That's an M&P-15 Sport. Before the recent craziness, it was a $650 AR...

 

[OMG-ZOMBIES]

I bought one at the last 1500 for $585.

Long gone are the days that the forward assist matters

Those p.o.s. gas tube jam-o-matics weren't worth the 800 dollars to begin with. The only decent ar's were already priced through the roof.

Until the day comes that you need it!

Been shooting ARs 30 yrs and can't recall ever using the FA. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I've been driving a car for more than 40 years. Never needed my emergency brake. Maybe I'll have it removed. You know, get rid of all that "dead-weight".

I agree with you. And why would you want to jam a round in that won't chamber? If I was in battle and down to my last bullet maybe...

That gun is sold-- "done deal" is what the ad says

 

[Glockowner]

I have an M&P 15 sport. Bought it earlier this year and have had zero problems with it. It is a well put together firearm and was well worth the price. My Marine younger brother advised the FA and dust cover would be of no use to me.

... My Marine younger brother advised the FA and dust cover would be of no use to me.

To each his own, but Eugene Stoner designed the AR (actually M16) with the forward assist and the dust-cover.
I've never had to use it either, but I'm still glad it's there.

 

[Shootin'IN]

This sight still has receivers listed don't know if they have any.
The price is high enough they just may have one if you want to give them a try.

Yes, found the ad just browsing the Florida classifieds, which of course are crappy compared to INGO's.

I may be wrong, but I think the original design had neither but was added later.

I believe you're correct Sir. I find the dust cover nice for keeping crud out, and I have used my FA once to get the bolt forward enough to take the upper off the lower. A piece of zip tie stopped the bolt and while I could have drove it forward through the dust cover opening the FA did its job. On a side note AR deals still exist, I sold my complete lower for cheap a couple weeks ago. Not everyone is out for blood.

I bought a used one for that yesterday, and 10 PMAGS for $18 a pop from Cabelas. A little more than what I wanted to pay for the mags, but a hell of a lot better than Ebay, Gunbroker, or the forum classifieds. There is still hope gentleman. Be patient, and don't give into these dick heads out there price gouging.

I would view the forward assist as I do firearms as a whole. I would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

However, I never had to use my forward assist either :-)
