Kodiak Defense WR762 and CZ858 photo comparison

SoleSpectre said:
Very proud owner of the WR762 purchased from Wolverine. Also own the 858 Tactical 2. Love these rifles and until this afternoon, both go bang with every pull of the trigger. No exceptions... until today.

I have 83 rounds downrange with the Kodiak. The 84th did not go. No joy on the trigger - bolt carrier cycles fine. Trigger moves as it should - won't release the striker.

Having a very tough time removing the dust cover as the striker is in the rear (fire) position. I DO NOT want to force it ... she's my baby!

Any ideas?

Call westrifle and have them deal with it? Or is there a live round in the chamber?
 
Sorry to hear about that SoleSpectre, I haven't shot mine yet, hope it's not gonna give me the same issue. If you bought yours from Wolverine, you might want to goto them first. Hope you'll get yours fixed soon. Please keep us posted.

Claven2 , excuse my ignorance, but where is this area you are concerned of cracking (raceway flanges)? If I managed to get the right picture, are you referring to the pieces on either side at 4 and 8 o'clock? Thanks...

Wilco Ryan / thanks for the comparison photos initiating this thread.
 
Hi all,

Trigger bar - 'C' clip on inside of receiver came off causing trigger bar to slip/disengage sear. Pressed trigger bar back against outside of receiver, reseated C clip and voila - CLICK! Trigger issue solved.

Special thanks to Chad from Kodiak who responded personally on a Sunday. Very impressed with Kodiak/Chad's responsiveness!!

Iam kind of thinking about one of these... anybody have a opinion on which is best?

I was too until I saw all that ugly engraving and Maple leafs everywhere.
Who needs a UN marking stamp when they have it plastered all over these rifles.

Next ..... no thank you.

I hope all you guys enjoy them and they turn out to be strong and reliable for you all.
Just not my taste is all.
 
Question: Is it possible for a gunsmith in a couple of hours of work to strip an existing cz858 and put all the parts on the Kodiak receiver, including barrel?

Congrats! Glad to hear everything worked out.

I took a photo of mine, just in case others run into the same problem in the future. There appear to be two 'C' clip in the Kodiak receiver used to detain the trigger pin and sear pin, as opposed to the 'T' shaped trigger group toggle in the CZ858 receiver.

Strip and installing of the other parts are easy, not sure about the labour and tools involved to install the barrel though, should be quite a bit of work.

This photo. Top receiver, just behind the chamber mouth. The real receiver uses a 120 degree angle with a slight radius at the base of the angle. The wr receiver is a hard 90 degrees at the flange.

This is bad design from a fatigue standpoint and more likely to crack over time. Basic engineering.

You never use a 90 without a radius in any part that will see cyclic stresses in tension or compression, if you can avoid it.

It may never crack there, but it would have been easy to build stress relief into the design. I'd have done it differently.

They did nicely radius the recoil lug recesses though, which is a nice touch. Props on that.
