Forward Actuation System (FAS™)

While many forward charging systems exist, most are adaptations added to legacy designs. StrikeCore’s Forward Actuation System (FAS™) is a purpose-built, integrated architecture developed specifically for the LFR platform.

FAS™ is a non-reciprocating, forward actuation system featuring a low-profile, non-protruding handle that lays flat against the rifle to minimize snag hazards and interference. The actuator position is configurable via an optional lug, allowing mission-specific setup.

Designed to be resistant to fouling, debris, and environmental contamination, FAS™ operates without lubrication, supporting reliability in austere environments and Code Amber–compliant operations.
