I was over at MAS Gunworks yesterday and whilst there Matt showed me this new item they just got in from Magpul. I wanted to share it here because I think it's pretty cool and a good idea. Please keep in mind that I am not a professional anything nor do I play one on TV. I'm only here to share my thoughts and experience on this part. YMMV...
This is the Magpul B.A.D. Lever (battery assist device). It's basically a small machined lever that attaches over the standard bolt release on your AR-15 type rifle, shown here on my SBR. The lever is provided with the backer plate, lever, pre loctited attachment torx head fastener, and torx wrench. I didn't have the presence of mind to take before pics. The lever installs is less than a minute and enables the user to release a locked open bolt with the tip of the trigger finger making reloading and getting the weapon back in the fight just that much quicker. As a side note it makes getting the bolt held open a little less cumbersome too. Sorry for the crappy phone pics. too.

Simple, clean and it works. I can see how it would be a great benefit on reloads, and getting back into battery. I had not seen them until today, and will get a few in the near future for mine.
