Santan AR15 Ultra Grip Forward Assist
- Firearm Group:

The San Tan Tactical AR15 Ultra Grip Forward Assist is a mil-spec replacement forward assist assembly designed to upgrade your AR upper receiver with improved ergonomics and durability. If you're building or upgrading an AR-15, you know that controls matter—especially ones you use under pressure. This forward assist swaps into any mil-spec upper and gives you a textured grip surface that locks in during operation, replacing the factory paddle with a control that actually feels purposeful in your hand.
Built from hardened steel and finished in black nitride, the Ultra Grip forward assist resists corrosion and abrasion in the field or at the range. The nitride coating is thin enough to preserve fit without adding bulk, and tough enough to handle routine wear. Plunger spring is included, so you're ready to install—no hunting for tiny parts or compatibility headaches.
Whether you're assembling an AR for hunting, tactical carbine competition, or a precision build, a reliable forward assist is one of those parts you want to set and forget. San Tan's focus on texture and mil-spec reliability means this upgrade works on everything from a budget build to a custom rifle without surprises.
