Details:
The Luth-AR Teardrop Forward Assist Assembly brings a proven, old-school design back to modern AR builds with real functional benefits. The distinctive teardrop shape isn’t just a throwback—it provides a broader, more natural surface for your thumb, making the forward assist easier to engage when it actually matters. Whether you’re seating the bolt after a press check or clearing a stubborn round, the added leverage is immediately noticeable compared to a standard round button.
Easier Engagement When Conditions Aren’t Ideal
The elongated teardrop profile is easier to locate by feel, especially when wearing gloves or working in low-light conditions. Instead of hunting for a small, flush button, your thumb naturally finds the assist and delivers a confident, deliberate press. It’s a subtle ergonomic improvement that adds reassurance during manipulations where certainty and speed count.
Complete, Drop-In Assembly
This is a full forward assist assembly, not just a replacement button. It includes the forward assist body, spring, and roll pin, making it a true drop-in solution for AR-15 upper receivers that accept a standard forward assist. Installation is straightforward and familiar to anyone who’s assembled or serviced an AR upper before.
A Small Upgrade You’ll Appreciate When It Counts
You may not use the forward assist often, but when you do, you want it to be easy to find and positive to engage. The Luth-AR Teardrop Forward Assist Assembly delivers improved ergonomics, dependable function, and a classic profile that blends tradition with modern practicality.
If you’re building a new upper or refreshing an existing one and want a forward assist that’s easier to use and proven by decades of service, this is a simple, sensible upgrade.
