Would be cool if they released an original fitting AR-10 bayonet, I'm sure the rifle would get some stares with the bayonet fixed on top of the barrel

The very first BRN-10A rifles are in users' hands in the USA, and a couple of range reports have been posted on AR15.com.
There are reports that the rifles hit somewhat high at 100m, but otherwise seem to work well.

As a lefty I can only imagine the joy of .308 brass in the face.

Brownell's just announced a retro AR15, the BRN-Proto. And if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, they've paid a complement to Wolverine and Kodiak, and created a modernized AR180 variant, the BRN-180, except is is an AR-15 compatible upper receiver.
The BRN-180 would be restricted up here, so it shouldn't cause too much trouble for the WK180-C, but it may put a crimp in any future U.S. sales. On the other hand, they want $800 U.S. Dollars for it; the $1100 CAD price from Wolverine and Kodiak for the WK180-C is testament to the value of their rifle, and may allow it to still compete against the BRN-180.
I would be curious if the retro-style charging handle from the BRN-180 would work with the WK.
