Does this weapon have a forward assist? And if no does this hinder the weapon in anyway? I’ve noticed a bunch of companies going with no forward assist and from my experience they are needed? I guess it depends on how smoothly the weapon operates

Hi William and welcome. It does not hinder the weapon. I have many AR's with and without forward assists and have not had to use it once. I also have two Anderson AR's, one in 5.56 and one in .308 and they have been flawless in operation. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

It does not have a forward assist or dust cover. Whether this is a hindrance or not is up to you, the topic has been debated for about 80 years now. It is generally a total non-issue in my experience and most of my rifles do not have one. The single time I have needed and not had one was with a new shooter riding the bolt closed and that just required pushing the BCG forward with one finger by the dust cover cutout.
