Just bought a 16" Wolf A1 upper (T-91 lookalike) on sale. Anyone here have experience with them? I've heard they'll rip case heads if you install them onto a lower with a carbine length buffer tube so you'll need to switch to a a heavy buffer weight. Is there any truth to that? Any recommendations for buffer weights? I've missed a couple of developmental milestones having been an AKfag my entire life.

Less than a couple thousand rounds on either so take it with a grain of salt. Had it on both carbine and a2 buffer tubes at different points, never had any issues with it stripping cases on either.

depends on if you clean it or not. the self-cleaning is true up to a point, and you do need to ensure the gas ports are clear of obstruction after very long strings of fire. generally a normal H buffer is sufficient to run it well even in automatic. the shorter SBR version at 12.5" runs best with an H2 in my experience, although i used it with a surefire compensator, but the gas system is quite hard on suppressors at shorter barrel lengths and needs a blast chamber of some kind in the suppressor to handle the initial gas impulse. it's really good with typical M193 military ball loads.

i really like the wolf a1 upper, alongside my adams arms upper, and a few others like the HK416 and SIG 516, i think it's the most economical choice for most people that want a carbine upper that's piston driven and good quality without spending money on gubbins they will never use or a brand name.

then again, i'm a weirdo that also shoots a la france m16k and zitta lr300, since i think a DI gun is better for a "light fighting carbine" than a piston assembly, which i like for heavier rifles that might regularly shoot at a higher cadence.

More or less my reasoning. I wanted something decent but with some weird factor. Tired of AK's for now but that doesn't mean I've given up being a hipster faggot. I'll throw it on a cheap carbine lower until I decide if I like it enough to get the clone block + lower.

Is that something endemic to short stroke systems or does the Wolf A1 run unusually dirty? The only other short stroke guns I have are the SKS and VZ-58, neither of which get run super hard.

I can't say I disagree with you. I'm tired of the same old, same old. In an attempt to get over buying the latest plastic thing, I just scored a Star 31PK (one of the original wonder nines), and a Czech CZ52 pistol (the favored weapon of Carlos the Jackal).

nature of possibly dirty ammo and fixed-sized gas ports. they get crud and over tens of thousands of rounds will erode and open up. keeping it clean and ensuring you have a some spring or buffer or whatever heavy enough to absorb and require gas pressure to cycle just right without over cycling will use up a lot of the energy from the gas system and be a bit gentler per shot. AK's are overgassed by design and have huge ports to relieve that during the cycle. an SKS and M1 Carbine both have a tappet system that has a very short and violent stroke length that also vents all unused gases to atmosphere - it's "self adjusting" in that it's really only the initial gas pulse that expands against a pistol that moves a rod to push against the bolt group (sometimes via an action rod) but this isn't what's happening in the T91 or Wolf A1.

with the FAL/FNC/AUG/SCAR, and such, the gas port is either self-regulating, or adjustable by the end user that test fires until it just barely cycles then adds one more "notch" for better cycling in adverse conditions. the M14/M60, and AR-18/G36 and so on are self adjusting more or less, with variations only seen if the barrel length changes significantly.

in the wolf A1, it's a fixed gas port size, with no way of adjusting other than gas cut-off. the T86 and T65 were similar. the fixed size was thought to be an improvement to the M16 because at the time, dirty ammo and the cost of chrome lining the chamber were kept for efficient use of limited resources in the very new Republic of Taiwan. with a fixed gas port size your only way to tune the action is with countering the gas impulse with mass or mass-equivalent, much the same as tuning the M16's gas system requires re-drilling the gas port or swapping around buffers of different weights.
I can't say I disagree with you. I'm tired of the same old, same old. In an attempt to get over buying the latest plastic thing, I just scored a Star 31PK (one of the original wonder nines), and a Czech CZ52 pistol (the favored weapon of Carlos the Jackal).
get a CZ99 or Daewoo K5. scratches the itch and fights the commies.

Damn, between school shooters and Ukraine spooks, DD really has its hands full of glowop contracts. Which does beg the question of why glowies like DD so much.

The least talked about "formageddon" bottleneck are the Form 4 submissions themselves. A lot of LGSs have one or two people processing NFA paperwork/eforms. Most places require an appointment and it can take 30-45 minutes depending on if the customer creates their eforms account ahead of time and comes in with a fingerprint file. If the abolishment of the $200 brings in a larger, less informed customer base you could end up with appointments booked weeks out and a higher percentage of incomplete or invalid applications.

I don't completely buy the "we're completely sold out right now" arguments. If that was the case smaller brands wouldnt offer BOGO deals and SiCo wouldnt be offering a $200 credit. Consumers are waiting for January to buy.
Yeah ok Mr. I-Own-Stocks-In-A-Publically-Traded-Suppressor-Company
Its probably called SGSuppressor or something isnt it?
Ruger and S&W are the first public gun companies that spring to mind. Both of them manufacture cans themselves or own a company who does (Gemtech).
 
Twitter guy fired Turkish 8mm in his converted Carcano and split the stock due to what looks to be an overpressure round that vented down and violently expanded the bottom metal. Most notable is that the bolt did not vacate the receiver, nor is there any obvious cracking. The Carcano action seems pretty solid, in my opinion, based upon this.
also I keep fucking telling people to not use turkish ammo, even the 8mm mauser

ETA: His findings on the ammunition in question. Some Greek mixed in with Turk, all have varying amounts and type of propellant with some having both stick and flake power mixed together. All within four rounds that he randomly grabbed.

The brass was essentially flash-welded to the chamber, he's apparently working on getting it out to see whether it was a Greek or Turkish example.

Regarding things people eat after they kill them, I almost want to vomit when I hear people kill wild boars and actually fucking eat those things full of parasites and bacteria. People already get horrible diseases from eating at unsanitary taco trucks serving actual farm raised pork albeit some pork is actually smuggled in from Mexico.

My bucket list includes a helicopter hog hunt or just a really kitted out AR with a NV optic. TBH I'm not much of a hunter, I love the idea of hunting pest animals ergo I love varmitting and dying to find the time to book a helicopter hog hunt. I also love the idea of killing something that could kill me on the ground where it could charge and tear me in half. Seeking out a bear or a Mountain Lion to hunt seems wrong to me. I know it sounds gay AF. A pest animal, invasive species I have no moral issues with.

Got a screaming deal on a couple of Vector 9mm magazines. Only $50 each. I also bought a GLOCK 33rnd mag locally at Scheel's. I also ordered a hand stop for my Vector. Went with the Yankee Hill hand stop that has a QD swivel socket machined into it. The Vector definitely looks kinda weird without the Vector mags in it, but I plan to see if there is any benefit to reliable feeding with the GLOCK mags compared to the Vector extended mags. If there's no difference between the two, or if the Vector mags are more reliable, then I'll just get those. If the GLOCK mags end up being better then I'll stock up on those.
 
Has anyone seen this masterpiece of a post over in The Bidnesss subforum in the thread "Most cost-effective gun for self-defense (2022 edition) "

Posted a little over 2 years ago:
If you're looking to defend against organized armed groups (be it the feds or some post apocalyptic raider group) you would want something in a 7.62/.300 or bigger when it comes to bang for your buck on penetration. Something simple like a CETME .308 (Century C308) comes to mind, and I believe crazy 3d gun people have some stuff revolving around that platform.

If you're looking to defend yourself in public with some type of concealed carry you're best bet is gonna be a double stack 9mm. I personally like the Sig P320c but that's roughly 500-700 dollars depending on store and configuration so it's not really in the bang for your buck range. KelTech and Ruger both make respectable and cheap(ish) handguns which are good for CC.

If you're looking at home defense you'd want a shotgun or a PCC/PWD. PCC's while cool tend to be pricey for no real reason, like the CZ Scorpion Evo3 A1 which runs about $1100. But if you want to take the PCC route the Hi-Point 995 TS is about $450 and will do the job but I would recommend a cheap optic and some type of light. Frankly speaking though shotguns are your best bet on home defense for the money, a farm shotgun with some 00 buck will turn most home intruders into morgue patrons. I personally like the CZ 712 Utility G2, 5 total rounds, good length. Just gotta hit the fucker.
