Pretty simple question, but do Triggertech’s triggers drop into a WK180, or do they need some fitting? Any experiences out there?

Cool. I took advantage of the Triggertech sale, so we’ll see how she goes.

Update!
The Triggertech Competition AR Trigger drops in flawlessly. I did have to modify my RWA bolt release to clear the trigger housing, but that was fairly easy to achieve. Next thing is to test fire it.
And holy, is that trigger SOOOO much better than the battle trigger that comes installed. It's super slick, and hardly feels like 3lbs.

I used to run triggertech in 2 of of my wk180c's (don't own them anymore). Watch out for the trigger group pins walking out after 200 round-ish. Happened on both rifles consistently.
Upon further examination, the set screws are creating a dent into the receiver, which resulted in the screws no longer pushing the trigger housing up with enough force to retain the pins. Seems like a design issue of the trigger group. Putting a piece of leather at the bottom of the trigger group housing might help, but I've since switched to alg trigger with more traditional pin retaining method. The pins haven't walked out since.

I realize this thread is about the Triggertech but in case your are considering alternatives, I installed a Timney Impact Trigger Group AR-15 3 lb Single Stage trigger in my WK180C. It was a straight drop in solution. I got it from Bullseye. The difference was like night and day.

I would think anything would be an improvement over the factory trigger, at least the one I had. I replaced it with a Hyperfire heavy gunner and it was a huge improvement. I was looking for a Sharpshooter model, but nobody had them in stock. These are not a "cartridge" style trigger, but they are very easy to install. With the current OIC situation, you may be best to just buy whatever you find in stock, assuming it will fit the WK.

I got one here... looks like they still have stock and it's a reasonable price... https://store.theshootingcentre.com/geissele-2-stage-g2s-trigger
I ended up getting a G2S from The Shooting Centre. Took like 2 days to get delivered and dropped right in, though there was some trial and error and sore fingers due to it being my first trigger swap. Now I just need find some decent public land near be to really break it in.
