    Now I know why I don't believe in polls.
    According to this poll F/A uppers are the way to go, yet so far only about 20% of the confirmed orders we have for receiver sets have ordered F/A.

    Maybe I should have included an option for "whatever is ready first"?

    Anyway, thanks for the input guys.

    Definitely the case. I will be taking one of each for each lower, but I would favor the FA if it was ready first.

    If they were the same price i would defiantly go F/A, but i like my MV so i will be fine with S/S

    If I send 500$ deposit when would the next batch of receivers be ready?

    After 40 years of playing with ARs... I still fail to understand why someone would want to compound the problem of a round not wanting to properly feed into the chamber... by actually forcing it and jamming it even more... sort of like "I'm gonna show this ##### who's boss..." and rendering the gun totally useless now that it's totally jammed...
    I prefer to save money and more importantly save myself the aggravation...
    Thanks and keep up the good work.
    A more common use for the forward assist is to help re seat the bolt into battery after doing a quick chamber check to make sure there's a round in the pipe . really helpful for hunting or military setting .

    I only committed to a slick side for now, but will want a F/A next year for a hunting upper.

    I use the FA occasionally.... sometimes ill drop the bolt on a loaded mag, then pull the action back slightly to see if it did in fact pick up a round.... but after verifying that it did and dropping the t handle, the action doesnt often go back into full battery. So rather than trying to pull the action back far enough to slam fully closed (while doing so potentially cause a double feed). Ill simply bop the FA until the action goes closed.
