The forward assist on an AR-15/M-16 style rifle forces the bolt forward. When you push the forward assist, it pushes against notches in the bolt carrier, which force the bolt to move forward and lock into the barrel extension even harder than it already is. It's used to silently close the bolt securely, and to make sure the bolt is in battery.

How would you test the forward assist after assembling it?

To test the forward assist after assembling it, you can load a dummy round into the chamber, then push the forward assist to ensure it can fully engage the bolt. Cycle the charging handle, then push the forward assist again to verify that it remains engaged. Repeat this process a few times to ensure the forward assist functions smoothly and effectively.
