WK181C 7.62x39?!

[CobraGT]

Finally here?!

I'm very tempted, despite the VERY mixed WK180 reviews and issues over the years...

Buy it and do your own review!

Perfect timing with the serb coming out

Certainly looks cool, but I imagine it retains the same sub-par build quality as previous Kodiak stuff. Also the inclusion of a bolt release is kinda strange on a platform without the magazines to utilize it.

I am interested too but I will wait until the first reviews.

The gas system is finally supposed to be more refined and fixed in this. So we'll see how well it runs

What's coming out?

What's coming out?

Zastava M19? Don't think it is coming to the Canadian market at all...

You mean the next generation of AK-47? LOL, not in a lifetime.

Serb was incorrect!

So is the bushing plastic still? Or will it matter because the gas system is supposedly fixed or

 

[Ustauk]

Bats88 has a teardown and initial impression video:

It looks like they added the brass bushing by default, and the gas system now has an enclosed sleeve the end to hopefully reinforce the narrow end of the piston with the spring on it. There is a closed end on the block, so an the handguard will have to be removed for cleaning, but no more banjo bolt to be loosen and fly out.

 

[fritzhanzel]

Looks interesting but some points like the stripping screws is concerning.

 

[Ustauk]

From an update, according to Bats88 the piston is now so secure he can't figure out how to remove it for cleaning! Hopefully Kodiak can provide some guidance. It apparently does not like his Czech steel cased ammo, but ate cheap Chinese corrosive brass fine.

Bats888 has put out a video update with instructions from. Kodiak in how to remove the piston, and a TNA handguard mini review. https://youtu.be/bhz7GhbaWcY

Bats888 has uploaded a 275 round progress video for his WK181C, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3A0xZ2Fi-M. No issues, other then something related to the "manual of arms" for the firearm and the bolt.

he says its running quite well. Damn pinned mags, we could actually get a 1,000 round review much faster

Mine ran very well... i put quite a few rounds through it with pretty much no jams. It was very accurate for a service rifle.

Just watched that 275 round video posted above and the accuracy results shown looked good.

How many shots? and pretty much no jams? as in it did jam but not as much as first gen? If I could find one for sale i'd buy it and test myself
