Frequently Asked Questions

What upper receivers is this compatible with?

The Strike Industries Lightweight Forward Assist is compatible with standard mil-spec AR-15 and AR-10 upper receivers. It installs as a direct drop-in replacement using the existing forward assist roll pin and detent spring.

How much weight does this save over a standard forward assist?

The lightweight forward assist reduces weight compared to the standard steel mil-spec forward assist by using skeletonized or aluminum construction. The exact weight savings varies by model — check the product specifications for the specific weight.

Does removing weight from the forward assist affect function?

No — the forward assist function is unchanged. It still allows the shooter to manually push the bolt carrier group into battery when needed. The weight reduction is achieved by removing material from areas that do not affect the functional interface with the bolt carrier group.
