Strike Industries Fang Billet Aluminum Trigger Guard – Red (AR-15)

Description

The Strike Industries Fang takes the popular polymer Fang design and machines it out of billet aircraft-grade aluminum, then finishes it in a bold red anodized coat. That little forward "fang" isn't just for looks. It sits at the front edge of the guard and acts as a funnel that helps steer a fresh magazine into the well, so your reloads come together cleaner and quicker once you get the timing down. It's a small part that punches above its weight when you're running drills or just want fewer fumbled mag changes.

What the Fang Trigger Guard Brings to Your Lower

Being cut from aluminum instead of polymer, this version feels solid and holds its shape while staying light at right around 0.4 oz with the hardware. The red anodizing resists chipping and scratching and pairs nicely with other Strike Industries red accents if you're building out a matched setup. Because it's a low-profile billet piece, it also gives your trigger finger a comfortable resting spot when you're holding a ready position.

Fitment and Install Notes for the Fang

Here's a detail folks appreciate: this one installs with three M6 hex screws instead of the usual roll pin, so there's no punch work and no worrying about a missing fourth screw. Snug them down and keep the torque at or under 10 in/lbs so you don't strip anything. It drops onto most mil-spec AR-15 lowers, and it works on AR-308 pattern lowers too. One thing worth knowing up front: Anderson mil-spec lowers may need a little modification to get the holes to line up, so keep that in mind if that's your receiver.

One quick heads-up on color. Because of how the anodizing process works, the shade of red can vary slightly from batch to batch, so no two are guaranteed to be an exact match. It's a straightforward, good-looking upgrade that adds a bit of function and a lot of personality to an otherwise boring part of your rifle.
