I do have to say that I understand everyone when they talk about Wolf, but some of the most experienced people on this page have said that even though it is a "factor" it shouldn't be the only "cause" (if I can sum it all up). I heard enough good things about Wolf on this site, and money was tight that weekend, I thought I would push the rifle for the first time heavily with steel casings and see what happened. It is my thought, and others, and obviously SW saw that it was true, that the chamber was tight. The thing is that it should be able to take Wolf, but Wolf is not ideal. I'm glad it's fixed.
The last thing I want in a SHTF is to have a highly capable weapon, then run across ammo, or have someone offer me ammo, and have to say "Oh bummer, it's Wolf..." Especially since I live in a state that still has a ban on the bayonet lug. I wont even be able to attach a knife to the barrel and do a good hollywood style charge into the zombies in that circumstance!;)
All and all I am happy with what they did, and happy with how well this forum treated me in helping me through the steps needed to determine the malfunction, and how to deal with. I know who I'm buying my Aimpoint from when I get the money, and where I'm going if I have other questions!
