>still listening to the pleb army and putting forward assists

wow really made me think

You don't fucking SMASH the forward assist. You REPEATEDLY PRESS IT to bring the bolt back into battery.

>>33704936
It's good to have so you can still push the bolt into battery should you ever release the charging handle gently for whatever reason.

>>33704986
but I would never for any reason

>>33705335
Stealthy sneeki reload maybe? Idk :P

Stop "smashing" it and try just pushing it.

I don't even use the forward assist. I just press my thumb against the bolt until it goes into battery.

I was pushing and smacking the forward assist once and it didn't work. This did.

Stoner also thought that the AR15 didn't need a chrome lined chamber and barrel either, and fuck the Air Force for their shitty rifle.

>>33704936
It's called a forward assist, not a jam clear. It's there because the AR is such a shitty design with a weak action that sometimes the spring doesn't release forward with enough force to close the bolt, so you hit it to fully seat the round. It's also used for more silent chambering of the weapon.

Actually chrome lining is not needed, when its nitrided. See SIG550 for example of a service rifle that isnt chrome lined.

Nope, he actually said the exact opposite, and the army ignored him.

Every single non-chromed M-16 which shit the bed in Vietnam was build against the advice of Stoner and Colt. He raised the issue before they went into production.

or maybe there's dirt and grit in the upper receiver that causes the bolt to slow down and pressing the forward assist helps it go into battery? you're automatically assuming the only possibe cause of failure to go into battery is a chamber obstruction. you do know lubing an AR-15 is one of the main things you do to avoid malfunctions right? because guess what, friction on the bolt carrier is a big cause of malfunctions and it does no harm to tap the forward assist to ASSIST THE FORWARD TRAVEL when it's stiff. so give me one example of the use of the forward assist causing a case head seperation or stuck case or even a kaboom, because it never happens

The AR-15 is a closed system, that doesn't happen.

When dirt stops the bolt from closing, it's always forward of the bolt carrier.

Happens only to people who use their forward assist. Does not happen to people who don't use the forward assist.

>>33706288
that was a squib lmao, and maybe he jammed another round in by pushing the squib further forward but it's borderline cherry picking because squibs are extremely unlikely to happen, especially with regular quality ammo

also

>muh closed AR-15 meme

it's not fucking vacuum sealed, dirt does literally get inside the buffer tube and receivers and it builds up, most of the time when you use the forward assist it'll snap forward or only require a very small amount of force. you'd know if something was in the way because you'd feel it being really heavy

>>33706108
> super sneaky operation
>doesn't have a round chambered well in advance
>mfw super quiet forward assist saved me again

Was literally thinking about this on the way to work. Why do we still have a "make the problem worse" button on our rifles?

No rifle needs a chrome bore or barrel. The problem was the absolute dogshit dirtier than a tijuana whore ammo we used for the first half of Vietnam.
