I shoot Wolf quite a bit and don't have many problems. The only time I had problems was with a brand new rifle. I think it is very important to break in a rifle with good quality ammo. I mainly keep Wolf ammo for a SHTF scenario.

them steel cased bullets aren't worth a hoot on firearms.. a friend of mine has a Norenco (chinese) SKS and was shooting brass shells until his wallet went flat, so he decided to order some Wolf brand steel cased bullets.. you oughta see how much problems he's having now..

I've got a bushmaster ar15 and i'll never shoot a steel cased round out of it after seeing the damage... the problem is that steel casings dont bend, removing little pieces of the guns interior. the brass ones will eject with a dent on one side, not harming the gun

next time you fire a steel casing, check the casing for scratch marks

Good question Crump. The longest I have ever shot is 300 yards and that was in the Army using iron sights. The local range is set up to 600 hundred yards. I would love to be able to reach out to 600. I guess I will just have to wait and see how it performs on the range.

With the longer barrel, you should get an effective range out to 500 meters I would guess. With the shorter barreled M4's, effective range is only around 200 but naturally your mileage may vary....that's just based on a haji my bro had the pleasure of servicing with his M4 in AssCrackaStan that didn't go down even though he had 10 rounds in him.

My son and nephew both complained about the same thing while
in Iraq. I wish they would go back to the .308 or .30 cal.
they used from WW 1 through Korea. When someone was shot
with those rounds,they pretty much hit the ground.

(By effective range I mean minute of kill, not minute of angle...ballistic chart bull ****** )

There is nothing sweeter than a good two stage trigger on a black rifle. Don't want one on a bolt gun tho. Best rapid fire score I ever fired was with a borrowed two stage in my rifle.

ah forget about all that balistic charts and paper reading, just shoot it, if you miss you should have 29 more rounds at least to finish the job!

Your AR isn't that far off from the M-16
you used in the Army. I have a good feeling
about the 600 yd. range. Go for it, I beleive
you can do it!

Freakin' sweet critter gitter John!
How far are you planning to reach out
and drop something? Xpect you could
drive tacks at least to 400 yds.

Awesome

Jason — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 08:00:11 GMT

Oh ok! I know what you are talking about. At first I was think 2 stage would be at 1 stage semi auto and the 2nd stage would be full auto. LOL!!!

Yeah I understand now. I'm not into target shooting...I'm in to destroying what I'm shooting at...2 stage wouldn't help me much!!! LOL!!!!

The two stage triggers are for precision shooting. With a two stage, there is no "creep" or "surprise break" like a single stage. With a two stage you know exactly when the round is going to go off. With the first stage the slack is taken out and the trigger will stop. Add a little more pressure and the trigger will break and send the round down range. It's kind of hard to explain without actually showing it to you. My suggestion is for you to build another AR and add one. That way you will know.

Ok...what is the deal with two stage triggers....what are they for?

Do you know what it weighs in at?

I weighed it last night and she comes in at a whopping 14 pounds! Needless to say this isn't one I plan on packing around for very long.

I also forgot to mention that I added a Rock River Arms two stage trigger to it. I can't wait to take this one to the range!

I'm telling you Jason, when the Black Rifle Syndrome (BRS) bites you, it is bad! I'm already planning on my next build. There are just so many different options to go with!

When I built this AR I was looking for a long range one that I could use in competitions and for varmint hunting. It took about 2 months to build because I had a hard time finding some of the parts.

Here are the specs:

-Model 1 24 inch stainless steel fluted barrel in a 1-9 twist
-YHM free float 4 rail handguards
-Magpul PRS stock
-Spike's Tactical lower receiver
-Ergo pistol grip
-Bushmaster bolt carrier group
-Model 1 one piece scope mount
-Model 1 ladder style rail covers
-Magpul XT rail covers
-Magpul enhanced trigger guard
-GG&G tactical bipod
-Bushnell Elite 3200 scope

Close up of the Magpul PRS stock

Spike's Tactical lower with Ergo grip

GG&G bipod

The business end

And 900 rounds of fun! 62 grain M855 steel core penatrators.
