The Strike Industries forward assist plunger delivers functional reliability without unnecessary weight. This is precision engineering in its purest form—every component serves a purpose.
Plunger Assembly: Machined from lightweight aluminum, the plunger reduces overall rifle weight without compromising the forward assist function. The blue anodized finish provides both corrosion resistance and a professional appearance.
Pawl: Constructed from tool steel, the pawl engages the ratchets on your bolt carrier with positive, repeatable force. Tool steel was selected specifically for its durability and resistance to wear—this component will outlast the rifle.
For shooters who demand a forward assist but refuse to carry unnecessary weight, this is the solution. The tool steel pawl maintains engagement integrity through thousands of cycles, while the aluminum construction keeps your rifle nimble. Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with AR-15 maintenance.
