WK180-C Folding Stock - Prototype

Not open for further replies.
I am just back from the Shot Show, yes I know I am retired and shouldn’t have been there, but if I want my Wolverine pension the new boss said I would be there! I joke, seriously I enjoyed assisting the Kodiak team as they had a booth there, it was very interesting to attend the Shot Show for the first time as an exhibiter, this meant I wasn’t able to walk the Show and I missed meeting a lot of old associates, most of them are now good friends. We worked hard but as always, we played hard. 

The high light of the show for me was on the last day we found a “Galil type” folding stock, very good quality, with a steel hinge. We have a sample and in the next few weeks will be looking at fitting it to a WK180-C rifle. I do not know what this will do to the retail, it will all depend on our cost, I do know it will cause a modest price increase but I think this will become the standard stock in the future.

If this goes ahead my intention would be to offer the folding stock to all existing back orders as an alternative stock at an increased price (to be determined). It will take at least 8 weeks before this can happen, if we make the decision to go with it. If the customer elected to stay with the current stock then the current price would be honoured. At some point in the future we would change to the new folding stock and all orders placed from that date onwards would have a folding stock as standard at the new increased pricing.

As always I would be interested in hearing feedback from CGN members.
 
Excellent news...i would be very interested in this as the stock furniture. I just hope my preorder is far enough off to be availible with this variant of stock

Is it a folding stock that screws into the buffer tube socket, like the ACE AR15 Skelton Folding stock set? Or is it a new back end that doesn't have a buffer tube socket, meaning someone who would want to use an AR-15 stock would have to order an alternate version with the socket if the folder is the default? Thanks!

It would be a hinge stock that would require a different stock adapter, no compatibility with any buffer tube. Anyone requiring a buffer tube fitting would have to order the stock adapter (buffer tube) as currently fitted.
 
I definitely want one for my already-purchased WK. Will you be making these available to those of us who have already purchased rifles first, or making them available on new-production rifles before selling them to prior WK customers?
