Spikes Tactical forward assist assembly is a complete pre-assembled unit. Spring is correctly tensioned, doesnt stick. Roll pin alignment with my upper was on the first try. Snugly seated against the upper without any wobble.
Spikes Tactical forward assist assembly is a complete pre-assembled unit. Spring is correctly tensioned, doesnt stick or float. Roll pin alignment with my upper was on the first try. Would buy another for a second build.
