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...

Excellent fit and finish by John, Verified Owner, May 20, 2021

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 o...

M4E1 Upper by JJ, March 20, 2023

Installed on my M4E1 upper and it jams up and digs in. Swapped back to the stock forward assist and zero problems. I see others have had this same issue with the same upper. It’s a neat design but does not function and am now stuck with it due to the...
