I had the same issue. I think it's too long.
Try using the screw that came on the rifle.

I'm not having that level of problem but mine is really tight to push forward far enough to open it. I end up using the end of a fired case to help push.
ok guys, to those wanting a brass deflector at a reasonable price....a fellow member just sent me a pm about a guy in Manitoba selling them for $25CAD shipped which is less than half of what the other guy is selling them for. I ordered one so should get it in a week or so. This is the item description below. It was Easy to find on eBay.ca he’s also including an oring for the rear lug some have been complaining about.
“This is a brass deflector for a Kodiak Defense WK180-C Rifle. It installs into the ejection port and right-hand side charge-handle slide and prevents brass from impacting and marking the receiver by deflecting ejected shells forward.
These are 3D printed with ABS plastic, which is strong and wear-resistant. The parts are sold 'raw' as they are printed and will have visible lines from the printing process.
You will receive a deflector, retaining anchor, socket head screw, nut and an O-Ring. It is recommended that loctite is used on the screw during installation. Do not over tighten the screw. The O-Ring is optional and can be installed on the rear locating post of your upper receiver to help reduce play between the upper and lower receivers.”

That's correct. I don't want to pre-sell, so I only will list what I have ready to ship out.
Check back in a couple days, I should have another batch ready to go.

About 3 seconds with my map gas torch and they came out zero issues
Please post the photos you sent to Wolverine, it would be interesting to see. The WK has a gas piston that to me looks exceptionally well made in a tried and true captive system. After your initial 20 rounds one would presume it was installed correctly. The newer CNC production machines would and should reject non conforming parts and material.

Just got mine a few days ago from TRADEX . A few issues #1 - The charging handle/cocking lever VERY SLOPPY in bolt and rides along the rail. No magnet [ seems to be a on going issue ]. #2 - No owners manual included [ I live in the country with limited internet and do not have a printer ] It come with x2 mags and a spare parts kit tho. I contacted KODIAK and the issue was sorted out very quickly. My rifle # 19CA1345.

Hi y’all! Just added an o ring around the lug and the play between upper and lower just stops. Whoohoo! I also added magpul type 1 rail covers in fde and it is now soft and comfortable to hold the hand guard, without it was weird and uncomfortable. Makes me wanna just hold it now. Still waiting for few parts and ready to operate. Thank you for everyone being involved in this historical era of Canadian made rifle. Also, people with good ideas beyond my imagination I say this is Canadian pride and integrity.

Can we use something like Yankee Hill EZ pull or similar takedown pin to replace the pivot pin instead of the one with a screw head? Thanks.

You mean E-Clip?
The pivot pin is not AR size.
RWA makes a direct replacement with a screw head instead of the clip.

Great, thanks. I had a pair of extended takedown pins (like pic below) kicking around and thought I could use them. The pin will fit snugly but the detent and spring can't be used. I'll check out RWA.
