I have read the FAQ's

Don't know if it being wolf has anything to do with it or not.

Could not even be an ammo problem


Was at the range and fired about 200rds of wolf and ultra max ammo. I had 4 FTF's with the wolf. previous rd ejected with not problems and gun went back into battery just fine. Happened in 2 different mags, which I thought were fine, I have used them many times before. Is it even possible to link the FTF's to the ammo or do I need to go back and do some magazine testing?

Wolf is some dirty ammo.  That would be my guess on what happened.

Sounds like your AR is short stroking.  Could very much be caused by under-powered wolf.

Look up how to fix short stroking in the troubleshooting threads...

got it, guess I never really grasped the concept of short stroking since it has never happened to me until now. I'm gona blame it on some under powered wolf until it happens again with different ammo.

Edit: But that doesn't mean I'm gona stop shooting wolf, I can handle a few FTF's when I just out shooting at dirt banks...think of it as immediate action drill practice

Also note that if your rifle is new, that can cause short-term problems with underpowered ammo.  As you put more rounds thru it, it'll loosen up a little, and for many folks the problems dissapear.
