Urgent help DPMS AR vs Century AK

[ratcatcher55]

The only times I remember having issues with the M4/ AR 15 is at a training course were we were forbidden to clean the rifle. At about 1200 rounds on a the second rainy & muddy day I started to gum up and have failures to extract. At 1400 rounds I locked the bolt back and wiped out the chamber with my gloved finger. It ran fine after that.

The AK is a very durable weapon and I would not feel under gunned if I had to use one. It does not lend its self to markmanship however.

As for contractors using AK's, it's a matter of logistics. The weapons and ammo are already in theater and do not need export licensing.

SF using AK's?  I  don't know but I imagene it's to blend in. They tend to bring everything they can get their hands on.

I have had  problems related to AR aftermarket magazines. 

I have seen basket full of problems related to Wolf and S&B ammo.

Sellier and Bellot, I think it is Czech. I've never used their .223/5.56  so I can't comment on it. You definitely want to avoid Wolf though, Because of the steel case it doesn't seal the chamber as well as brass cased ammo, some people have good luck with it in AR's but not enough to make it worth tying up any money in it.

Thanks. I will know to avoid it. I want some cheap bulk, but I have been warned off Wolf (though it is ok in AKs). I shall also steer clear of S@B. No sense in buying 500 rounds of aggravation.
