I bought a Wr762 (vz58) by Kodiak defence back in December. About a month ago I had my first opportunity to shoot it. After about 100 rounds down the barrel, my lower hand guard fell out. Upon further inspection I realized that the gas block had slid about 5cm forward. I phoned Kodiak about the issue and was told that if I sent it in, they would simply put a rubber gasket to hold it in place (I don't think he understood what I was telling him, even though I sent them photos and he had them infront of him. Honestly it was terrible customer service and he did not seem to want to help) since then I have gently hammered the gas block into place with a soft rubber mallet. I have not had an opportunity to shoot since then to see if the issue persist. What I'm wondering, is there any way to fix this issue? Or should I send it in for warranty (leaning toward warranty, just a pain in the ass). It was brand new unfired when I purchased it by the way.

Send it in for warranty work while you can!
Where'd you buy it? They may help look after you... One of the many reasons I deal with local shops!

This!! The gas block is pinned in the notch in the barrel. I should not move and no gasket will hold it in place. Further inspection is required. I have moved the gas blocks before. Make sure it is in proper alignment or it will jam/damage your gas piston.
Does the thing feature one of the motor block paint/recycled/modified receivers that sold and being on sale by some dealers on here?
Do not worry, they are great guns and you have options - buy another for cheap - they are in stock...

Different.
I hope the WK180 has no issues and isn't a "flop"......I've seen various threads of issues with the WR762.....personally if one issue ever arises with a new rifle if iam able to send it back for full refund I would.....and move onto something else
Still waiting for an update on my warranty issue with my gun not firing semi auto always. How long should i wait before i follow up? Its only been 2 weeks. Was thinking give it a month if i don't hear back? Im not as concerned since its a canadian company and depend on cgn feedback for sales.
I sent my gun off. They accepted the delivery June 1st. When I spoke to the guy on the phone he said he would have my gun fixed and sent off in one week as it was just a pin that needed replacing. I phoned back a week and a half later and he said it was ready to be shipped and to wait for an email with tracking info. Two weeks passed and I phoned and left a message giving them my email and asking about the gun. It has now been 26 days since they have received it and over a month since I sent it... for a pin on the gas block... not sure how long it's reasonable to wait without getting pissed off and phoning them
