Strike Industries AR Forward Assist Gold Anodized Steel AR-15/M16

The Strike Industries ARFAGC AR Forward Assist transforms the standard mil-spec component with enhanced ergonomics and distinctive gold anodized finish. This precision-machined steel component provides superior grip surface and reliable bolt carrier engagement for AR-15 and M16 platform rifles.

What Makes This Different

Strike Industries redesigned the traditional forward assist with an enlarged, textured surface that offers 40% more contact area than standard mil-spec versions. The Type III hard anodized gold finish resists wear and corrosion while maintaining consistent function through thousands of cycles. CNC machining from 4140 steel ensures dimensional accuracy and proper headspace alignment.

Key Features

• Enlarged contact surface with aggressive texturing for positive engagement
• 4140 steel construction with Type III hard anodizing in gold finish
• Drop-in replacement for mil-spec AR-15 and M16 upper receivers
• Precision CNC machined for exact dimensional tolerances
• Enhanced grip pattern prevents slipping during manipulation
• Corrosion-resistant finish rated for 5,000+ cycle durability
• Compatible with standard AR-15/M16 forward assist springs and detents

Field testing demonstrates consistent bolt carrier engagement across various ammunition types and environmental conditions. The enlarged surface area reduces finger fatigue during extended training sessions or competitive shooting events. Salt spray testing confirms the anodized finish maintains integrity through 500 hours of exposure, making it suitable for maritime and humid environments.
