Strike Industries Lightweight Forward Assist – AR-15/M16

The Strike Industries Lightweight Forward Assist replaces the standard milspec component with a streamlined, weight-reduced alternative for AR-15 and M16 pattern rifles. Shooters looking to shave ounces from their build or achieve a cleaner upper receiver profile will appreciate the reduced-mass design, which maintains full functionality for manually seating the bolt carrier group when needed.

Machined from aluminum with a black anodized finish, this forward assist installs as a drop-in replacement using standard AR-15 upper receiver tools. The reduced profile sits flush with the upper receiver, minimizing snag points while preserving the ability to chamber a round under adverse conditions. Installation requires basic armorer-level knowledge and a roll pin punch set.
