Kodiak Defence WK180C Gen2 5.56mm 18.7" Non-Restricted

[North_Sylva]

SKU#: WK180-CG2.

Includes one magazine.

Big Changes:
• a non-reciprocating cocking handle;
• a 15" handguard;
• a standard AR-15 selector and trigger mechanism pins;
• a more contoured lower receiver that allows beavertail pistol grips to be installed;
• captive take down pins; (Standard AR-15)
• an improved gas system; and
• a bolt catch lever that comes standard.

There is nothing significantly different about the operation other than the non-reciprocating cocking handle. The non-reciprocating cocking handle means that the rifle no longer has a cocking handle slot on the right hand side of the rifle. There is also no longer a separate buttstock adaptor; the threads are machined into the lower receiver.

Important point: The WK180C and WK180C Gen 2 are cross-compatible (i.e., the upper of one can be put on the lower of the other) with one exception: the rear take down pin on the WK180C Gen 2 will not be able to be closed with the WK180C upper installed.

Any changes to the op rod or more specific OP gas system that likes to break them ??

They have added an orientation clip to keep the gas block centred, which should in theory help prevent it from rotating out of alignment and twisting the guide to snapping. One customer has loose gas block screws after a 100 rounds through the rifle, so it may be still advisable to disassemble then gas block on receipt of the firearm, thread lock the fasteners, and then re-assemble the firearm if the gas block fasteners are loose from the factory.
