The San Tan Tactical Ultra Grip Forward Assist is a hardened steel plunger assembly for AR-15 upper receivers (San Tan Tactical part no. STT-FWDAST). The forward assist pawl carries the company’s Ultra Grip texture, which is there to ensure positive engagement when a round needs a push to seat. A black nitride coating protects the steel from corrosion and abrasion. It is a straightforward replacement or upgrade for a worn, bent or missing plunger on a mil-spec upper, and it is American made.

Key Specifications

• The plunger is made from hardened steel, which stands up to repeated strikes against the bolt carrier.
• The coating is black nitride, which adds corrosion and abrasion resistance to the steel.
• The pawl uses STT Ultra Grip texture so it engages positively when you press it.
• It fits all mil-spec upper receivers, so it drops into standard AR-15 uppers.
• A plunger spring is included, so the assembly is ready to install without a separate spring purchase.
