What about the part in the new gun laws announced today that manufactures can not classify their own manufactured firearms in & for sale in Canada ?

manufacturers were NEVER able to classify their own firearms,what Wolverine did and i must congradulate them on that one,is copy an existing receiver design that is already Non-restricted,genius really,actually any good machinist could do the same for his own purpose,but Wolverine has the manufacturing capabilty established to be able to pull this off,
 
This is not a technical question, but I am not sure where else to ask it. I am also sure this is a question many other people have.

Hypothetically speaking, if I were to pay the $200 down paypent (or pay in full) before June 30th, would all of my information be taken down and the rifle transfered to me as per the upcoming law, seeing as the rifle would be shipped next fall? Or would this not apply since it is already bought and paid for?
 
Gas systems


Our working prototypes were short length gas pistons, I wanted to change to mid length as I felt it would give a more balanced look. On reflection we have decided to stay with the short length gas system but using a mid length hand guard, we are getting good accuracy with this set up, so why change. We may look at mid length or even rifle length gas systems in the future but no promises, this could be 9 or 12 months away.

I did announce that all production guns were going to be mid length gas system, they will not, they will be short. If any one has ordered the WK180-C based on the mid length gas system they can cancel and have a full refund. Given that this change was mine and not as forecast I will, for this occurrence only, not charge the $50 admin fee if anyone wishes to cancel, sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused for some customers.

We still expect that the first orders will be filled in May, not sure what our weekly deliveries will be at this time.

Do we have any updated images on the rifle with the gas system and new handguard? Will the takedown of the gas system be impeded by the longer handguard?

Unfortunately images of the completed hand guard will be one of the last available. The gas piston and spring will come forward through and out of the gas block similar to the FN FAL rifle, the means that the hand guard can cover the gas block with out hindering take down for routine maintenance. A long allen key will be required to take out the gas plug.

What ammo has Wolverine tried in the WK180 C and what have you found to shoot the best?

Hornady steel match has turned in sub MOA groups but this was with a Daniel Defence 16 inch 1:7 light barrel, this gives an indication of what our WK180-C is capable of, production rifles will not be using DD barrels.

We have fired over 4,000 rds for endurance testing and for this we used X-metal 55gr ammo.

Any chance, in a future iteration, of a square piece to change the ejection side - like a JR Carbine?

We have no plans to make a "reversible' , left to right side, bolt ejection at this time. Remember my original concept was to keep the retail under $1,000.00, if we cater for every option at this early stage then the price has to go up, I am not going to do that.

In the future maybe, but I would have to be convinced that the demand is there.
 
So I'm contemplating ordering one of your rifles and I'm also looking at the Nodak spud rifle. No one has brought this to light. So I feel the question needs to be asked, with bill C71 lurking over us and your rifle not having an FRT what happens if the RCMP decide to class it as prohibited. Your 180C is a new platform and not having a polymer lower does that not open the door to having the rifle classed as a 180 and there prohibited??

Would I get a full refund if this happens
