Zero malfunctions.

200 refills.

Good bit of auto.

All good.

How many times did you need to disassemble it for cleaning etc.? Mine has run 100% for the half dozen or so times I have used it in 3-gun competition (all semi-auto), but I have studiously avoided dumping it in the dirt as disassembly was such a nightmare the one time I did it. Any time monopodding is not a requirement, I still run my trusty end-to-end coupled PMAGs.

So, they let one out of the factory that actually works?

Both of mine work great.

...and I'm jealous of your 12Krd mag dump

Mine works too.
I have about half that through mine though.
Some FA. Had one or two hiccups in the first load or two. Since then, game on.

I have run 240 rounds through my 60 round SF mag. No FTF or FTE. The only problem is the bolt did not lock back on two out of four times I have used the mag. Anyone else have this problem? The ammo used was Aguila .223 55gr. FMJ.

Ive been interested for some time to try one of these, just never had the chance. How much weight does this add to the rifle?

I have 2 and they've worked pretty well, if you make sure to hand load them carefully. I've had each on my 2 lose spring pressure on the ammo stack once and I could just turn the mag over and dump live ammo on the ground. Glad to hear this isn't that common though based on the responses so far.

Good question. I recently put together a 300BLK upper and a 30rd Pmag of 220gr ammo is significantly heavier than the 62gr. I bet it adds 4 pounds to a rifle if loaded with 220s...

I had the same thing happen during a match but, I believe I had a hand in the malfunction..

On a previous range trip, I was using the SF 60rnd mag for my suppressed SBR and ammo left in the mag gets all this carbon/corrosion on the ammo. I let that ammo set for a few weeks and just topped off the rest of the mag for a stage..After about 20 or so rounds, the follower/spring got locked up..I just dumped the mag and finished the stage..

After I was done, I turned the mag over and about 8-10 rounds just feel out and after I slapped the bottom of the mag, the spring engaged and has been functioning 100% since then. currently have about 3000 rounds through the mag and I seriously need to take it apart and give it a good cleaning..

I'm more baffled by the $700 worth of 5 mags. Seriously, they are that much $$?? I had no idea they were $130-$140 each.

The mags go for about 90.

I loaded mine only off stripper clips, maybe that has something to do with it.

Good to hear a real life report. Shouldn't this be in the magazine section, not AR discussions?

will they run steel?

I have two and they wont run, get hung up about halfway, semi or f/a, brass or steel.

Such a disappointment as well

I hate reading where some mags will run yet mine dont

Nonesense. No one and I mean no one would shoot wolf through a FA class III toy.

There's people on here that won't even put it through a 6920. I mean, they shoot 100 rounds a month (always with 1/2 groups, b/c they shoot so much) but still.

The hate for steel cased ammo on this forum is fucking mind bottling.

Wolf is dirty, inaccurate, and under powered.

It is however perfectly fine for dumping bullets pointlessly into dirt.

The majority of what I shoot is Wolf.
It's hard to find enough affordable brass ammo these days IME.

Wolf WPA has never let me down. Of course I'm just plinking/punching paper at the range, but still.

Wow! Can I go shooting with you sometime? 12k is an impressive round count my friend.

My gen 4 G19 has 2200 rounds through it and I thought I had a lot ran through her!
