Wk180-c feedback

[Dr. Hunter]

It's slightly loose and doesn't thread in but don't think it'll come out unless the gun is disassembled

 

[Cranky Pants]

Is 9 pound pull typical?

Is that what you measured it at? I wish I had a pull gauge because it is very heavy, even my cheapy PSA SBR pulls at half the weight and no creep. The WK 180 is pretty similar to an SKS trigger.

If I could have, I'd order the rifle with no trigger or furniture and no flash device as all these things I will change.

 

[Bubba Yugga]

My gauge maxes out at 8, but the overtravel off scale looks close to 9.
This was after I polished the sear and hammer claw.
At least I got the grittiness out.
The creep and weight still sux.

charging handle is magnet secured. The magnet popped out in mine so I locteted it in.

the magnet was a last minute design change and John says that they will be going back to the O-ring secured charging handle, and all owners will be sent one.

 

[Apolhuis]

I paid pre order.. No notice for rest of payment.. I'll have to email these guys

 

[Ilove12gshotguns]

These sound like great rifles.

Only a few bugs to work out.

Wrong way round, the O ring was a last minute change but we are back to the magnet. The idea is to keep the charging handle clear of the receiver when the gun is firing, it is not to retain the charging handle.

That's an odd one. Mine is staked in on either side of the magnet.

I just got home and disassembled the rifle to see if I have a magnet or not. I sure do! Ingenious!

Mr Wolverine, what are your thoughts on dry firing this rifle? Is it able to sustain dry fire practice?

Some of the first production were not staked, they are a "push fit" but we now stake them all. Using Lock Tite is a good fix, thank you.

Personally I do not like to see any dry firing carried out with any firearm unless you use good quality snap caps. You can make your own by inserting a nylon plug in place of the primer in an empty resized case.

Anybody try $7 dollar trigger job fix !? with a set screw Grip screw mod?

 

[Duncan71]

Gun looks and feels good. Swapped the trigger out for a DPMS trigger from a LPK I paid $50 for off brownells. I wonder where these triggers come from because I always thought DPMS was bottom of the barrel but it is waaay better. Also, would be interested in Wolverine chiming in on the adjustment of the hand guard to gas block. Wondering if there is any user adjustable ways of evening the gap and contact out - sending off for warranty seems a waste.

Unfortunately negative feedback goes farther - so Im dropping this caveat in here. Gun is awesome. Absolutely stellar. Would not hesitate to buy again, and spot on bargain.

Mine also maxes out at 8 lbs but I'm thinking it's like a 10 lb pull

 

[Chumlee Bumsnag]

Mine has horrible trigger also. ALG ACT trigger on the way.

 

[Martim]

I have a ACT trigger coming from TNA and some trigger grip screws.
I JUST finished a BCL/NEA reciver build with a BCM trigger it was about a 6-7ish # pull pressure seated it in and installed a grip screw/ set screw Minimum creep no pre travel brakes at about 4.5-5#.
I hope it goes as well with my pet wolverine

 

[Ecks]

Had the chance to shoot it at GAT show. Great rifle. Kicking myself at this point as I don't have the funds to buy it now. Only complaint I have with it is the fore "stock" was quite warm with all the rounds that had gone through her. Some grip scales would work great.

 

[Nismo]

Mine showed up this morning, just got back from the Range, I'm in love with the rifle, but not the trigger, shot a 3" 5 shot group at 100" with Colt ammo, we will see if it tightens up any when I get the new trigger installed, and different ammo.

But overall I'm impressed by the quality of the build. Great job Wolverine and Kodiak!

I had to get some risers for my scope rings at the LGS, lots of people were interested to say the least, one guy behind the counter had one preordered, and another customer did aswell. They loved being able to hold it before they got theirs.

 

[CC89]

Just got mine today too. Looks pretty good, definitely needs some oil. Upper and lower has a little play. Does anyone elses upper rails not line up perfectly?? Not a big deal but does screw with my ocd. Overall it feels great and i'm pumped to get out and shoot it.

 

[DinduNuffin]

Took mine to a indoor range yesterday and put 60 rounds of XM193's through it using the recommended break in procedure.....no issues. Have a Burris AR-332 sight on it with a Accu-tac bipod...fed nice with 10 round pistol mags. Plan on putting in a Hyperfire sharpshooter trigger....heard it drops in super slick.
Got another one coming this week.....every respectable CGNer should have at least two.
