7075 aluminum forward assist with radian aggressive machining. button face has a sharp etched pattern that grips a thumb. install is direct, took about 3 min. radian premium quality at a fair price
Radian forward assist in 7075 aluminum black is a great upgrade over a GI-style FA. Smoother spring action than mil-spec. Black anodize matches my Radian CH. Roll pin alignment was on the first try. Premium FA.
The Radian forward assist has a way smoother spring and a more comfortable serrated face than the GI style assist that came on my upper. Doesnt snag on anything. Visually it sits flush which I like. Worth it for an aero or expo upper.
Radian forward assist in 7075 aluminum black has no complaints from me. Smoother spring than the GI-style FA. Anodize matches my Radian charging handle. Roll pin alignment was on the first try. Solid premium FA upgrade.
