WK180-C Owner's manual

The barrel break in is practically word for word from the Armalite AR180B manual. Why mess with a good thing.
Made sense then. Makes sense now.

Before shipping the rifle out to customers wolverine is putting 10 rounds through so if they did not follow this will it be an issue?

Maybe I am no understanding the process correctly or they
Fired one shot the cleaned and repeat 9 more times or is fire 10 rounds then clean?

No this will not be an issue. Barrel break in is a very debatable topic and there is no definite science that if you do this or don't do this there will be dire consequences. Personally I use my own system which is more rds and less cleaning, the secret to good accuracy and long barrel life is not to overheat the barrel and clean correctly. More barrels are spoiled through bad cleaning than incorrect use.
 
The spec they list is about 5,000 psi below SAAMI max and 12,000 psi below 5.56 NATO. If they advertise their rifle as being compatible with the two, then their manual should probably reflect that. To put it in perspective, the chamber pressure listed in the Wolverine manual is lower than the SAAMI spec for 6.5x55, which is already ridiculously low in deference to the old Krag rifles.

It's obviously a misprint so I don't think it's anything to get bent out of shape about, but I figured they'd like to know.

We are looking into this, after firing over 7,000 rds through our first rifle I see no cause for concern. Personally I see no requirement to even quote a figure.
