Lone Wolf 9mm AR problems

[submarineman]

Hi guys, i have a 9mm glock mag Lone Wolf 9mm AR and i'm having a huge issue that I haven't got a clue whats up. At the range this week and the bolt started getting stuck halfway in the receiver without going fwd all the way. Seams like there's a friction on the hammer but I'm not really sure. Having issues with the gun and not very happy. There are feed issues but the bolt has got me freaking out a little. Has anyone ever heard of this before and if so any idea on what to do next. Cheers

Is the whole gun a Lone Wolf ? Or is it a Lone Wolf lower with another 9mm upper?

Some designs use a 9mm hammer.

yup



if you think its the hammer remove it (pay attention to how the spring goes) and try and cycle bolt without hammer

Has this gun worked before? Does it have a Glock/Hybrid bolt carrier, or a Colt style?

 

[submarineman]

Ok, I just looked again and its not a hammer issue. The charging handle is really hard to charge, there is something rubbing. Its a lone wolf lower that uses glock mags. The upper I really dont know, It,s the seconde time I use it. the first time at the range I had no issues with charging when I pressed the bolt release. Now it only goes fwd a bit and there is no way to push it forward as the 9mm AR does not have a fwd assist.

Maybe the fireing pin broke and is caught somewhere in the buffer or charging handle pathway


Is the gun able to be fully stripped?

Dissisemble and inspect with this problem it should be obvious the cause.

Take her down and give it the old once over

Clean and lube

I mean remove the bolt buffer changing handle buffer spring and remove the trigger

These are all very easy to remove / reinstall

Report back.

....and it happens without a mag in it as well?


Is there a roll pin in the bolt carrier that holds a rear weight in place? Has it worked its way out to one side?

Long shot but I've heard a half-inch of quarters at back of buffer tube increases spring force.

I'm gonna try that.. good idea until I can bring it to gunsmith

Is the buffer retainer still in properly?

Yes, I inspected it and it looks ok. Tomorrow I will take a bunch of pictures and post them, maybe you guys can see something I can't

Don't do this

PROBLEM SOLVED..... It was the 9mm ejector that was causing too much friction on the bolt. All I did was sand it a little, now the bolt is moving with no issues. Next step will be to test it at the range.
