Any opinion on DPMS Sportical AR 15,223 CAL? Wally World has one for $587 + tax. Don't have much knowledge on all the numerous brands out there. Please no WM remarks. Thanks.
That's an outright, contemptible lie! :shock: The USAF bought the ORIGINAL ARs with NO forward assist, and they kept buying them that way, they NEVER bought M16A1s. I know, I instructed on the things. It was the ARMY who demanded the forward assist and I was taught in Tech School (by TSgt Lou Mango--remember his name to this day! :wink: ) that the only reason the Army demanded the things was because just had to "improve" the Air Force rifle in some way to save face.Richbaker said:A forward assist was put on at the Air Force's insistence, none of the other services felt a need.... !

I enjoyed it and mine will shoot .625 MOA at 100 yards. I have just a little over 600.00 in it.
The deflector wasn't added until the A2 version, which also included "improved" sights, a longer buttstock, symmetrical (round) handguards, and a finger-thingie on the pistol grip.batmann said:The original M-16 (AR) had no 'Forward' assist or shell casing deflector, but did have a dust cover. The FA and deflector were added later.
