Pre Order Kodiak Defence 180NSR 5.56 Semi Auto Non Resticted
- Thread starter Tillsonburg Gun Shop
- Start date
So the changes I can see are:
-rear charging handle which closes up the back half of the gun where the old charging handle was. also eliminates the left openings on the gun and with the bolt release gives closer to ar15 controls.
-brass deflector
-magpul furniture
-beveled the top of the receiver which not only takes away from the 180s naturally boxy appearance, also frees up the top rail for things that had issues fitting like qd latches, eotech, 45 offsets etc. this is a huge plus to me.
-trigger is softer was mentioned
-Handguard is much longer and has a more open triangly look, connects at 3/9 instead of on 45 degree
I cant tell if the entire top rail is higher or if its just the new angles of the hand guard/receiver that make it look like this. I'm sure theyd keep it to AR15 spec for optics
good point, even just the little build outs with holes so we could add them ourselves.

If the Government were to ban them your deposit would be fully refunded for sure.

My thoughts are this, not that anyone cares haha 
It may not be the prettiest thing, however .223 in a non restricted format at that price point is fantastic. This is contingent upon two factors.
1. Are these going to get the ban hammer from the current administration? For sure this format meets the criteria laid out in recent comments made by government with regards to what they want to ban. Semi auto, “assault rifle”
2. Are they going to be reliable. I have no experience with this manufacturer so I am not insinuating anything negative.
Such a frustrating time for gun owners and I am sure manufacturers too. I hope these are successful and that there is no imminent ban, or subsequent one, on semi auto sporting/hunting rifles of this style.

Smart move to seal up the receiver. Same should be done with the piston assembly - along the lines of either HK 416 or just copy original AR18 handguards. Not a fan of any part of the operating mechanism being exposed. Handguard definitely doesn't have to be that tall either.
