So I should have been more specific. I was just commenting to the quoted statement - that Kodiak does more than supply receivers to Wolverine to assemble with their parts from the prohibs that got cut up.
And they do complete rifles. Wasn't commenting what they made them out of. They do complete rifles. In the Westrifle threads about the WR762, requests were made for receivers only, and those requests were denied.
I would say either Wolverine had more pull, and just got receivers - OR - bought complete WR762s and stripped the furniture to replace with the sets they had, to fill the order and salvage something from the rifles that went prohib.
Quite possibly the WR762 is a mix of new and surplus. I can't remember specifically, but I do believe that is the case. Still goes back to the idea that they do complete rifles.

If it was made in Canada, yes.

And so does Century Arms in America. Didn’t think I’d have to explain it when I said, “the Canadian version of Century Arms.”
four? wow your uncle must be Rockefeller
saving my pennies that's all
Nice man glad they all are minty.....you put one of each of those away for safe keeping unfired and I guarantee you they will be collectors item.....no dealer with touch and type 81 order after all the problems that are going on.....you gotta straight rifle it will fetch some serious coin in years to come.......by the time this is all said and done and all the returns go thru.....there will be less than 400 fixed and 400 folders in canada

- Not really sure.
Here you go Eden
Mine is like that only not nearly as bad, only a tiny gap. My barrel is straight in line with my receiver but the gas cover/wood veers off to the right a bit. Plays tricks with the eyes making the barrel look bent when it isn't.
Gun runs fine. Are these worth $1000.00 imo? not even close. I'll keep mine and shoot the crap out of it but it's disappointing overall in the quality and fit dept.
When I heard they were "polytech's" I was excited and expecting decent quality. These guns are amateur hour it seems.

Reminds me of Canada ammo's da50
Funny, I got nothing but flack when I tried to warn people not to expect too much in the way of fit and finish from Norinco based on my previous experience with their Type 56 AKMs. I specifically predicted sharp internal edges and rust-Prone salt-bluing. So, was I wrong?
Didn't think so.....
And you get that how?
I've said in other posts, I think they were $400-500 landed cost for TI. I paid $1000 knowing that and am fine with it, assuming my rifle won't be bent. We shall see.
What you say is correct ,Your right about them making up complete rifles the WR762, there is no surplus, that is a new Canadian 858 clone.
Wolverine is NOT being supplied receivers. The cut up 858s were turned into parts kits and anyone that wanted them turned into rifles could have send them back to Wolverine
which in turn were sent to Kodiak who are putting the surplus 858 parts on their new Kodiak receivers making them a hybrid and bit more of a F***ed up 858 history project.

I thought the last 300 were all put into Kodiak receivers by Kodiak defense, or at least the majority of them...as some wood sets were bought separately from the metal bits...so in a round about way, they were supplied receivers...those of us who bought them as parts kits were just lucky enough to get in on the action...they did mention that no more Czech surplus parts would be coming in...
