This forward assist assembly is a replacement component machined from steel and finished in black, built for AR-15 upper receivers. It is supplied as a partial assembly that includes the forward assist button and the forward assist pawl. The spring is not included. Once installed in the upper receiver's forward assist housing, the pawl interfaces with the serrations on the bolt carrier, giving the shooter a way to manually push the bolt carrier forward into battery when needed.
The button and pawl are machined from steel and finished in black, a durable pairing for parts that take repeated mechanical contact. The button sits at the exterior of the upper receiver where the shooter can press it, while the pawl sits inside the housing and engages the forward assist serrations cut into the bolt carrier. Because this is a partial assembly, the return spring is not part of the kit, so builders will need to source a compatible spring separately to complete the assembly. It makes a practical option for anyone replacing a worn or missing button or pawl, or completing a custom upper build where the spring is already on hand.
This assembly is compatible with AR-15 upper receivers with a forward assist housing as a replacement component. A compatible forward assist spring must be sourced separately.
Follow all manufacturer instructions and safe handling practices.
Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
