Just curious on other people's thoughts on different WK parts that could be made that you would buy. For example I personally would love a charging handle similar to the original AR 180 dog leg charging handle for my WK or even forends that are similar to the original so I could make a clone. Let me know what you think!
WK180 potential design upgrades
- Thread starter Druzhina
- Start date
Some 'design upgrades' I'd love to see...
- ACR/XCR style bolt catch/release at the front of the trigger guard
- Bren2 style charging handle arrangement with a more-or-less sealed receiver to ensure crud can't get in
- AR15 magwell contour
- Galil-style folding stock
These are a bit more than simple things I could buy and bolt on though.

Take it hunting. You'll be fine.

I also want an original ar180 copy, add it to my list of dream Cold War era rifles
Friend of mine has a pair of original AR180b rifles and they feel lightweight and plasticy. Doesn't actually endear them to me. The WK180c feels way more solid and substantial.
I had thought (back when I had early WK180s) that the ideal would be a WK180 lower with an original AR180B upper. Nice solid aluminum lower with a classic upper... sweet. If I'd been able to swap uppers with someone I would have in a second.

A guy on here did that he does costume builds and I think he sells the parts to swap out the original 180b plastic lower with a first get wk180 lower not sure on his name tho
Someone did, a decade ago. He's a jerk though and only made them for himself.
