The WK180C Gen 2™ is designed and manufactured in Canada by Kodiak Defence Inc, to provide an affordable, reliable, lightweight rifle for recreational shooting. The upper receiver is finished with a STANAG 4964* rail (Picatinny rail) to allow the fitting of optics or sights. The rifle is chambered in 5.56 NATO and is also capable of firing .223 Rem ammunition. Standard AR-15 magazines are used.
Changes from the WK180C that are included in the WK180C Gen 2 include: a non-reciprocating cocking handle, a 15" handguard, a standard AR-15 selector and trigger mechanism pins, a more contoured lower receiver that allows "beavertail" pistol grips to be installed, captive take down pins, an improved gas system, and a bolt catch lever.
*There is slightly less underclearance on the rail of the upper receiver than is specified by STANAG 4964. There are some sights which will not be able to be mounted to the rifle without adaptors, but almost all sights on the market will mount without issue. Consult the manual before purchasing sights for this rifle.

I thoroughly enjoy my gen 1 wk180c. I have had no major issues with mine the only issue that I had was the charge handle screw was loose so I changed to the new one. But other than that do a clean before you take it out . I have had it since they 1st came out and I run it hard . Plus they have great warranty and they actually respond when you contact them.
Reading poor reviews I was discouraged from buying one of these rifles, but after getting one, going over it thoroughly, and putting out almost two thousand rounds I can see much of the issues arising around operator error and failure to maintain the rifle i gave it 4 stars because some minor/basic mechanical inclination is required to keep it operating smoothly.
I feel a bit sorry for this product being ran through the dirt over problems caused by the operator.
Cheap material choice throughout rifle. Same gas issues as last mode plus new ones.
Gun is high maintenance and not very reliable. Piston snapped under 150 rounds.
Gun rattling apart, screws all loose and flash suppressor came off while firing. The rail and the upper are out of Alignment and the butt was crooked as well.
If your looking for a semi auto rifle.. I would just keep looking.
Invest 250$ dollars and get something with a serious manufacturer.
