Please give me your input
I would steer clear of the Wolf if you plan on keeping this weapon for many years to come which it sounds like you will since it will be a memento.

AR's require clean burning ammo. If you want cheap ammo, go with Radway green, South african surplus in the green totes or that south korean stuff in the tan battle packs. It's fairly cheap and build to NATO specs.

I've seen some super high pressure failures with Wolfe blowing out extractors and such. Shoot decent ammo unless it's an AK, they are made to shoot wolf ammo. The lacquer finish (older Wolf ammo) or polymer coating(newer Wolf ammo) on the steel cases keeps them from rusting, but it transfers onto the chamber and over time will cause your chamber to run out of Saami spec.
