    We found only one type of magazine could be over inserted ( with relative ease ).... bare with me as I cannot for the life of me remember....


    ** EDIT ** it was the old style C-product with not only the bottom lip, but top lip at the actual mag catch that can easily be over inserted, not only in the WK but any AR really...

    So far (about 200 rounds in...) that is my only "problem". Gas block seems not to be in contact with the barrel, function is close to 100% (1 FTFeed so far).

    Of course, the trigger...ah, the trigger...but for the money I didn't expect much in that regard.
    What do you mean by gas block not in contact with the barrel? Is it loose? If so you should contact KD, as it may eventually lead to piston rod misalignment and a broken piston rod in my case. Luckily KD took care of it for me very smoothly.

    Holy crap, I must have been drunk when I wrote that post. Not only did I invent a new chambering (.223Nato), but now this^!

    What I meant was that the gas block was not making contact with the handguard; I mentioned it only because I had seen a few others commenting on theirs. I'm going to correct that as well in my post.

    My Spell-Check seems to work fine; now I need to find a Stupid-Check before posting again. But I still like the WK180!
    Eat right, don't drink, don't smoke, exercise, get lots of sleep...and die anyway!

    If you want to buy it, say "I'll take it".
    If you want to make an offer, say "I'll take it for $X".
    If you want to practice your negotiating skills by asking if I will accept $X, with no intention of actually buying...say nothing.

    Hey having issue with my gas block. It seems loose and will not extract or chamber a round. Who do I contact to get this fixed?

    May be a dumb question, but is the magnet for the charging handle supposed to be attached to the bolt carrier or to the handle itself? My Wk just arrived today and I thought it odd that there's a small magnet on the left side of the bolt carrier, but nothing on the left. i would have though this would have been part of the charging handle, or have magnet on both sides.

    - On closer inspection, looks like the tiny magnet isn't actually attached to anything on mine, just stuck to the bolt carrier. Guess I will have to check with Kodiak! Otherwise, everything looks very well put together.

    Check the end of the handle, can you see a couple of straight punch marks indicating it was staked?
    The magnet is staked onto the charge handle on mine.

    John Hipwell has reported that loctite will fix it if it comes off - some early rifles the magnet was press fit (although mine is a very early rifle it is still staked). Contact Kodiak.
    FWIW I would use red loctite.

    By the time I get mine, all the kinks will be worked out..... It should be the 1911 of rifles by then...

    There are stake marks there, but the magnet goes in and out of it's home without resistance. I'll fire an email off to Kodiak, see what they have to say. Definitely room for improvement on the charge handle, like maybe a bigger magnet, and a rubber buffer in the back pocket of the lower to take the bit of play out, but otherwise I'm impressed with build quality.
