Olympic Arms....I've read some good things, especially for the price. It's a good accurate gun for plinking. I put a sweet AR the other weekend for about 700. DPMS upper RR lower...super tight. I have heard mixed things about wolf mmo. The metal to metal contact wears out the gun quicker. I haven't shot wolf out of mine, but I have in other guns..Just real dirty..Its cheap though...Try it

Just a FYI, WOLF no longer lacquer coats thier ammo. They also do not use steel casings anymore. They are really trying to clean up because they have a bad image in the gun world. Having said that, I would shoot wolf ammo anyday out of my AK, but never thru my AR. I just feel like putting supreme gas in my cadillac weapon.....

The lacquer on the case doesn't melt at the temperatures experienced during firing of the weapon. Also, Wolf has also gone with their new "Polymer Coating" making this pretty much a non-issue.
I'll leave that one to markm

Before I started using Wolf ammo in my M4 clone, I've read a few assorted negative post and replies reguarding Wolf. That being said, I went ahead and purchesed 60rds to see if my Bushy and CMMG upper liked it or not.
That being said, both upper has digested many thousands of rounds since than. Perhaps, a none chromed barrel & chamber "might" have issues,but that I know nothing about. Try it, your AR should like it as well. TG

Since when did Wolf stop using steel casings? I know all about the new polymer coated cases but the case is still STEEL. They switched from a copper plated steel JACKET to a copper jacket a while ago if that is what you mean. |

I also would like to know if your information is correct. I just bought a new batch of Wolf and the box still says steel casings. BTW the previous 1000 rounds of Wolf were great. Accuracy was 2" at 50 yds (prone, irons) and not a one failed to feed, extract, or fire. This was out of my Bushy 14.5-incher. |

My bad fellas, What I meant is what the actual jacket of the bullet is now. The claim they use copper or bimetal now???

Very dirty but only one bad round out of the 1000 I shot.

Yes, Wolf makes two types of .223 ammo. One style has a copper jacketed bullet and the other is a bi-metal jacket. |

In my experience wolf is very dirty ammo. It does leave more debris than other higher cost ammo.
Also, steel cased ammo causes excess wear on your extractor. All the wolf I have seen has been steel cased. I suggest not using it. |

You've been around here awhile, so you should be aware that this just isn't true. It's just another one of those pesky internet myths. |

Wolf is perfectly fine to use in an AR. Some people baby their equipment (their perrogative whrn they spend that kind of $$$). However one of the myths you will quickly find dispelled is that "the AR is unreliable". Bullshit. It can and will take abuse. Nothing can take abuse like an AK but guys here have funneled 1000s of rounds of Wolf through theirs and the only negative consequence is extra time cleaning the dirty weapon.
Oly? I consider it strictly second tier and wouldn't bother with it (but I'm a snob). Many people on this board have been very happy with theirs though. What I specifically dislike about them is that they do not (or at least did not) offer a chrome-lined barrel. |

Spend a little more $ and buy brass cased ammo.
