Got this for an AR pistol I'm currently building. Fits perfect into the Combat Armory upper receiver I'm using. I ordered the black one and the black has a nice satin finish to it. Another great product from Strike Industries.Highly recommended if you want a different looking forward assist.

The forward assist was installed on a Sig 716. The color looks great(red), and design is an excellent modern version. It was a fairly straight forward installation, use a punch pin and knock out the OEM forward assist. Then, carefully, from the top of the upper receiver, set the new punch pin in place and lightly tap on it to get it set in its bore. Once it is set, push the new forward assist with the spring into place. Hold the spring in place, and then tap on the pin until it is holding the spring and assist in place. Once it is, tap the pin the rest of the way into the bore. The new punch pin, spring and forward assist all fit together easily and snugly. The forward assist performs as it should, ratcheting the bolt carrier forward. The crown gives a better grip for your thumb then the old design. An excellent product by Strike Industries. If you want to ad style as well as a functional upgrade, this is the one.

So, I wrote an admittedly way-too-long review about their Ultimate Dust Cover (yes, a dust cover), and what I said about that item mostly translates here. Like a dust cover, a forward assist is a fairly innocuous item, and is typically more function than form. That said, if you want or need one as a replacement or for a build, why not get one that looks cool to match all the other Strike stuff you (probably) have on your rifle? The debate about the necessity of a forward assist rages on in the various trenches of the internet, so if you're in the pro-forward assist camp, maybe showing an anti-forward assist (ANTI-FA? That's hilarious…) warrior how cool they would be if they had one of these on their rifle would change their mind. Maybe not, but just sayin'…

80 rounds in and my charging handle is now half silver half blue from "wear". I was really excited about the blue line strike industries stuff and bought the charging handle the forward assist and the takedown pins. The take down pins are the best the other two are made for show guns that don't get used. I shoot competitively and in just one day of testing these look rough.

install was a breeze. Cool design and adds a nice splash of color

I ordered this to match a color scheme I’m doing on an AR build, only to find that it’s not green at all in person, but more of a muddy FDE. To be fair, the color is called FDE, but I trusted the picture more than the color name. Never ended up installing it, and returned it. The quality of the piece itself seems totally fine however.
