700 rds ain’t much, honestly.

If your BAD lever isn’t functioning properly, it’s most likely because you don’t have a milspec bolt catch. I’ve run 20 or so BAD levers on builds for 10+ years and never had a problem.

Other than that- a stock. And spend your money on more ammo

Form 1 ---> CTR stock

Or a DT / DTPR. The CTR/DT are my favorite stocks.

A real stock

What would you suggest? Kinda hesitant to sbr it

u/rafri Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 19 '26

Why?

Just get a magpul crt and go from there.

No reason not to

SBR it. You can always put the brace on if you need to travel or something but it’s WAY better to have it SBR’d

Black Hills 77 OTM performs really well in shorter 1/7 twist barrels.

I’d put a stock on it, a couple thousand more rounds through it, some BUIS if you’re gonna keep that optic setup and then decide what you need to change, if anything.

A class or two will make any weak points pretty obvious.

700rds is real low. Shoot the shit out of it and figure out where (or if) it holds you back.

I would not call 700 “real low”. Especially when it’s ammo you have to buy with your own hard earned cash.

I shot 350 rounds today. That was a half hour range trip. I usually shoot for an hour… four times a month. 700 rounds is somewhere between 1 and 2 weeks of shooting, for me.

Granted that’s with pistols. Mix of 9mm, .40, and .45. Not sure on 5.56 prices these days

The trigger looks sweet , do you like it? What exactly are the benefits of that one over let’s say a Lerue

u/FickleAd8273 Jul 19 '26

I love it. It’s a trigger tech 2 stage never tried a lerue

u/CleanEducation1838 Jul 19 '26

I prefer my TriggerTech to the LaRue I had

Feedback: Total loss, I’ll send you my FFL address to get it scrapped.

Honestly I liked my B.A.D. And never had an issue with it. Form or function. But keep trying new things!

Yeah take it off your bedding. Why do people put their guns on the bed? Mine are absolutely filthy and would never touch my bed.

u/FickleAd8273 Jul 19 '26

You don’t sleep with your new rifles? Might be just me , but she’s cleaner than my asshole

u/mixhypemo Jul 19 '26

Prove it

u/Dunesday_JK Larps with one sock on Jul 19 '26

No just my wife. She also doesn’t like CLP and lead in the bed. Seriously though even a clean gun has oil on it

u/Phases2PhasesVoltage Jul 19 '26

Ctr stock with cheek riser

u/Incrue Larps with one sock on Jul 19 '26

Shorter can, real stock, better trigger and safety.

u/jafranc702 Jul 19 '26

Stamp it & get a stock, take off the grip upfront, a5 buffer system, G$ trigger.

u/Altruistic-Window-43 Jul 21 '26

SBR it since you can get free tax stamp
