I just received my WK-180C from Tradex this morning, I also had a pre-order with Wolverine, which I cancelled because of the wait time. Eyes wide shut my millennial harpies. Or as they used to say, suck it up buttercup. Move on.
 
... Or as they used to say, suck it up buttercup....

They still say that. :D

I've never had any problems communicating with Wolverine. I said it before that they could have been better at regular updates in the beginning, but live and learn - I doubt they expected this level of interest in the project. And certainly it's the largest one they have undertaken.

I can see them not responding to emails/calls if they contained the tone in some of these comments. You get what you give.
 
Can everyone that posts a complaint about the wait, the poor communication, the $50 cancelation fee (or any other burden this rifle has done to your life ) please just cancel your order? I would then recieve mine faster and not have to scroll past a bunch of whiny posts to gather some info. This form was created for information and not whining so please move on.

What I would like to see as I wait patiently for my new toy is some pics of some custom builds. Different scopes, sights, stocks or paint jobs. Maybe some insight on trigger jobs or fitment of aftermarket goods. Tips. Tricks. Anything other than what the bulk of this content has been about.

Wolverine has done a good thing here to bring us a rifle that looks pretty awesome for an NR. Thank you for doing this.
 
Im just happy Wolverine made something like this.

I grabbed my from another source sorry :(

But I cant wait for the 7.62 version

Probably the greatest message in the last several pages when I’m this thread took a turn.
There’s another threat names “let’s see your wk “ with like of pics and ideas.
I actually found a great inexpensive scope with extra laser and red dot. 3 sights in one! Loving it
 
I felt compelled to join this forum for the purpose of extolling the the job Wolverine has done in conjunction with Kodiak in bringing this rifle to market and to deflect what I see as unfair criticism of a company who is doing a bang up job with an enviable but challenging situation and learning along the way. I was very aware when I submitted my pre-order that the wait would be "lengthy" and I would be charged a $50 restocking fee should I renege on the agreement I entered into with them. I can only imagine anyone who claims they weren't aware of the stipulations didn't read the contract they were entering into...it was plain as day when I signed up. I have also found as much information as I needed along the way to keep me satisfied that progress was being made and that in due time I would in fact receive my rifle. To suggest in any way that the good folks at Wolverine have behaved below board during this process in my opinion is totally unfair and inappropriate. Hindsight is 20/20 and maybe they would have done things a little differently knowing what they know now, but they are doing what they promised and that is delivering a quality product at a great price in as timely a manner as is practical.
 
I have been waiting now for almost 13 months and have been following the delays and set backs because of third parties and the improvemnets being made to the firearms as time goes on. I am still very excited about the WK180-C and I am checking my email everyday for a great news that says your Kodiak WK180-C is ready. Spring is almost here and I am looking forward to a great Spring and Summmer of shooting. I didn't expect this long of a wait when i placed my preorder at the time. Only thing i did do was to confirm that I was still on the list Wolverine has been up front with good explanations about any delays that have taken place. Thanks Mr. Wolverine.
 
You’re going to love it! I was one of the lucky ones who ordered from a third-party retailer and got it in nine months. I would have gladly waited...Especially now that I’ve had it for a month and know what I have.

^ this. I found a BNIB one on the EE and snapped it up, cancelling my order. It was worth the $100 or so difference to have it in my sweaty palms a few days later. Took a couple of non-owner friends to the range and they all preferred it over my 16" AR and my Mini 14.

I really like it. Simple, robust. A little heavier/longer than a SLR/MS but still great. I have made mine a dedicated 300m gun with a 9x scope and a bipod.
 
Anyone want to take a ballpark guess at a delivery date? What's the over/under on order 32700?

Closest to the date wins a set of steak knives and a year subscription to Impatient Firearms Enthusiast Quarterly.
 
Wow, I'm still 7000 away, at 100 per week that's still a year and a half.

Order numbers also include all the other products we sell, not just WK1890-C. Watch how the order numbers advance over the next few weeks and you will be able to better judge time lines. In the above list there is 124 between the first and last order and that is not counting the web orders but only 50 rifles. On the other hand some orders will be for multiply units, use this only as a rough guide please.
