Wolf A1(T91) Review

The T91 is the Taiwan Military’s standard issue weapon. With design details based from the AR18 and M16, It’s is a short-stroke gas piston rifle, that uses a standard M16/AR15 lower. Based from the T86, it has a proven design and reliability history dating to 1992. It was put in service in 2003 and is still being issued today.

That brings us to the topic at hand, The Wolf A1. Wolf Ammunition started import the Wolf A1(T91) in around 2017. It features a US made hammer forged barrel, mated to imported upper parts kit. From other articles I’ve read, they sold over 1000 uppers on release day, making it one of Wolfs most popular products at release. It comes in a variety of lengths from 12.5”-16.5” (as what can be seen surfing on Atlantic Firearms), and ships as a complete upper assembly without the rear sight.

I picked up a very lightly used Wolf A1 earlier this week, and I can say I've been impressed with it so far. My upper features a 14.5" barrel that has a Surefire Warcomp pinned and welded, giving it a 16.25" overall barrel length (thus making it not an SBR). It also doesn’t feature the forward assist normal to AR platforms, giving it a more classic look.

My Wolf A1, attached to an A2 style lower and with an A3 Carry Handle. Giving the proper retro rifle look.

I test fired the rifle on a standard M4 25m Zeroing target. After getting the A3 sights where they needed to be, I fired a three-round group, prone at 25m, with M855 ammo. I'm very pleased with how well this upper shoots and groups.

Overall, I'm very happy with this upper. Being the first piston upper that I've ever fired, the recoil didn't seem any different than a direct impingement rifle, and it feed every round of brass and steel case ammo I gave it. In the spirit of Retro Looks for the rifle, and practicality purposes of the carry handle, I will most likely keep the carry handle and maybe add a 4x retro style scope from Brownells. I also look forward to testing accuracy at greater distances in the future.
