    Interested in hearing how this mystery is solved. No doubt BCM will make it right.

    Shipping today. It's definitely a gas issue but where the problem lies is beyond me.

    If you look at post#5 after he replaced the gas tube it ran the 5.56 stuff fine. The issue now is with the Wolf and I believe the frangible. I would never shoot frangible as it tears up the throat as I recall.

    I think he said 5.56mm wasn't locking back, but was cycling ok.

    It's really hard on the whole operating system.

    Even the 5.56 wouldn't lock the bolt back. Even with a Carbine buffer.

    And I did not know that about frangible.... Sucks cause we got a shit load of it in for work training.

    RHT ammunition is good for agencies who have the funds to replace worn out parts. The projectiles begin to disintegrated before they leave barrel and a lot of abrasive material gets pumped through your operating system. There are a couple of brands of frangible that have a jacket but I don't think they are considered a reduced hazard frangible round in the same sense the sintered variant is.

    ETA: RHT is Reduced Hazard Training. They can be labeled different ways but usually involve some kind of lead free green theme.

    I must have missed that with all the back and forth.
