Mo Zee Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I am thinking if purchasing one similar to this. Is there anything I should like out for? Is it a straight swop obviously with the correct tools? I have an old AR without the forward assist, will this work on mine? SOrry for all the questions...

GentlemanJim Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) Yes it will work. depending on what your lower is ...it may require an offset front take down pin...no problem easy to get and cheap. Jim Ps your old bolt carrier may not have the notches for the forward assist...it will still work and fit but the assist will not work without the proper bolt carrier. also easy to get new carrier Edited September 21, 2007 by GentlemanJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it there wont be any problems leaving an assist that is not functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 If you have a large-hole front pin lower, someone makes a large-hole flat-top upper for it: Daniel Defense. Since you'll be buying an upper anyway, it makes sense to get one that fits and doesn't require an offset pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
