Rainier Arms RM15 Lower Receiver, No BAD Lever for you!

So the owner of the latest build we helped with wanted to add a BAD lever from Magpul to aid in manipulations but we found due to the design of the RM15, it is not compatible!
The RM15 lower receiver has a spot on the left and right side of the receiver for your finger to rest on.
This finger rest protrudes from the receiver and it obstructs the BAD lever from moving up which then prevents your bolt catch from moving up and locking back the BCG (Bolt Carrier Group) on the last shot.
In this pic I am pushing against the BAD lever to try to move the bolt catch up but you can see where it is catching on the finger rest.
There are two different groups of folks with opposing views on the use of BAD levers, but for myself I see it as an aid that has sped up my movements to correct issues I had with my firearm/magazine so this is definitely an issue I see with this lower receiver.
