Contact Kodiak defence.

Ya i have my warranty card and will contact them. Thanks.

How old is the WK 180 with the bolt failure?

About 6 months old. Seen 400 rounds

I have one on hold while I wait for my PAL. Bought it from Hical a couple weeks ago. Are the new batches of these rifles pretty well made? Any improvements to the trigger at all?

 

[Adamlxlx]

Bolt broke on saturday, already have a new one in the mail to me. Not bad at all.

Great service, my buddy's $1800.00 ACR also had a bolt failure.

Really? Damn. I wasnt too worried about it. Kodiak has hooked me up.

 

[randyhub]

Yeah, Kodiak is super customer focused. Had mine for a year love it.

Was your bolt carrier the old version or the new iteration with the brands logo/serial number?

 

[Adamlxlx]

The bolt carrier is old style i believe but not within the affected serial numbers.
The bolt itself on mine broke.

The rod at the end of the gas piston broke on mine today
Fired one round and a 3 inch metal rod was sticking out the ejection port
Guess I need to give Kodiak a shout

 

[Bratwurst]

I find that I cannot remove the piston spring. The piston rod comes out but the spring does not come out. I can clean all the gas parts but it's a bit of a beast to get the spring to line up with the piston when putting it back in.

I'd really like it if the rail came off more easily, I gave up after the thread on one screw was so tight I killed it.

My bolt carrier broke today 400 rounds in.

Edit: looks like the actual bolt broke. One of the lugs on the bolt face sheered off.

Saw this happen to a friends, took some 7 business days and he had a new one. They provided top notch service.

I had the carrier, and bolt go bad. Kodiak (Owen) was excellent to deal with!

Spare parts kits available yet?

 

[CRBurton]

Calgary shooting center has RWA spare parts kits for the wk180c. I got one.

Really seems like a lot of problems still exist with this rifle, kinda a shame there not 100% yet

Don't get me wrong it is an incredible rifle, but it is a $1100 made in Canada rifle. Compromises had to be made, design features couldn't be included etc. The Canadian market simply doesn't warrant the mass production that AR15s and others can take advantage of.

In my view if you sit on the fence forever waiting for perfection then you're missing out on years of enjoying a highly capable rifle.
