Strike Industries extended FA in lightweight low profile red would buy again. The extended button is easier to reach with gloves. Bright red anodize is a sharp accent. Spring tension is correct. Solid quality of life upgrade.
Strikes extended red forward assist is the accent I wanted on my otherwise stock looking upper. The extended button is easier to reach with gloves. Anodizing is a bright red, not orange leaning. Spring tension is on the firmer side but breaks in within 50 rounds.
