LBE ARTDFA – Teardrop Forward Assist
The LBE ARTDFA Teardrop Forward Assist brings classic style and improved function to modern AR-15 builds. Designed with the iconic teardrop shape used on early military rifles, this component not only completes the look of retro-style rifles but also improves usability in real-world conditions.
With more surface area and a sloped angle, the teardrop design offers faster, more confident engagement when needed—especially with gloved hands or under stress.

Ally Munitions Notes
This is one of our favorite forward assist upgrades—especially for vintage-inspired or clone-style builds. The classic silhouette gives off a subtle retro vibe, while the enhanced shape adds real-world functionality by offering more grip when it matters. Whether you’re building out a 1980s-style carbine or just want a more usable forward assist, this part delivers.
Pro Tip:
When installing, lightly grease the shaft and roll pin to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear over time.
