Kyle Rittenhouse just said live on the Tucker Carlson show that he saw his AR was out of battery and hit the forward assist right before he shot Gage Grosskreutz.

Saw that. Amazing how well he did under pressure.Quote:

YMMV
I took a class with a famous tier one guy. He stated that they would press check under NODs on approach and didn’t want to risk the sound of a whole team dropping bolts. They would feel the round on the bolt, ease the charge handle into battery then use the FA. Very niche use but it isn’t expensive.

I don't care what some proclaimed tier 1 guy used to do. Not running the rifle hot is a very dumb idea, closely followed by the ignorant practice of "quiet loading" with the useless forward assist.Quote:

The lad fought for his life, and won.
5 pages minimum of mental masturbation....
People who understand the purpose and limitations of the FA like ‘em.
People who use them to smash a malfunction deeper into the upper think they’re useless.
