STRIKE FORWARD ASSIST HEX BLK

Description

Strike Industries designed this forward assist as a direct mil-spec replacement for the AR-15 and M16 platform, packaged as a complete assembly with spring and roll pin so the swap requires nothing beyond what a standard lower receiver disassembly calls for. The body is machined from high-strength carbon steel and heat treated, which keeps the geometry stable under repeated use and maintains reliable engagement with the bolt carrier’s ratchet teeth when the shooter needs to manually close the bolt under pressure. The hex profile on the button face serves a functional purpose: it gives fingers more purchase than a smooth dome, particularly when wearing gloves or when the hand is wet, so the nudge lands where it needs to without fumbling. The black finish on this version is applied to the steel for corrosion resistance. This is a straightforward upgrade path for anyone rebuilding a lower, replacing worn parts, or speccing a fresh build who wants a known-geometry part over whatever came off the shelf originally. It fits any mil-spec AR-15 or M16 lower receiver without modification. Because the assembly includes the spring and roll pin, there are no additional small parts to source separately — an easy oversight on a parts list that turns into a delay at the bench.
