Barrett Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I bought the wrong bolt. This one does not have the facets on the side for a forward assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Which upper do you have? Many 308 forward assists don't reach the serrations anyway and just push on the carrier shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrett Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 It is a CMMG. Although I am researching the comment from blue109. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forward assist is too short to reach most .308AR BCG bodies. It wouldn't hit the BCG body serrations, even if they were there. However, it does catch the shoulder on the carrier body, as it transitions from smaller to larger. On the AR15, you could ratchet the carrier closed for the full length of those serrations. on the .308AR carrier. when it catches the shoulder, it would be the equivalent of the last two or so clicks on an AR15 carrier body. True statement. So, let's say you sell this carrier because it doesn't have serrations on the body, and you buy a new carrier that DOES have serrations on the body - the forward assist won't reach them anyway.
