I've heard some mostly negative comments about the trigger. Like how bad bad is it actually? Like SKS bad style or what would one have to expect? Would it be wise to change the trigger in order to get a well shooting rifle before putting lipstick on the p.........?

Its a matter of personal preference. I won't be changing the trigger on mine.
 
I'll be changing mine, way too much creep and too heavy a pull for the coyote hunting I intend to use it for. Not going to break the bank on a trigger but something lighter and crisper will be nice. I do appreciate that the safety is silent in operation, that cost me one dog in the past.

I have an SSA-E in my AR. Went with the $110 ALG for the 180. It's an awesome trigger for the price.

Thanks for the tip, I see they don't list the pull but rather say it is not less than 5.5 lbs. Would you say it is less than the stock trigger?

The ALG is Mil-spec so 'around' 6 pounds. I don't have a trigger gauge to check it with but there is no grittiness at all so when you pull the trigger it just breaks nicely with a fairly short reset.

Because it is smoother than the OEM trigger it 'seems' like a lighter pull, but as I say I have no way to measure it.

Could you take the OEM trigger out and polish it to make it way better? Probably.
If you don't want to drop the C note plus it might be worth the effort. Plenty of YouTube videos out there showing you what to polish on an AR trigger.

I'm going to polish the OEM one for a spare.
 
Primary arms makes amazing stuff. I had the 1-6 with the acss reticle. Used it on a 308 and a 223. Great glass and tracks well. On a side note, just installed a hyperfire drop in sharpshooter trigger in a WK180. Went in with no issues
 
The wait for the one I have on order from Wolverine is going to be long so I snagged one from SFRC to keep myself busy until my Wolverine order arrives.

This one's going to be a project gun. I got an Odin Works 18.6" 300blk barrel for it and I'll see if I can get it running. The gas system length is the same so everything "should" fit together properly. Big factor is going to be if the gas port size is appropriate to make the 180-C run. If it's too big and over gassing then I'm outta luck unless an adjustable gas block becomes available. If it's too small to make it run the gas port can easily be drilled out in tiny increments until it will run properly.

Hopefully it works, if not then oh well, at least I can't say I didn't try.

EDIT: It's also getting a Magpul MOE fixed carbine stock.

When you find good value let me know. I got mine as a critter gitter too.
 
Another dumb question. Does the block shape of the receiver increase the length of pull or is it the same as a standard AR15?
