The Radian Weapons R0231 Forward Assist delivers enhanced bolt carrier group manipulation with precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminum construction. This upgraded component replaces standard forward assists with improved ergonomics and durability for AR-15 platform rifles.
What Makes This Different
Radian's forward assist features a larger engagement surface and optimized geometry compared to mil-spec alternatives. The 7075-T6 aluminum construction provides superior strength-to-weight ratio while the Type III hard anodized finish resists corrosion and wear. The enhanced serrations offer positive grip even with wet or gloved hands.
Key Features
