Strike Industries AR-15 Extended Forward Assist Features The Strike Industries Extended Forward Assist replaces the standard mil-spec button with an L-shaped extension that gives the shooter a larger more ergonomic surface to operate. The button is textured for a positive feel so manipulating it with a gloved or bare thumb stays consistent even in cold weather or under stress. A low-drag no-snag profile keeps the part from catching on gear or clothing during movement. The forward assist function remains fully intact giving a reliable way to seat the bolt fully into battery if a malfunction or short stroke occurs. Constructed from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum with a black anodized finish the button cuts weight without sacrificing strength or durability. A tool steel pawl backs up the aluminum housing ensuring long service life and positive engagement with the ratchets on a compatible bolt carrier. The part is built to fit AR-9 AR-15 and AR-10 platforms making it a simple drop-in addition to a new build or a quick upgrade for an existing rifle. For shooters who want improved ergonomics without giving up reliability this Strike Industries forward assist is a worthwhile upgrade.
