Timber Creek
Overview
The Timber Creek TCO AR Forward Assist Assembly is a complete assembly designed for AR-15 platforms, featuring a standard style with a striking red finish. This forward assist allows the shooter to manually engage the bolt carrier group, ensuring proper chambering of rounds, which is especially useful in situations where a round fails to fully seat. This component is commonly found in builds utilizing a mid-length gas system chambered in 5.56 NATO, providing both functionality and a pop of color to your rifle.

Timber Creek red forward assist is a sharp accent against a black upper. Aluminum body with bright red anodize. Spring tension is correct, pawl moves freely. Roll pin alignment was on the first try. Solid budget accent part.
color matches the timber creek red anodize family if youre building a matching set. installs like any FA. spring is in the kit but a spare detent would round out the kit at this price
Timber Creek red forward assist is a small but real quality of life improvement over milspec. The bright red anodize is a sharp accent. Spring tension is correct. Roll pin install was on the first try. Solid budget upgrade.
