Timber Creek AR forward assist in black has no complaints from me. Spring tension is correct, pawl moves smoothly. Roll pin alignment was straightforward. Black anodize matches my Timber Creek dust cover. Solid budget upgrade.
Timber Creeks AR forward assist works as expected. Roll pin installs with a standard punch. The black anodize on the body has a slightly more matte finish than my Timber Creek dust cover, side-by-side comparison shows the difference.
