Experiment with doing it at the range and see if it works every time. The tighter your bolt lock-up is, the more you'll have to hammer on the forward assist.
If you can ease it forward and get a full lock-up every time, you're good to go.
If you drop the hammer on a bobcat and get a "click", it's a heartbreaker.
