[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Just got finished with my first cleaning

Posted: 3/11/2006 7:15:54 PM EDT

Man oh man, these things aren't a Glock, thats for sure. I know it sure looks like I need some special tools, like to clean around the back of the chamber.

I used non-chlorinated brake cleaner to clean the firing pin channel, because I dont have any pipe cleaners. I hope that doesnt hurt anything. The only real thing that bothers me, is I dont know what all to oil and how much oil to use.

I did notice, that red sealer from the Wolf primers was gummed up around the extractor and around the firing pin and in the channel.

Anyway, now that I just noticed this forum, I'm going to read the tips here.

How did Wolf run in your AR?

The Wolf runs fine, no problems. It's the 55gr steel cased ammo. I picked up 1000 rds from Sportsmans Guide for around $125 shipped.

Most likely the way it runs in 95% of the other AR's PERFECTLY FINE!

Yup, the only problem I'm having with the Wolf, is keeping enough around.

I hear it works great, but I've yet to bother myself.

CLP is cheap.

Link? I don't see ammo on the site, unless I'm on the wrong one.

Edit - Nevermind. $125 shipped for 1000 rounds using $10 off coupon code. Not bad at all. I have somebody mailing me 100 rounds. If I like them, I'll stock up.

Thanks for the links.

I used the brake cleaner trick on my Glock pistols also. I just always used the non-chlorinated, because the regular stuff will effect the plastics (frame, channel liner etc etc).

It runs great in mine till last range visit a round jammed down my barrel and didnt fire.. I didnt see it and didnt realize all my magazines stopped feeding till I took it apart and saw the round still down the barrel,.

Other than that, which could happen I guess, Wolf is great. Its funny how some people wont touch it. More for me.
