Even though it is not a comforting feeling being issued a piece with a Fwd Assist, I found it a necessary evil in the field. Along with the dust flap.
We spent a lot of time in a swampy environment where the piece sometimes got submerged in dirty water.
As mentioned in another forum, it was a good idea to open the action a bit and "drain" the bore.
Bits of floating detritus also got into the action and magazines as well.
Sometimes we would empty and disassemble the mags and clean out the stuff.
