Strike Industries AR Forward Assist Blue Anodized Aluminum AR-15/M16

The Strike Industries AR Forward Assist delivers enhanced functionality with distinctive blue anodized aluminum construction for AR-15 and M16 platforms. This precision-machined component replaces standard forward assists with improved ergonomics and visual appeal. Strike Industries engineered this forward assist to provide reliable bolt closure assistance while adding a custom aesthetic to any build.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard mil-spec forward assists, this Strike Industries component features a larger, more ergonomic button surface for easier operation under stress or with gloves. The Type III hard anodized finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard phosphate coatings. The blue anodization process creates a uniform, fade-resistant color that maintains its appearance through thousands of cycles.

Key Features

• Type III hard anodized aluminum construction for maximum durability
• Enlarged button surface improves grip and operation
• Mil-spec dimensions ensure drop-in compatibility with AR-15/M16 uppers
• Blue anodized finish resists corrosion and wear
• Precision CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum

This forward assist performs reliably in adverse conditions where bolt closure assistance becomes critical. Law enforcement and competitive shooters benefit from the improved tactile feedback and positive engagement. The anodized surface maintains its appearance through extended use, making it suitable for duty rifles that see regular field use. The enlarged button provides consistent operation whether wearing tactical gloves or shooting barehanded.
