Never had an issue with either. Have extras of both, but usually don't carry them with me to the range.
I don't use FA. If the round won't go easily, I want another round. I am sure not going to hammer a bad round further into the chamber, only to get it possibly stuck worse. FA has caused way more problems that it has ever helped.I got some ammo passed to me that needs the forward assist on a regular basis to put the BCG into battery.
It's reloads and I know the issue, but yes, the forward assist is a must on any of my AR's.
