Lol
Theyre offset irons 😒 came with it, why not
Offset is fine
that sight placement though
I couldn't get it further back lol trust me I tried, ill have to get different offset rails to be able to scoot it back like 2 inches
It should be the first thing in front of the charging handle, at the very first pic slot
Brush there's no room, had to attach it to the M-Lok
It's basically useless there. Either make room, or don't have it at all. Later on when you can afford it, good flip magnifier design leaves enough room for a flip up backup sight, such as the larue flip mount
Not all that great on that red dot anyway
Totally acceptable to not have backups if the magnifier doesn't leave room, but sticking it there anyway just makes you look bad, and shouldn't be relied on when mounted there anyway.
Red dot's okayish, I mean they're surprisingly durable if that's what you can afford. Has inrange's stamp of approval at least.
Nothing wrong with the dot, just not really made for a magnifier
@EDDSkitz works well, lines up and seems to do what its designed to
Pulled the trigger on my DMR build, all except the barrel. No idea when Faxon is getting their 20" back in stock but I'm not compromising on that
20" Gunner's Profile?
"Heavy flame fluted" they call it
Good for a dmr or for vibe checking steel plates
@kalebdenden thats the idea. Also looking to keep ammo interchangeable between it and my carbine. So xm855 for both
What's everyone's opinion on B.A.D. Levers? Worth using or no?
I don't have experience using them, which is why I ask.
BAD Levers are bad, the idea of using a finger in the trigger guard to drop the bolt on a loaded mag is a ND waiting to happen
@Cannibalistic69th utter nonsense. It needs to be trained with by people who aren't retarded. But calling bolt releases in trigger guards safety hazards is exactly why fat cops shoot themselves cleaning their glocks and think it's a design fault.
BAD levers may have actual mechanical problems but that is an operator deficiency
Applying latteral pressure to a small stob inside the trigger guard infront of the trigger is just begging for a ND, especially when factoring in the sudden shift in mass as the bolt goes home
Yes, experience with them can mitigate the risk as with anything but it is generally a good idea to keep none trigger related functions out of and slightly away from the trigger and trigger guard area
Yeah it makes you faster but I wouldn’t trust it on a duty rifle. Maybe if you’ve trained it exclusively
They cause extra wear on the bolt catch sear, leading to bolt catch failure, premature bolt drop, and a variety of other mechanical problems. They also actively cause nd's. People say they won't, then they nd in front of me at the range because their feelings can't override natural human clenching reflexes.
I appreciate the information. Thanks guys
I know all of this.... yet I still want the CZ Bren 2 with a booth catch release in the trigger guard lol
Bad levers basically do the opposite. After a while, you no longer have a bolt catch at all.
Guys faster than you'll ever be use standard controls... practice is worth more than any novelty crap 🤷♂️
If you want to increase the ease of use of your rifle, I suggest the geissele maritime bolt catch. It's much easier to hit without adding bullshit to break off in your fire control group

Tactical drug rug hoodie are a thing
Just needed to say, that I hate BAD levers. I'm not worried about dropping a mag or NDing, I just think they're dumb, they get it the way and another thing to get snagged on.
Gimmicks
Marketed to range operators
I've never seen how a BAD lever can cause excessive wear on the BCG or anything else.
Training issues though, I can vouch for that one.
Question to my armor lads; looking to get a new vest, and i want something that is comfortable to train in (physically, not just range)
Whats everyone running? pros/cons? im about 5'11" 215lbs for reference
