Ok, so you used your thumb in the ejection port door scallop.
Enjoy the DWR coating on your outerwear no longer working after you get CLP all over it. Fucking brilliant idea.  It has a few good uses. Dealing with malfunctions isn't really one of them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Instruction like this is so incredibly wrong. If tap-rack-bang (immediate action) does not solve the problem, then you have to pull the mag, lock the bolt back (if this doesn’t happen then you clear the bolt override) and clear the rounds. Looking at the chamber will only slow down the potential for getting the gun working as quickly as possible. Please don’t teach this objectively inefficient process to people. St Kyle of Kenosha didn't have time for all of that. Just a couple of taps and he was back in business. Grossklutz has the missing bicep to prove it. |

The forward assist was very popular on the rifle ranges at Fort Benning in the 1980s. I attribute it mostly to the abused magazines we were issued. The guys that loaded them destroyed the feed lips with their abusive speed loading techniques. Magazines set down in the sand next to you (to save a few seconds pulling them from a magazine pouch) was probably the number two reason the bolt would not fully close during qualification.

Oh well, as long as it doesn’t fuck with Sawyer’s Permethrin I’m still good. I’m more worried about ticks than my rifle not having a FA. |

Eh. I'm used to it now. After using them for so long in the military, having an AR pattern weapon without a FA feels odd.
You probably don't need one, it's true. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I tried tearing them down once, but the limestone was too hot and I burned my fingers, because pyramid blocks sitting in the sun get hotter than a BCG does. They aren't very well put together. I bet you could just climb to the top and just kick em over. |

I appreciate the aesthetics of a slick upper but I've used the forward assist a few times in my long life and it's part of my tap-rack-bang reflex, so I want one on my AR. But, I'll be me, you do you, IDGAF.

I like a forward assist. I've needed it a couple of times to coax a round home and I use it while hunting with an AR all the time.
So to make things clear: I like a forward assist I like 9mm over .45 I use Mobile 1 synthetic as lube on my guns Quad rail is best rail Chili isn't chili without beans Glocks are best striker guns Have I missed any? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: He didn’t design is as a 223 in the first place either. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The best answer for this question. Did Eugene Stoner designed it in the first place? He didn’t design is as a 223 in the first place either. He also didn't think a chrome-lined bore and chamber were necessary either, IIRC. As far as the .223 issue: The .308 buffer spring had more than enough power to chamber a round, not so much the 5.56 under certain conditions (like limp-wristing when you charge the weapon from the CH). That's why a lot of people teach to lock the bolt back, insert the mag, and charge the first round with the bolt release. Or so a sheriff's department armorer told me back in 1992. If I'm not mistaken, most .308 versions do not have a forward assist. |

I do not believe the SR25 ever had the FA. I didn't think it was a "thing" with .308 versions. |
