Wk180-c feedback

[Mark-II]

I tried mine out this past weekend.

Tula ammo feeding from a metal XCR mag would sometimes run into the feed ramp without chambering. Other mags worked fine. Federal independence worked fine. I may have run a handful of norc, and it worked fine

Accuracy...eh... considering I have DD irons on it, my eyes were probably as much at fault as the rifle.

Not much for ejector marks on the revceiver, but I do run a 3Bucc brass catcher attached to the handguard - the pic rail on the receiver is out of spec on the large side - my brass catcher mount would not fit it and, in fact broke when I persuaded it.

Gun ran fine with the Triggertech in it. No malfunctions other than the few feed errors with the Tula. No odd primer marks that I could tell.

I had the gubbins lubed up sloppy with wheel bearing grease, and noticed nothing unexpected for wear/markings afterwards.

It's probably way over gassed, by the briskness of operation.

As my designated blaster, it's probably going to see nothing but surplus ammo until I run out of same. I don't plan to spend time tuning reloads for it.

It's a rifle I bought for political reasons more than any other.

Good on Wolverine for forcing the other guy to blink. I'm proud to support that.

Sorry for the size, ill look into making these pics smaller, but First pic is 5 round group just after sighting with a 3x Vortex Spitfire at 40 yards, The squares are 1". The second pic is a 10 round group from 40 with the 3x from prone with my toolbag as a rest. I don't see an issue with the accuracy of this rifle and with a better scope and moving out to 100 or 200 yards i'm pretty confident i could reciprocate these shots.

As an Added note , My 10 round pistol mags only work with 9 rounds as the gun wont chamber the round with 10 but works none the less. the Hera mags work flawlessly and all mags drop freely. i havent had any issues with the primers as others noted and everything looks and feels good.

Thanks Wolverine, i look forward to future productions when the times comes.

In Wylde barrels other then the 180?

Maybe my issues with the WC180 is ammo. Perhaps the rifle is just fine then.

Yep, on 2 different AR's. One had a DD barrel, the other had a Rainer Barrel.

Took mine out today for the first time. Ran fine for the first 100 or so rounds using PMC .223 55 gr and some MFS 62 gr soft points. Then it became a jammomatic sad to say. When I switched back to the brass cased PMC then every few rounds when fired it would not extract the case but would try to feed another round. Looked like the extractor claw was coming off the rim of the cartridges. Once the round that was pushed in behind the one left in the chamber was removed a simple cycle of the bolt and the casing in the chamber would seem to come out no problem. This happened numerous times to the point I got fed up and came home. Took the rifle apart to check and clean it. Pulled bolt apart and extractor claw seems to not have much spring pressure. In fact just holding the bolt in my fingers putting barely any pressure on the extractor claw and the retaining pin for the extractor claw falls out. I was really hoping this rifle would have no problems but it seems that will not be the case. I hope it is just the extractor claw and not other issues. What would need to be done to get more spring tension on the extractor? My XCR-L has a lot stronger extractor spring than this...

Just picked mine up today from the post office. Love the feel and weighting. Shoulders great. I was curious as I don’t t recall reading anything stating if it does or doesn’t come with a paper manual or simply an online PDF. I only received the rifle, a couple extra pieces, the two mags and a warranty card. Am I missing anything?

Ljones - I would contact koadiak about your extraction issue, could be a light spring, I’m sure someone more knowledgeable then myself will chime in

I already have messaged them. Awaiting a reply.

online manual. You can download it and have a copy on your device. Or print it out if you want but not really needed.

Seems like the weak extractor spring is more than a "one off". It's been mentioned before.

When I clean my WK180c, I also noticed the spring extractor is *MUCH* weaker compared to my MCX as well.

I haven't had any fail to ejects yet, but now it makes me a bit worried I'll see that problem soon haha...

I've already shot over 500 rounds from mine though without issue, so not sure...
- I also started off mostly using PMC 223, then PPU 223, then American Eagle 223, going to be running at least 250x Barnaul 62g 223's this Sunday, hopefully the extractor doesn't fail.

mine was one of the first rifles in public hands and I reported the weak extractor spring issue on the 20th of July. It was remedied by a new extractor sent by John himself.

I'm a bit disappointed that more people have reported the issue since.

Kodiak messaged me today to try to "stretch" the spring a little and see if that helps... not sure how to do that on such a tiny spring, but I never found stretching a spring made it work any better for long.

 

[Mark-II]

yeah....all stretching a spring does is speed up the degredation of the spring

For those looking for the manual, here's the quick link to it.

Im curious if someone could provide a list of the parts that come in the spare part bag.

She is destined for a new home shortly. The DOG has done us well but it is time it makes it's journey.

Honestly that stock looks far better than the m4 style abortion to me if we're just talking aesthetics here.
My one and only gripe about this rifle is the look of that collapsing stock :S
Question; if I wanted to put an ace skeleton stock on it, i should simply need an A2 buffer tube and the ACE stock correct?

Yes the ace stock requires an A2 buffer tube, nothing more. Other than an armourer’s wrench to get the nut off.

I've actually just discovered the fixed MOE carbine stock.
I've searched the q and a thread on the Wk180
Is the stock buffer tube commercial or mil spec diameter? Someone confirm please if possible?
