Glad I sold both of mine. When they come out with the $1500 model, with zero materials issues, that needs no upgrades out of the box, maybe Ill consider it.

f:P
Honestly mine is in the 1200 range. It's an amazing gun! Nothing is overtightened it's extremely accurate at 50. Taking it out to 100 soon. Handguard screws were tight but removable, It comes apart normally overall it's great. Sure my charging handle hits the upper inside, nothing that I can't do an easy fix to. Cost will be 20 bucks or less for me to fix. I would personally like to see their solution as mine won't look as clean,nice or simple. Kodiak has been great so far with everything I have asked them. I honestly don't know why people are complaining so much. Just come up with a temporary solution and keep shooting. Use proper tools while trying to disassemble and it shouldn't be an issue.
I like mine fun pretty accurate looks better then I thought but I want the fix for this loose charging handle
I used a punch and a small hammer to pop it open. The release plate had a sharp edge on one side causing it to bind and impression the upper. The two rods also were too tight into the release plate and would bind.Originally Posted by Merovingian
I smoothed the edges and buffed out the bind mark in the uoper, and just kept turning the rods in the plate to wear-in sone room. Seems to work dairly good now. Just a touch of intermittent bind. Thx for the suggestions folks.
You poor, hapless soul. You are missing the point. I may be a dick, but like true dicks, I stand up for what's worthwhile, I don't limp around. I do hope you find the time to grow up and add to the complaint that will get our rifles fixed. Even duct tape can't fix you. Please run autocorrect in case I missed something.

On principle, i am not paying a dime to fix Kodiak's screw up. Is it that hard to admit an error and provide a solution? These guys doubled down and continue to be contentious. I had 2 gunsmith friends have a look at the wear, the agreed it wasn't cosmetic. Many of you are metal workers, CNC operators and Mechs, we know it's a design issue, Kodiak also knows it, the just don't want the expense. They think this will blow over.

Exactly my point.

i just bought a wk180c from a local dealer that they had in stock, its one with the updated bolt and charging handle. did the come up with a fix for the charging handle problem yes, is it a long turn fix in my opinion NO. it just screws in and the rear hole at the back of the receiver is now useless as you can unscrew and remove the charging handle with the bolt in the forward position. there is nothing stopping the bolt from falling out and loosing if it comes loose and you have not noticed while shooting. i would have like to seen at least the part that screwed in to the bolt almost the same size as the hole in the rear of the reaciver so if it did come lose it could not fall out and be lost, or better yet have it fit in the hole and attached the way a quick detach sling mount works iv never had one come out when installed properly, lol even the M10X does not have this problemlol ya i went there lol and yes i have one of them as well.

Omg that sounds terrible. Please post a picture of it.
Someone stop the planet and let me off for awhile. I need a break from all this stupidity!!! - posted by Northern Amateur
Idk saying that the charging handle will come loose without you noticing and fly away..... this could happen with all the other screws on the gun too.... like the grip screw could just loosen up and fall out.
I have had mine for more than a month and no such thing has happened. I used to just run it finger tight no problems, now that the barrel is broke in and I'm not cleaning it every 10rds I just stick an Allen key(same one for the safty levers) through the holes and give it a bit extra....
I would be willing to bet 1000rds of ammo that the charge handle wont fly away... if in 1000rds the charge handle flys off I buy the ammo, if not all the haters buy the ammo.
