AR15 billet set question/problem

[offroaD]

I built an AR using the EA billet set, and the set it self doesn't have a "problem" per say but I guess since the walls are thicker to add strength the magpul BAD lever I bought doesn't work. There is not enough clearance and the wall of the upper pushes against the backside of the lever pressing the bolt catch in causing it to rub against the bolt. My question is do you guys know if there is a different manufactuer who makes one of these levers that wouldnt have problems?

There are a few out there that replace the bolt release instead of bolting to the standard spec release. Phase 5 is one that I can think of.

Phase 5 V2. I put one on the same set up and it's outstanding. It's a full one piece replacement not just a screw on lever. Much better imho and works with the EA billet stuff

Cool! I'll look into getting one, but I just spent 30 bucks on the magpull and I thought maybe if I file a little bit of material from that back that it might work, but it didn't and I didnt want to file too much and make it weak so there goes 30 bucks.

EA said in a thread that the BAD Lever wouldnt work, due to clearances, but you can use the Phase 5 Lever, that replaces the current bolt release lever.

Damn, wish I had stumbled upon that post before buying mine and become aware of it.

Yes, the Phase V would probably work. I had to go with that on my AS side charger for similar reasons. Nice thing about the Phase Vs is if needed, you grind a little of the back side for proper clearance. If you want to try the fit on my lower, let me know. I'm home all day every day.

PM me w/price you would want for the B.A.D. Lever and we might be able to come to a mutually agreeable solution.

I like that phase 5 piece....hmmm

Nice thing about it, it's one solid piece of steel.

I can confirm, the phase 5 v2 works on my E4 billet set also
