[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1676361, member: 2989"] Unless you're a pro operator who fights for a living or a soldier, I'd say ditch the forward assist if it's going to save you money. Not once have I ever used the forward assist, even in malfunctions or when a round refuses to go into battery and the bolt doesn't close all the way. Typically it's better to try and strip the round out and clear whatever is wrong and then rack a new round in. The forward assist is mainly an "O SH*T!" moment where you absolutely need to chamber that stuck round to get 1 good shot off... which honestly is all you will probably get because using the forward assist to mash a round in will most certainly cause more headaches after the fact.
