Is this a complete kit or just the plunger?
It’s the complete kit — teardrop forward assist, spring, and pin — everything needed to replace a worn or missing forward assist.
Will this work on any AR-15 upper?
Yes, it’s a direct replacement for the standard AR-15 forward assist assembly and installs exactly like the factory original.
Is this made in the USA?
Yes, Luth-AR manufactures this forward assist assembly in the U.S.A.
What’s the “teardrop” shape about?
It’s just the plunger’s exterior profile — a teardrop-shaped serrated button instead of the round mil-spec shape — purely a styling difference that doesn’t change function.
Do I need any special tools to install it?
No, it installs with the same roll pin and detent spring setup as a factory forward assist, using basic punches and a hammer.
How do I know if my forward assist needs replacing?
If it’s bent, cracked, or the pawl no longer engages the bolt carrier’s ratchet teeth to push it into battery, it’s time to replace it — this kit gives you a complete, worn-part-free replacement rather than sourcing individual pieces.
