    The back plate on mine (the takedown 'button' is a part of it) is incredibly tight inside the upper. I've oiled it well, but I still have to put a fair amount of force on it to get it in or out. Give it a good push inward with a screwdriver, then once it is open, put your hand over the back plate and slam the bolt carrier back into it to pop it out of the upper receiver.

    It has a round divot in it so you can use a 223 round.....

    This is true. Unfortunately, mine needed something with a little more grip for a little more persuasion the first time.

    Picked up my rifle today and started swapping on new parts but I cannot get the barrel nut loose.

    I'd really leaned on it with a 8" wrench while in my vice to no avail. I tried adding a little heat with a heatgun, I didn't want to risk melting the nylon bushing with a torch.
    I'm going to go out and get a new 1-1/8 wrench that I can fit a cheater bar over.

    Any tips?

    Edit: N/M, got it in the end. Just needed a 3' cheater bar on a spud wrench.

    I had my WK out to the range for the first time today and I was getting constant failures to extract. The empty casing would stay in the chamber and I would get a double feed on the next round.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Were you using Independence 5.56 by any chance? I was running into the same issue but only with the one specific ammo
