Product description
The Strike Industries Lightweight Forward Assist is a forward assist designed for manual bolt carrier engagement on AR-platform rifles. The Strike Industries Lightweight Forward Assist uses an aluminum plunger and a steel pawl to provide a balance of reduced weight and consistent mechanical contact.
This forward assist features a lightweight aluminum plunger combined with a tool steel pawl for reliable interaction with bolt carrier serrations. It is finished in red anodizing, which contributes to corrosion resistance and surface durability. The Strike Industries Lightweight Forward Assist is compatible with AR-style upper receivers designed for standard forward assist assemblies. This product is used for assisting bolt closure when chambering rounds or verifying lockup. In standard configurations, the unit installs into the forward assist housing and maintains engagement with the bolt carrier during operation.
