Ive used the forward assist, all it does is make a bad problem worse! So from my experience all the FA does is add weight and compound any malf's if used, now the dust cover/name tag is a must!lol My first AR was a Olympic Arms, never had any problems with it
For those looking to use the AR platform for hunting, let me tell you this about the forward assist. Many times I have been in a stand and found I did not load a round in the chamber. As many know, your are not suppose to ride the bolt slowly b/ it just won't seat the round correctly. So as not to make that loud rack, I have found that riding the bolt and then hitting the forward assist and seatting the round has saved me a few times when I have an animal close to my stand and no round in the chamber. Just throwing that out there.
