All rifles should have some way to battery assist the bolt. This is not to jam something into the breach that doesn’t belong there as many will say. Rather, it is to ensure everything is home in less than ideal conditions. For the record the swoop put of the standard AR bolt in not good enough. If you have never had to use this method it is reasonable to see why someone would suggest it; until they try to use it.
This video is a sampling of guns I saw at Shot Show 2024 that I could not kick shut. They are wrong.
