Magpul b.a.d. Lever
- Thread starter rockenrod
- Start date
To quote from the Art of the Tactical Carbine:
Observe the chamber. (Determine double feed)
Lock the bolt to the rear.
Rip the magazine out.
Angle the rifle slightly upwards (Gravity to aid in having the rounds drop out)
RACK the charging handle
RACK
RACK (Minimum 3 times or until you see the round/casing eject)
Observe the chamber and verify it is clear.
Reload
RACK
Fire.
The BAD lever makes this easier as you can lock the bolt to the rear using the lever so you don't take your hand off fire control. It is also faster.
How to clear a double feed one handed... Buy the DVDs.

Yeah, if
If the tap rack doesn't work I will rip out the mag
If the mag fails to drop free I will lock the bolt back the way I've always done it....sans magpul industries...and cycle the action a few times.
If cycling the bolt doesn't work I will reach up into the magwell. (Doesn't magpul teach this or does the b.a.d. ensure that cycling the bolt three times always works?)
If it's a really bad stage three I may need to use a tool to pry the casings out.
I don't get my training from DVD's....sorry.

Lock back the bolt first as it takes the pressure off the magazine allowing it to come out easier. Don't rip it out first. I learned this before I watched the DVD.
Hence why I put observe and verify it is clear. Yes if it isn't clear you will reach up into the magazine well and try to free it yourself. I didn't add it as I felt it was implied.
True, but the likeliness is low with good quality ammunition and firearm maintenance.
So do I but it doesn't hurt to use them to supplement your training.
This is just one segment of the videos I have issues with. If the protocol is to rack the action three times but the other option is to stop short if you see the round(s) fall clear. Then why preach cycling the action three times if we're just going to stop once we observe clearance? Which is it. Cycle it three times or wait for the round(s) to fall clear? They preach efficiency and consistency and neither are being demonstrated. The above remedial action is overly complex as well. The solution is simple. When a class 3 failure is observed, unload then reload. Wow, simple...
I see no issue with ripping the mag from the rifle. Personally I agree with locking the bolt to the rear as doing so will ensure the greatest potential for success when removing the magazine.

Happened twice in one week just last month to some guys I was with. Clean guns and commercial ammo.
The b.a.d.s existence is based on simple math.
AR + High volume of fire = stoppage.
I just received my B.A.D. from the US.
In all honesty, I was a little skeptical and wasn't sure if I'd like this "gadget". Having run a preliminary round count at the range of approx. 250 rounds (using the B.A.D.), I can say that I have taken an immediate liking to this piece of equipment.
It just feels very convenient, despite standard handling drills.
If anyone is looking to try one out (and not wanting to wait for US delivery), drop me a PM...I ordered two. (Sorry guys...this unit is gone).

That is one area that the XCR is king isn't it? Why they had to go with loosely screwed on ejectors is beyond me though.
