This is my first AK so keep in mind I am new to them. I have read that some AKs will not cycle hollow point ammo. I have a bunch of wolf steel hollow point ammo, and my Century WASR AK will not cycle it. When I pull the charging handle back then release it to chamber a round, the carrier will move forward and try to chamber the round, but stops about 1/2" from going all the way forward. At that point the action is jammed and will not move forward or back. If I slam the charging handle forward it will chamber it and then I can continue cycling the action. I have the same results with tapco or steel mags.
I don't have any FMJ ammo to try at the moment, but do you think there is a problem with the gun, or is what I described just an AK that does not like hollow point ammo?
Thanks in advance for your help
