In 21 years I have used the forward assist exactly 3 times. Each time was when I accidentally put 31 rounds into the mag and not 30. The spring pressure didn't allow for the BCG to go all the way home. A push of the forward assist and things were where they were supposed to be.

This was after looking into the ejection port and seeing what the problem was.
