More proof that we are sometimes our own worst enemies.
What a dumbass. I remember seeing a History Channel episode where someone reported that he had a captured AK in Nam. Used to go out, put a few rounds through it for target practice and toss it in his locker. Few weeks later go and pull it out, kick the bolt open with his heel because it had rusted shut and take it out for some more practice. Yeah, that nasty Wolf is really going to fuck up a close tolerance machine like an AK... [rolleyes] |

and i bet he was a special forces navy walrus also. My guess would be he spent his tour cleaning tactical toilets at some airforce base in california.
That makes him a qualified weapons expert. mike |

I literaly bump fired over 3,000 before I clean
my AK. And it was with Wolf ammo for the most part. This was over maybe a 4 month period. |

What it boiled down to was that the guy was a gun snob. He was blathering on about some M1A that some army sharpshooter dude built him that would shoot sub moa at 700 yards and how he sold it bla bla bla.
Probaly didn't like seeing a tall young white guy come in and shoot winchester white box out of a bastard Glock 17 and wolf ammo out of a commie gun. |

it's dirty, its inconsistent, but it goes "bang", bumpfires and the lacquer story is total [bs2] too. |

Wolf is great for AKs and SKSs.
I don't recommend it for an AR. Why? The laquer rubs off, and all those little red crystals get EVERYWHERE, mainly, in your gas tube. |

Lee makes dies for 7.62x39. I have a set, picked them up when I thought there may be a time when I can't find an abundance of disposable fodder. I've found a number of people that never heard of cheap imported ammo and buy Winchester, Federal, and Remington stuff.

Probaly because no one reloads 7.62x39 Haven't heard of a AK KBin but we do(i don't but one of the guys i hunt with does) reload 7.62x39 for two of the drive guns during deer season. Where we hunt you won't see a shot over 100 yards on a drive and in heavy brush I'll take a 16inch barreld AK, it makes life so much easier. |

Shizzle - Was it that old focker with the long beard and glasses? I know because I use to live in Phoenix and I spent some time at that range every now and then. That guy would always bust my balls about my Calico M-950. Every frickin line inspection he would always ask me "that's not the full auto version is it?", with a hint of disapproval for the firearm. I would always say "no sir it's semi but thanks for your concern." He was always telling total bullshit stories to everyone he spoke with.

Wolf 7.62x39 is great for my SAR-1 and SKS, never a hiccup.
I tried some Wolf 9mm and locked up 3 pistols in one range visit. Beretta 92FS, Glock 19, S&W 4509 all with cases stuck in the chamber. I decided not to try the 5.56 for obvious reasons. |

Hmmm they issued Wolf ammo in Nam huh???[peep]
The guy is probably right cause when I was in nam as a super secret can't tell you. When we were in the dry wetlands of Yu Hi Man, and Sum Dum Fuk we saw alot of AK's blow up that were dirty some even had scratches on the barrel which is a sure sign of fatigue. The AK I was using as a walking stick blew up when I tried to shoot a Bass stripped dear while on patrol. I was killed instantly so learn from my mistake! [whacko] |

Wolf 7.62x39 was designed for the AK. Actually, its Russian military ammo produced commercially.
All wolf ammo works great, unless your gun is already worn down, and youve stored the ammo for so long in bad conditions that the laquer has worn away. Malfunction and Avtomat-Kalashnikov are an oxymoron. Hell, AK's work just fine under water... Would be cool to dip an AK in mud and see how it'll fire. |

Wave - Use what works for you. I'm not slamming Wolf, just relating what happened to me. Wolf seems to be pretty good ammo (hot and dirty, but good), I just don't like the lacquer or the red sealant around the primer.
I think the pistols got warm, then loaded, then set down and maybe the lacquer stuck the casing in the chamber. That's the only way I can figure my jams. I had to free the extractor and knock the casings out w/a long screwdriver and a hammer. |

Don't mean to hijack but regarding my Glock26:
1000 rounds of Olympic 124 gr ---> Lots of failure to fire malfunctions, managed to successfully "phase 3" malfunction, got as a "gift" thank God I didn't spend any $$$ on it. 1000's rounds of Speer 124 gr +P GDHP ---> jams on occasion, Doh! Official Duty Ammo. 1000's rounds of Wolf 115 gr ---> makes a dirty mess inside the gun but goes bang everytime. Range, plinking ammo only. |

My electronics professor in college told us one day about how he used an AK all through the NAM and it saved his life many times. He said they would crawl through swamps and mud and the M-16 would never hold up in those conditions. He said another reason our special ops guys used AK's in NAM was because they could trick out the enemy, shoot off some rounds and set an ambush, little enemy squads would come right to them thinking they were friendly, then they would waste them! |

I travel across the country and meet up often with other shooters. I've been seeing more and more animosity to Wolf ammo at ranges around the country especially private clubs. Some ranges even have signs that say "No Wolf Ammo Allowed". Saw this in CA.
When asked why, I seldom get an intellegent answer other than it is Russian and made with shoddy workmanship and it's inacurate. "WTF do you care as long as it's in the backstop." Most people will admit that one of the gives and takes of owning an AK is that you will give up a little range and acuracy for rate of fire otherwise we would all be shooting bolt actions. I'd really like to hear what the logic is behind this trend. BTW, IBTL last post. |

there is no logic, tom. it's just more stupidity coming from the fucking morons that make up at least 10% of the shooting sports community. i'm firmly convinced that fully 25% of all humans are born without a brain...and half of those go on to be match shooters, range masters, club trustees and those stupid fucks with a beer gut and muzzleloader i see trying to target shoot on the dedicated machinegun range. |

I'd really like to hear what the logic is behind this trend. BTW, IBTL last post. I know of a couple ranges that don't want it on the range because they sweep up all the brass at the end of the day, and then sell it/turn it into the guy they buy reloads from. Obivously he's not going to be interested in dealing with steel cases, so the range would have to sort out the steel cases and then throw them away. While someone still has to srot through the cases for caliber, it's easier to not have to worry about a whole category of cases you need to discard. Also some ranges will recycle brass that can't be reloaded (i.e. rimfire, etc) and obviously steel cases complicate things in that regard as well. I would imagine that in some states that are more enviromentally active than others (like CA is), recycling may be required somehow. Another possibility is that the range doesn't want to run it through their range guns for whatever reason, so they prohibit it so it doesn't get fired in any of their stuff. I've been to ranges in CA where the only ammo you could shoot was ammo that you bought from the range. Aside from the obvious finacial set-up there, they claimed that it was the only way they could be sure no one was going to blow themselves up with a reload, or whatever. Seemed sorta like a rental car agency telling you that you had to buy gas from them at some absurd price over retail. Some people are just ignorant and think it will blow up your gun, so they don't allow it. Ross |

Wolf stopped putting water proofing sealant on their ammo. That's what melted and gummed stuff up, not the lacquer. There hasn't been any Wolf sold with waterproofing for quite some time.-or so the guy from Wolf told me.
But some people feel better wasting their money, like fools who use high octane gas when their engine does not need it thinking it "works better than the cheap stuff." If you need accurate ammo or ammo for defensive purposes, look elsewhere. If you are shooting up stuff at the range for fun, get Wolf. Besides AKs, I have fired at least 1000s rounds of Wolf through a Beretta 92, Glock 21 and my AR with no problems at all. My buddy has run more Wolf that that through his AR with no problems and I have had guys shoot Wolf with me through their 9mm Glocks with no problems. |

nafaik. they did delete the neck sealant on their .223 in order to passify whining ar owners that blamed the ammo instead of their marginal extracter springs. i shot tens of thousands of wolf WITH the neck sealant in many semi and full ar's without expiriencing a single fte. |
