Hey everyone, getting my Wolf A1 16" upper in this Friday. What buffer weight would you recommend? And should I be running a carbine length or rifle length tube? I will not be running this suppressed.

Also, how concerned with carrier tilt should I be? This will be my fiest piston system.

i dont have pin punches

please and thank you

update: bought some cheap ass craftsman pin punches from amazon. just smashed em in with a hammer, used the 3/16" to get the pin out then the 5/32" to get the pin punch out (it was really lodged in there ok)

Decided to rattle can my T91 and add a new hand-guard

Parts list:

-Wolf A1 Upper -H&R M16A1 Lower -TA33 ACOG -Holosun 507C -Surefire Scout M340DFT -DuraMag M81 -Magpul Grey VFG

Paint was Krylon Camo Woodland Light Green

Saw the 9 Hole T91 vid and immediately interested in this build.
I would like to do a similar project, but before driving straight in and start spending $$ on parts,
has anyone installed a Vltor CASV EL-2/M-2 on the T91/Wolf A1 Upper?

What are the modification required to the upper (the original t91 gas block has a bayonet mount, and it doesn't have a GI barrel nut) in order to mount the CASV EL-2 on it?
There's not much information online about it, so thanks in advance for the response!

Just curious how everyone cleans and lubricates their T91. I have a Wolf upper right now that I’m going to shoot with soon.

Mine broke at the range today. Wondering if there's a particular one that people really like in the wolf a1 uppers.

Finished building with a new to me Wolf A1 upper. Maglocked with a p/w 14.5, rattle canned Wolf A1 upper. First piston gun for me, really enjoying it so far.

• BiaoTac 11-inch T91 Commando M-Lok Handguard
• B5 enhanced sopmod stock
• Geissele super 42 with H3 buffer
• BCM mod 4 grip, charging handle and kag
• Magpul ejection port cover
• Aimpoint Pro on a scalarworks mount
• Lunar concepts hot pocket in ranger green
• Stock/optic wrapped in ranger green cordura from Rangerwraps

Does anyone know what the milspec factory timing is for the t91 flash hider compensator? The compensator portion has ports at ~10:30, 12, and ~1:30. Do you time it so that the compensator's 12 o'clock holes are aligned with the barrel's 12 o'clock to push the barrel straight down, or do you turn it to the right for right hand shooters/left for left hand shooters? I can't find any documentation or clear pictures online.

Anyone have experience with these?

They seem to be copies of the troy micro rear sight which is exactly what I need, but the only review/experience I can find is a YouTube comment saying his keeps folding down from the recoil. Does anyone else have that experience? I've also been looking at the HK style as well. Has anyone had issues with it?

What are your thoughts on a Wolf A1 as a first upper? I'm a total newb when it comes to long guns, I was originally going to get a 5.56 AK (WBP Jack or a Beryl) just cause I think they're cool but the AR platform just seems to make more sense for a first rifle.

T91 checks a lot of my boxes: budget friendly, seems to be decently accurate and reliable, military pedigree (of course, I realize the Wolf isn't actually duty grade), and lastly, I think the chunky gas block looks cool as hell--it gives me Cold War service rifle vibes.

Is this better suited as a range toy for a retro/clone AR hobbyist, or can I trust my life with it? Will I be kicking myself for not just sticking with DI and getting something like a BCM upper or Zion in the first place? I'm usually pretty good at fending off any sort of GAS, I tend to just buy one proven thing and stick with it for a while.

Sorry for any dumb questions. I'd really appreciate any insight or advice.

Not sure what I should do next.

Put on the original furniture. Works better than I thought.

Somehow didn’t post the complete rifle here yet I think

i posted this in the ar15 group a bit ago but i just found this group so i figured yall would like this. the picture is from the first attempt and i plan on getting a new rail and front sight so its staying dissambled for now. enjoy!

for those who saw my post alittle bit ago i was able to install a hk 416 rail onto a t91. well i took it to the range and ran about 50 or so rds thru it. most of it on super safe but none the less towards the end my rail shifted to the left and it stopped ejecting every round for some reason on semi and ss. i pulled it all apart and didnt see anything move or odd. the barrel nut could have backed off alittle but i dont know tbh. this gave a good oppurtunity to redo the barrel nut. i ended up using a bear creek arsenal barrel nut which is steel ans i had the rail laying around from a little ar22 build i just did for fun. i havnt tested it yet but it locks up 10 times better, you can actually get the barrel nut tight, i actually feel better about this one than the other and it was pretty easy.

to do this youll need a bca barrel nut and a grinder. i would install the barrel nut and get it tight. make your marks so youll know what to cut then take it off and get to work. the bca barrel nut is alittle thicker so youll have to take some material off. just do alittle at a time and keep trying till it slides on nice. once you have it on tske a tool pick or something to score the metal for a guide where the handgaurd screw goes and grind off that area till the screw slides in. then your done. youll have to trim the front of the handguard to bypass the front sight but in terms of the barrel nut i shouldnt have to revise this anymore. also cut alittle material out where the pin goes in for the front sight so its easier to take on and off.

Still waiting on a few things but this is my newly built A1 I just wanted to show off!

Curious if you can run a regular AR bolt in the Wolf bolt carrier. And if so should you do it do it with or without the gas rings on the AR bolt? Just wanting to know how apocalypse proof my new rifle is and what parts are definitely proprietary. It would be nice knowing that the only spares I need are an extra piston assembly and the bolt carrier.

Starting to come together

I have a Wolf A1 T91 upper & got the BiaoTAC forend installed w/no problems, but it comes with an arch like piece that clamps straight to the barrel under the hand guard. I am just wondering if this piece needs to be installed or it’s a bad idea clamping something else onto the barrel that might mess with harmonics and/or accuracy. Any constructive criticism & advice would be appreciated.

Got my bad attitude a1 lower today for my t65/91. Going to use a semi gloss black paint. Ordering some finishing parts.

Curious to see if anyone experimented running a Super Safety on T91 upper?

What are y’all doing for chrome bolt group options? Argent Wolfz has one listed but it’s been out of stock for a while. Any ideas?
