Wasr 10 Fail to Fire???

I was finally able to take out my new Romanian AK Wasr-10 yesterday, I shot probably 90 rounds through it, and had 3 fail to fires. I'm hoping this was just the ammo and not the gun. I thoroughly cleaned it before use and was using Wolf ammo, anyone else ever experience anything similiar?

I had 1 out of 1000 where the primer was struck several times without firing. Consider it an ammo issue.

If the firing pin made a dimple as deep as on the fired cases, then yes - obviously an ammo issue!

Be careful when you have a dud, recock it and hit it again. Then give it at least 30 seconds pointed in a safe direction. Eject it slowly and place it on the ground away from everyone. I know this may seem se3riously over kill...i've had a round go off after I have ejected it.

A safety reminder (like yours above) could save eyes and lives!

Thank you!
