That is a forward assist, in case the bolt doesn't lock into battery. In such a situation, one would push on the forward assist, engaging a rod which fits into a series of grooves along the bolt, helping to push it into battery.
the word "assault" was not supposed to be in the title. i have contacted the company (expert village/demand media) multiple times and they have yet to fix this huge error. i apologize. had i known it would be titled this way, i would not have done the videos. - Caleb Kelly (the guy in the videos)
the ar-15 charging handle will fit in a m4 gbb correct?

You have very good tutorials on this rifle but i have one question.
What is the "button"-like thing sticking out to the right next to the charging handle?

Just got my AR 15 as well, and found that your videos are the best out of a bunch I went over. Keep up the excellent work!
