WS-MCR vs WK180c

With the poor quality of given mags, I would of rather had none than these 2 pieces of junk!
Love the rifle, use it regularly, would of rather not see the 2 crap mags (come with zero mags as everyone buying this rifle got AR mags), not see the crap buttstock and weird spec'd buffer tube, see a real Magpul CTR and a proper spec buffer tube, paid an extra 20-40$ for the rifle, and I would of been real happy.

I havent yet shot with this rifle. Mags seem cheap noname brand but do they not function properly? I dont care much for them as I have LARs but I do wonder why I got only one mag.

Stock is crap and it keeps getting stuck, so a better stock is definitely somewhere in the future. Why do you say the tube is weird spec'd??? :confused:

I would really like to see some kind of a paper manual or a piece of paper telling me where to find said manual. The impression I got this rifle is made in a basement of a ghetto with 3D-printed parts, no manual or any paper reference whatsoever and an absolutely plain box with not even a caliber indication.

I haven't even tried them to be honest, just handling 'em screams cheap chicom product, I'll have to check where they are really made.
Buffer is deninitely milspec, but my Magpul CTR stock glides a bit funny in it. Locking in uneven places and having a hard time to get to full extension.

Caliber indication is on the underside of the barrel, behind the flash hider.
No instructions needed really, just poke and disassemble as you go and parts fall out naturally.

Check the wolverine field strip video on youtube to carry upper separately without bolt flying out, other than that I just went about it logically.

Alright, thank you. Starting to show wear on mine at under 100 shots. Definitely concerned.

I hope we are not confusing bolt carrier issues(that were not heat treated right (or if at all) with wear in the upper receiver if your running the charging handle on the left side. Wear on the left inside is normal on the wk-180 and some wear more than others... call it the new normal lol.

that was a WK-180 bolt carrier issue and I don't think they left the factory in numerical order example 0123,0124,0125.

I was confusing them until you just helped me understand. The wear I'm referring to is on the receiver. I thought perhaps it was because of shoddy aluminum in the receiver, but i have apparently mixed up the two issues. Thanks for correcting me.

if you dig a little in this forum or wolverine supplies forum you should find picture of receivers that others have posted for comparison to whats going on with yours

Can someone kindly explain what an "External Bolt Catch Release" does for the WK180-C?


Thanks in advance.

It allows you to lock the bolt open without needing an empty mag or sticking your finger in the mag well and to drop the bolt without pulling the bolt handle back.

Neither the WK or WS comes with an external bolt catch.
 
About the buffer tube issue I experienced that on the MCR. My BCM replaced stock got stuck and after hours I cut the entire thing off. I got the stock for a good price and put on a preferred rifle length fixed stock. I chalked the cost up to what I see as a good overall gun and price point.
