This AR-15 Extended Forward Assist in red from Strike Industries (brand part no. SI-AR-E-FA-RED) replaces the factory forward assist button on a standard AR-15 upper receiver with an extended, lightweight, low-profile paddle. The forward assist lets a shooter manually push the bolt carrier fully into battery if it doesn’t fully seat on its own, and the extended paddle on this version makes it easier to reach without shifting grip. It’s a color-accent upgrade as much as a functional one, finished in red rather than standard black.

Key Specifications

• Extends the forward assist paddle for easier reach on an AR-15 upper receiver.
• Built in a lightweight, low profile design.
• Finished in red rather than standard black, for a color-accent upgrade.
