Strike Industries Lightweight Forward Assist, Black
Strike Industries built this forward assist with a lightweight aluminum plunger and a tool steel pawl, shaving weight off a standard mil-spec forward assist without giving up positive bolt carrier engagement. The black anodized finish resists corrosion and drops in on any standard AR-15 or AR-10 upper using your existing roll pin and detent spring.

Will this fit my AR-10 upper too, or just AR-15?
Both — it’s sized for standard mil-spec forward assist bores used on AR-15 and AR-10 upper receivers, and it reuses your existing roll pin and detent spring.
How much lighter is this than a standard steel forward assist?
The aluminum plunger cuts meaningful weight versus a standard steel forward assist while the tool steel pawl keeps the wear surface durable — noticeable if you’re chasing every ounce on a lightweight build.
Does the aluminum plunger hold up to repeated use?
Yes — the pawl that actually engages the bolt carrier’s ratchet teeth is tool steel, not aluminum, so the wear surface is the same durable material as a standard forward assist; only the plunger body is lightened.
What’s included in the box?
Just the forward assist plunger and pawl assembly — it reuses your upper receiver’s existing roll pin and detent spring, so no other hardware is needed.
Will the black finish match my other Strike Industries parts?
Yes, it’s finished in a black anodized coating that matches Strike Industries’ standard black hardware line.
Is this compatible with a standard mil-spec bolt carrier group?
Yes, it’s built to engage the forward assist ratchets on any standard mil-spec BCG — no special BCG required.
