The Forward Controls Design AR-15 Standard Triggerguard in black is a precision-machined replacement trigger guard built for shooters who want a rugged, refined control surface without unnecessary bulk. Machined from 7075 aluminum and hard coat Type III anodized, this triggerguard delivers the durability you'd expect from a billet component while maintaining clean lines that won't snag gear or gloves. Unlike some aftermarket guards, Forward Controls Design engineered this one specifically for TDP spec forged lower receivers, filling the gap forward of the pistol grip with a guard that stays put—no swing-down design here, just solid, no-nonsense engineering.
The straight profile features a canted front edge that actually matters: it makes seating magazines into the mag well smoother and more intuitive, whether you're running drills at the range or working through a course of fire. All sharp edges and corners have been broken, so you won't catch your hand or gear on the guard itself. The mounting system uses a roll pin in the rear (the classic, proven method) and a flush set screw up front. That front set screw sits flush with the receiver—no protrusion, no snag points. Forward Controls Design ships this triggerguard with both the roll pin and set screw included, so you're ready to install right out of the box. You'll need a 1/16" Allen wrench to tighten the front set screw, which isn't included.
Designed and manufactured in the USA, this triggerguard is built for shooters who understand that small parts matter. Whether you're assembling a duty rifle, a competition build, or a reliable hunting AR, a quality triggerguard that won't loosen and won't slow you down is worth getting right.

The Forward Controls Design Standard Triggerguard is designed specifically for TDP spec forged lower receivers. Check your lower's design before ordering. This guard does not swing down like some TDP spec models—it remains in the fixed position.
The guard ships with a roll pin (rear) and set screw (front) included. You'll need a 1/16" Allen wrench to tighten the front set screw; the wrench is not included but is a standard size readily available at any hardware store.
Forward Controls Design opted for a front set screw design similar to Magpul's approach because it's reliable, doesn't loosen over time, and keeps the screw flush with the receiver so it won't catch or protrude.
Yes. The 7075 aluminum is machined to strength and finished with hard coat Type III anodize—a military-grade finish that resists corrosion and wear. This guard is built to hold up through regular use and training.
