JGifford, I haven't heard of the FA deadlining the weapon, but think it could happen in just the right circumstance with all the ingredients Murphy could dole out, but then the same could be said of a few components that are exposed to the elements as well :)

The internals come apart or break and lock it up tight. (Pawl pin)
The original m16 had no external plunger. The forward assist was the half moon. Cut out in the carrier. Fits the mk1 thumb and has 0 moving parts. Forward manipulation was limited by human ability and prevented users from making a bad situation worse via hamfisted wailing. You didn't think it was there just because it was a relief for the door detent, did you?Last edited by JGifford; 27 April 2015 at 04:46.

I have an SUV also, it's an Acura MDX. Wife usually drives it though. She doesn't like it when I take it to my range to shoot, it comes back with cow manure on it. I drive the Note cause it only cost me $15 in gas every 2 weeks, the savings goes into the ammo fund.

Nope I do know the shape in the carrier facing the dust cover wasn't a coincidence, and a form of forward assist already existed in that shape before the FA in its current housing came along.
As to its preventing the users from doing something stupid, of that I'm not sure whether it's by design, or simply a result of its shape that happens to prevent users from exerting too much force on it.

Still waiting for a Ti DLC version. I hate raw Ti.

Nice shot, man! Those are made by Northtech Defense for Forward Controls, aren't they? I've got a couple of the NTD titanium forward assists i'm thinking about customizing with a little heat anodizing just for something different.
I did manage to score a couple of ABC-R(f)s from the batch Rainier Arms got. They are little works of art. Looks like i need to build a new lower."It's time to start slapping people." - George Carlin

Northtech Defense does make the LDFAs for us
They will also make the ABC/R (billet) for us as well.
For folks that don't want a shiny component on a camo or black AR, there's the black oxide coated 17-4 stainless steel LDFA, the weight is still less than a factory FA (due to its rimless design and the shallow band next to the plunger's tip)

Duffy, I'd swear I saw a black Ionbond LDFA on one of your dealers' sites, but it's been sold out forever. Is that still a thing?

Indeed, it's on tacticalink.com. It was delayed and then never got done, now it's too late and expensive to send the complete Ti LDFAs to get coated, so we'll have to wait till the next LDFA-Ti production
