Forward Controls Design Low Drag Forward Assist Is Perfect For Ambi Charging Handle

This Low Drag Forward Assist (LDFA) features a snag-free design and is specifically designed for ARs with ambidextrous charging handles. The rimless design of this forward assist permits the user of an ambidextrous charging handle to use the right latch without snagging the finger or the fingernail.

Forward assists are commonly featured on AR upper receivers and are used to return the bolt to the firing position should it fail to close on its own. It can also be used during operations requiring a certain amount of stealth, as it permits the bolt to be closed quietly.

*The LDFA is designed and made to Colt's TDP Specs and tolerances, and will work with Colt's TDP Spec upper receivers which should have a 0.314" diameter plunger hole. If you have a billet receiver or a forged upper from unknown origin/brand, please measure the plunger hole in the forward assist housing. If it's less than 0.312 in diameter, the LDFA might not fit, or will be a tight fit.
