    1. In all the hundreds of thousands of rounds I have fired in M16's and AR15's I've never once had to use the forward assist. Isn't that strange?

  4. I did have to use it a couple times. Generally (from my memory) because it hadn't yet been cleaned and I over lubed it to ensure it worked. Lesson learned.

  7. Hmm , and not one school shooting back then either. Even tho little Johnny could walk right into the sporting goods store and buy one , if he had the cash.
