When was the round forward assist first used?

After months and months I got my final A1 parts in a few days ago, last night I duracoated in black tactical T-1, my A1 upper with out shell deflector, A1 stock with rubber pad, no trap door, and Triangular handgaurds. It came out awesome and I finished putting it all together today. It took forever to get the correct parts I wanted but it was well worth it. I love my new A1 build. Its the exact same A1 my father used in the Corps in '69 Vietnam except the lower is a new version.

No need for a SP1 just do as I did and it takes time but its cheaper then a SP1

Thanks all. Al, yes that was my question. I'm putting together a replica A1. It will have a 1/9 barrel, but I've seen several sources which mention and show pictures of late 1960s M16A1 HBARs. They have the light heavy barrels and bird cage flash suppressors. Can't afford a SP1.
