good products, but beware they both have drawbacks.
