I should know better by now, but I'd consider buying one if it works that way. If there's no reliable BHO, then it's a pass for me.

This looks fantastic. I’d love to do a “marksman rifle” build (from Fallout New Vegas) with one of these. A nice DMR stock, an Acog, fake-can. Would look awesome!
Is there a reason they went with AK mags (limited to five) and not keeping the same lower (XCR pistol mags)? Also, will the upper fit and feed from WK180C lowers with XCR mags? Also also, if they DO fit and feed from WK180s will you be selling just the populated upper receiver?
If we're ever in a position to use full-cap mags again, AK (or better yet, T81) mags are the way to go, as they are curved properly to feed well. The curve is necessary due to the taper on the 7.62x39 casing. XCR 7.62x39 pistol mags work ok, as they're only 10 rounds, but full-capacity STANAG mags don't feed as reliably as properly curved mags. This is why the Bren2 7.62x39, for example, has its own proprietary mags and slightly larger magwell to accomadate those mags.
...why reply if you don't actually know the answer?
Great to hear! I would suggest the above combo would be in demand enough to justify its own SKU/Product page. Call it the Competition package, as the above would be useful for those who want a nice trigger and less broken pistons for competition. The same kind of page/SKU could be made for the 5.56 WK Gen 2.
it's an ar15 barrel extension,
you can make a grendle 2 from this for sure but will need to increase the depth of your bolt face
Cause i have akmags and no stang xcrs. So it's relevant to me. And going back to fullcap idea is never gonna happen unless your criminal and ak mags are cheaper.
So thats my reply.
What’s the upper receiver bushing made out of? Same plastic as the other wk’s?
I’m interested in buying, but as the other fella mentioned, having some better parts pre-installed would be the way to go. And additional spare parts

Agreed!
These rifles are excellent for the dollar and at this rate may be very rare one day. The two I have seen were under 50 in the serial #. As mentioned by TNA there is over 10k gen2 wk's in circulation.
Hope lots of these make it out. Canada has enough x39 that's for sure..
