Im not sure if that's deemed cosmetic, those are sharp jags of aluminum you see in the photos. This damage was done with in 100 rounds as I only swapped out the charging handle to the left side when I got a brass deflector last month.
I get it,a new black rifle wont stay black due to use but this seems wrong even though i've been told its totally ok by Kodiak.
I also just got to inspect my friends WK and although he has only 100 or so rounds through his, it shows zero wear inside and almost nothing on the rail where that bolt cam pin rides on.
Mine looks similar. I opened the rifle and took several pic with the bolt out to show the whole inside rail as well. I did post a few pics with links a few pages ago islfnuou want to check for it. I’m honestly getting in the car to head home as we speak so can’t repost the link right now and can’t postbpics like you did for some reason
Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes!
Here is the wear on mine after 250 shots...
Yeah, that’s a lot what mine looks like. Take some pictures, include your serial number, and send them over to Kodiak. Like I said, they don’t necessarily have a fix for it yet but they are working on something. There are strength in numbers so I think it’s good that they see all the ones that are having problems.

NEW receivers.. No fixing that...
My uneduacted quess is you/we are getting bolt bounce.. might be a chronic problem
