    I like the FA even though it really serves no purpose. I just like having it there. Is it logical? Maybe not so I guess it is just preference.

    I have one on the way for a light weight coyote gun. It's going to have an AP Customs carbon fiber handguard and an Ace skeleton stock on a PSA lower. Also using a PSA hammer forged 16" barrel.

    2: There is something blocking the round in which case the FA is just going to make a bad problem worse.
    Uh, sand in the action. The FA will fix the problem right away, BTDT.

    As a left handed shooter, I use an ambi charging handle so I can charge the rifle without having to reach over the gun or take it down from my shoulder. I really like the idea of not having the FA in my way. I've toyed with the idea of the Vltor but decided it is too expensive. I'm going to give this Ranier unit a lot of thought.

    I used one for a dedicated .22 rim fire build and will be useing one for a varmit build. I like the upper and have no use for it in these builds.

    I am a lefty also, and while the forward assist can be annoying, I would rather have it on a fighting gun than not.

    On a comp or hunting gun, have at it. On a patrol or defense weapon, I just can't see it. You won't know you need it, until you do...

    This charging handle could be used as a forward assist, though seems like a lot of debris would be allowed in here:

    Takes the 'T' right out of SPORTS. I can't dig it in a ftf situation. Kinda cool looking though.
