    Does the recoil impulse feel different and by that I mean does it feel like the buffer is hitting the bottom of the buffer tube when it cycles and or does it feel like it is cycling slow?

    I have had 2 short stroke failures from what I believe was from UMC ammo a while back and on my LMT it felt as if it was cycling slow and I didn't feel the thump of the buffer bottoming out in the buffer tube.
    With wolf ammo the bolt is not locking back on last shot and failing to pick up a round with the bolt closing on an empty chamber. Extraction seems to be fine.

    The recoil impulse feels fine, at least within my limited experience.
    This is a test of my signature, if this had been an actual signature you would be instructed to read very carefully.

    You started this thread by saying that this "malfunction" only occurred with a particular shooter; has that changed?
