I could care less about forward assist. ...it's just extra weight!

Sorry if this has been addressed, but does this receiver accept pistol 10 round mags?

Any STANAG spec mag will work, just like any AR.

 

[griffin86]

I would take 6 uppers with FA.

So it appears that we will have to make some uppers with the F/A
Once we get closer to that point we will reach out to everyone and confirm style and quantities.

 

[GrizzlyLC]

100% would pay extra for FA. You don't think you'll need till you do, also pretty useful for doing press checks.

As for the wait time on the FRT, I think they are up to something with this, maybe waiting for C-71 to go through

That is pretty much our feeling as well

What bearing would c71 have on The classification? Honest question.

 

[G.Mitchell]

Happy to hear forward assists will be an option at some point.

 

[xdmer]

I still say forward assist is not needed.

[Pariegh]

I would prefer having forward assist, not because it's needed but because I want it. I find AR's look kind of naked without it.

 

[juancarlos]

I seem to be in the minority but I would prefer no FA. I like the look of the slick side.

 

[Miltiades]

The FA was a bad idea from the very beginning and Stoner objected to it but the all knowing US Army insisted. If the round does not chamber there's a problem that needs attention. By forcing it into the chamber you could end up with more problems than you will have by ejecting the round and diagnosing the problem. We are not talking here that you are under attack by ISIS lunatics and you need to get the rifle firing the round or you're gone, in other words in a desperate situation. Eject and diagnose.

 

[Baldemar]

No forward assist needed IMO.

We aren't using it for ramming out of spec/dirty rounds into the chamber.

Then what does one use it for? lol

 

[DILLIGAF]

Then what does one use it for? lol

If you need to ask, you obviously dont need it.

 

[Pierre-Luc]

Hunting application.
People ride the bolt home and close it with the FA for less noise.
