This video from Brownells Gun Tech™ Caleb Savant explains the function and purpose of the dust cover on an AR-15 rifle. The dust cover is designed to protect the firearm's action from dirt, debris, and dust, especially during transport or in harsh environments. The video contrasts the AR-15's dust cover with that of the Kalashnikov AK-47/AK-74 series, which features multiple dust covers. It also briefly touches on the necessity of the forward assist.
