Mostly easy to put on. It will make your life easier if you already have a T8 screwdriver. Its a bit rough using the tool provided. The product once on is great and very useful. I am really happy with the purchase.

These are a must have for any at enthusiasts. They make one handed manipulation possible and easy. I have these on 9 ars and couldn’t imagine a rifle with out it. Just be mindful that some of the extended, oversized bolt catch won’t accommodate these.

This B.A.D. lever from magpul is a must have accessory for all rifles. Easier to charge rifle and really easy to install.I would not own a rifle without one I highly recommend!!!!!!!! Magpul is also an A+ brand you can trust for all AR accessories.

This fits well on the M&P 15-22. Makes it easier for the lil ones to drop the mags quickly and efficiently.Have never experienced any of the issues mentioned in the negative reviews. I'd purchase again. Dont have one on any of my 556's but I'd imagine they'd work just as well as with the 15-22.

Works as advertised. Very easy to install. There's not much to it. It's going to take a little getting used to the new functionality but the nice thing about this item is that the old functionality is still built in.

This Magpul B.A.D. lever was easy to install. It works great to either hold the bolt open or release the bolt with your trigger finger. I will order more "B.A.D. Levers" for other AR's. Great product
