Fitted a AR Gas Vent in place of forward assist. Expells all excess gas to the side of the gun. Never had anything back through the charging handle when suppressed.
I don't miss the forward assist - it's not a fighting rifle, so who wants to force a round into the chamber if it doesn't want to go? And closing quietly when hunting - just pushing the bolt forward with your thumb in that little bolt recess is more than enough to lock it in.
