I voted Bacon. When I was in the Marines, a long time ago, even with the M-16A1, I really don't remember having to use the forward assist, because I had to. I remember one time, right after we got issued the A2, we were on a FAM fire, and I had fired around 400 or so rounds without a cleaning. There were two times that I remember actually having to use the assist, to seat the bolt...the guns were dirty, and after squirting some CLP in there, they ran just fine that last day.
I would say the fact that the guns were really dry caused the problem, more than the fact that they were dirty. JMHO.
