Do they exist? Seen someone trying to sell an Armalite with a slick side upper like a DPMS. Factory built rifle or a build up? Your thoughts on the Slick sides?

The AR10 didn't come with a forward assist option until relatively recently.

Mine works fine

I know that but im talking no FA or shell deflector at all?

If you're going for the original AR10 look, I believe someone even makes the one with the cocking handle inside (i.e. on top of the upper ) of the carry handle like the original Armalite AR10. Plenty of info and pics on this other forum.

Remember the FA was a solution for lack of cleaning gear and dirty ammo in the early days of the smaller caliber AR15/M16. Not necessary for operation in most of the rifles out there. I've used it maybe twice in the times I've fired one. I figure better to have and not need it than to need it and not have it.
