Robert, Yes the XM15 does have forward assist. If you need to use your forward assist you better clean your rifle. I have 8 AR's all with forward assist never used it in over 10,000 rounds. This is basically combat, sand, dirt, bad ammo use item.

Robert, Both the 7 and 10 inch models have the "Forward Assist" pictured here ---- https://www.google.com/search?q=Bushmaster+XM15+7+PATROLMAN+ENH&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiQ7ceDmd7fAhVP0FkKHR-GBFIQ_AUIDygC&biw=1920&bih=938#imgrc=7TiAlyzUHtNeqM:
