Instead I picked up a S&W M&P15 (the 2nd S&W AR I own) because I got a smoking deal on it ($650 after rebate).

What a great deal! I'm having a lot of those "woulda, coulda, shoulda" moments these days.

I saw a new S&W for sale at an online auction site this morning. At the time, the bid a bit over $2,000. A Sig M400 Enhanced was $2,500 and climbing. Oh well...

The only difference I saw from the time I served was the far forward placement of the non-trigger hand and perhaps thumbing the bolt-release (we usually would use our palm —wider surface area). What did you observer that was different?

Pretty much what my Marine friends who rotated back recently showed me - far forward support hand, use of the forward assist optional (watch when he loads the first Surefire mag).

The only time we would use the forward assist was during remedial action for a weapons jam.

I think far forward support hand became popular after I got out.
