Can someone please post a picture of the proof mark. The reason I ask is I finally recieved my wk180c and unfortunately my serial number falls within the recall, but my bolt carrier has a white 5digit number on it. Is this the proof mark??

They said if it’s numbered on the carrier it’s good to go! Well is it threaded bolt?
 
I have to say super impressed with the service from Kodiak, they literally processed and shipped out my replacement BCG (with threaded handle upgrade) the same day they received the old one, and they even included a nice handwritten note.
 
Soooooo its almost june. What are you doing about the threaded charging handle "upgrade"

Are you making us pay to fix something we never shouldve received in the first place ?

I need to know before sending my bolt back and getting it sent back to me with the magnetic charging handle thats eating the receivers.
 
I'd love to hear whats going on too, currently my wk isnt getting used at all, every range trip the wear and damage got worse and worse.

I do have to say that I've been impressed with Kodiak's turn around on this. Out on a Tues back the next Monday! New bolt carrier with a threaded handle!
 
I've emailed kodiak asking about the proof mark on my threaded bolt assembly.....since my serial number falls within the recall.....but all I get is a " too busy to respond to specific inquiries please see attached info" I just want to confirm that my bolt assembly with the 5digit white numbers is indeed the proof mark and that it's ok to go even if my serial number falls within recall. Rather not send it in if theres no need.

I don't understand what you said here.
You're not using your WK but it gets taken to the range and the wear and damage is getting worse and worse?

If your bolt is engraved 19129 it has already passed inspection and is good to go.
 
Too bad either Wolverine or Kodiak didn't upload the affected serial numbers to their websites so you could type yours in and see if its subject to the recall

I meant it’s not getting used anymore because each trip the damage was getting worse. Thought it was pretty clear.

Wasn't clear to me but I may be slightly retarded.
So are you saying that the WK is not well made? Is your issue only the recalled BCG or is it the entire firearm?

I have an early model with the magnetic charging handle. The early design lets the charging handle pop out of the BCG while firing just enough to bang and gouge up the receiver. I don't think alot of folks have this issue but the few that do have been vocal about it because of Kodiak's unwillingness to do do anything about it. I don't think anyone with a threaded charging handle has experienced this issue yet so its likely a small group of folks effected with early serial numbers. I loved my rifle till this issue started happening, but then became more vocal about it after Kodiak & Wolverine basically were not willing to help. The only thing i'm hoping for now is that an upgraded threaded charging handle will be offered to those effected with damaged receivers free of charge but with Wolverine scrubbing their forums of guys that complain about the issue and what I perceive as horrible warranty service from Kodiak the outlook doesn't look good. People effected will likely be asked to fork out more money to resolve it as they see it as an upgrade not a fix.

The vast majority of WK owners love their rifles and have had a great experience dealing with Kodiak and their BCG recall. I just happen to be one of the unlucky ones that gets to see the bad side of Kodiaks customer service. For the money its hard to beat the value you get from the WK in a NR semi auto, but just sucks lemons when you end up problematic firearm with crappy factory support.
