No, it doesn't. If you have a milspec AR 15 pull your carrier out and try. If it is the correct dimensions for all the parts it the firing pin by design CANNOT extend past the bolt face until the carrier is fully in battery.

Ned Christiansen did a cutaway to illustrate the fact. That bolt is locked into the lugs but the carrier is still slightly OOB.



You can read about it here.

How does AR15 bolt carrier prevent hammere-follow slam fire, when using hammer with notched top? - Page 1 - AR15.COM

?? For The Experts: Out Of Battery Discharge - What Prevents It? - AR15.COM

So my question still is, what makes the M&P different? Or is it just BS and bad ammo that Wolf is covering up.
