FORWARD ASSIST
The forward assist allows you to help the bolt lock into the barrel, but it will only be
useful on rare occasions when the bolt fails to lock automatically. When you must use
the forward assist, it is usually time for you to clean your rearm, paying particular
attention to the cleanliness of the chamber and bolt. Hunters may nd the forward
assist useful when trying to load their rearms more quietly in the eld. This is done
by releasing the bolt slowly with the charging handle and then pushing the forward
assist, forcing the extractor to engage the cartridge rim and locking the bolt into the
barrel extension.
