FYI, Being a bargain hunter Kodiac sells a drop in Brass Bushing (no drilling) for 11.49 P/N: WK180C-U-14B

[@CanadianCaliber]

👍

[@skylerdylan1005]

Just ordered the drop in brass bushing

[@hitman19971]

Upper looks awesome. But the fact that the Upper and handguard pic rails dont line up height wise sets the OCD off.

[@ustauk3552]

Looks great! Will True North Arms be releasing a WK181C style multi-part piston for the Gen 1 and Gen 2 WK180 to solve the piston snapping issue?

[@CanadianCaliber]

You should contact them and ask! It's quite possible

[@wd2969]

Love this video...and good call out on the eotech.....I was scratching my head trying to figure it out back when. Great video, I appreciate the attention to detail so that folks who may not have a lot of experience with the swap see how easy it is. Been waiting for more of your content so keep it coming!!!!

[@CanadianCaliber]

Glad you liked it!

[@JannyBesmircher]

Ive seen so many issues with these on Reddit. I wanted to get one for my first rifle but ended up getting an SKS and Type 81 instead.

[@BaconSlayer69]

Smart decision same here man

[@Dmac6969]

I've fired 1800 rounds through mine, and not a single issue

[@Jake23115]

That's what I did, wouldn't mind getting the 7.62mm version of thise though

[@scottsmith7352]

Good choice

[@Curtis.Carpenter]

​@@Jake23115i have it, its a nice piece.. However a different gas system than the 556 and as a result slightly different issues however some people seem to put thousands of rounds through without problem and others have failures right off the get-go all I know is the breaking. is a certainty with these line of rifles even the Gen2s. I got the 7.62 X39 because I can then share ammo with my SKS. 14 the Bush and 1 forbthe inevitable push. If you've got the 1.5 K it's not a bad decision and works with all AR parts aside from the fact that it only accepts AK mags. And being in Canada because of the pistol magazine loophole it is difficult to find AAK Meg that holds 10 rounds as there are to the Best Of my knowledge no Pistol magazines that hold 10 rounds of 762.. However if bad things come a 30rnd mag neutered to 5 with a tiny pin due to Canadian laws will hardly be a barrier. nuff said. i like my gen2 7.62, 3600 rnds through. Only issues so far were some screws that simply needed lock type and for me to have a better understanding of the inner workings as well as some parts that I chose to upgrade. Such as the trigger mechanism for a lighter pull as the standard pull is roughly 7 pounds or so ,as well as optics, Bipod and forend lower grip etc. One thing that does mildly annoy me however insignificant is the fact that a traditional trigger lock will not properly seat over the trigger guard as the paddles for the AK Mag release stop this.

[@agaziag7903]

One of the first rifles I wanted to buy, opted for the WK181 instead.

[@BaconSlayer69]

Smart move

[@240sxRule]

Loving my 181 after 1k rounds.

[@jhvkkogcvjoh1186]

What is the key difference in the two?

[@AquaticLogic]

@@jhvkkogcvjoh1186 Google

[@mrsmile7771]

​@@jhvkkogcvjoh1186 the 181 has a slightly different gas system and is chambered in 7.62x39. It also uses akm mags.

[@KodiakDerek]

Excellent work gentlemen.

[@CanadianCaliber]

Thank you !

[@sosa3103]

Where can I buy this whole setup you just installed

[@CanadianCaliber]

True North arms website. Not sure if they have in stock though

[@pcakes1878]

ya i was dissapointed that my buis wouldnt fold down cus of how fat that upper is, maybe ill have to look into replacing with that tna upper.

[@tonychristie2450]

I just purchased a WK and am interested in that upgraded/ enhanced upgrade. But I can’t find it on TNA’s website. Do you know if it is still available?

[@MAKECANADAGREATAGAIN205]

Been seeing alot of negative about the gen 2 still about breaking pistons. Is there a fix for breaking less pistons ?

[@CanadianCaliber]

I think those were some of the earlier models and when people changed the piston it ran smoothly without breaking

[@Hafmanhaffamazn]

The brass bushing and proper rigid maintenance (cleaning, oiling, tightening) and never had an issue. Some go the extra mile and get a adjustable gas block but I don’t see the need personally

[@mrsmile7771]

This is dope, is there one for the 181?

[@russellrenke]

Where do you get this upper. I looked on TNA and can’t find it??

[@CanadianCaliber]

Might be out of stock, best bet is to email them!

[@kellyreid8230]

Any chance of making upgrades for the BCL Siberian??

[@CanadianCaliber]

Reach out to True North and they will answer that

[@sdpy15]

Great product, had my eye on it but ended up buying a different gun. The difference in height between the two rails does look a little weird, but i guess the handguard could be upgraded too.

[@CanadianCaliber]

It's really not that bad when you look at it up close

[@COMMANDERFOX31]

Thanks for the video. I really want to see this new part in practice. The question is, will this really solve the reliability issues of the WK180-C Gen 2?

[@CanadianCaliber]

The dust cover and charging handle is very nice. Keeps those areas closed

[@Dmac6969]

And the brass bushing should help with the piston issues

[@codymerke3393]

Would be awesome if you guys could come up with a bolt release that pivots down instead of up love your products

[@CanadianCaliber]

Let the good people over at TNA know 👍

[@NorthRiverGuide]

Take off the bolt release lever and rotate it forward. It then pivots down.

[@Starsofanthems]

Definitely buying great video as per usual

[@CanadianCaliber]

Enjoy!

[@Alfonso-rs2du]

Where can I purchase the enhanced upper? Doesn’t seem to be available on tna website anymore

[@CanadianCaliber]

Send them an email, you never know!

[@glassy-waters-production.]

Also running into same problem finding it.

[@raceme69]

Me aswell lol

[@Horsemanpro63]

I have a gen 1 rifle, is there any benefits to getting the gen. 2 rifle or just upgrade my gen 1,,I like the dust cover, since I own an AR15 Colt ,,it maybe gone due to Gov. buyback, so,,,whats your opinion,?. Thanks

[@CanadianCaliber]

Not sure if there are any Gen 1 kits available but it's totally fine!

[@jubimilay2759]

Hi just wondering where u get the extended charging handle?

[@CanadianCaliber]

True North arms. Check their website 👍

[@lal7103]

I want to change the handguard to the TNA one, but I don't know how to swap the barrel nut. Do you a video about change the barrel nut?

[@CanadianCaliber]

Maybe check our first WK180 upgrade video, but it's not that difficult. Contact True North arms and they will help you out!

[@sammasic5849]

TNA Should make a hand guard that matches the TNA enhanced upper , make it so it matches those squared edges as well.

[@CanadianCaliber]

Great idea and I'm sure they are working on it

[@pierreferrer7237]

Can the Enhanced Receiver be installed on a WS-MCR in 7,62x39?

[@CanadianCaliber]

No I don't think it can be, as much as how similar those two platforms are its designed specifically for the WK

[@MAKECANADAGREATAGAIN205]

whats the price of the advanced upper with the brass bushing for the wk gen 2?

[@CanadianCaliber]

Check TNA website for all the info

[@Hafmanhaffamazn]

@@CanadianCaliberas usual sold out lol. Never preorder anything from TNA, learned that lesson the long and painful way.

[@CanadianCaliber]

It may be sold out. Try emailing them about when it will be in stock

[@RobCoop]

How much is this upgrade?

[@FoShizzle1993]

The barrel nut is SO tight. Having a hard time getting it broke

[@StevelandCleamer69]

Did you end up getting it off? Any tips??

[@duanehean3364]

pardon my naiveness but why shouldn't you use red lock tite? Thanks

[@CanadianCaliber]

I think the red makes it hard to remove in general.

[@contactjrnow]

@@CanadianCaliber not just hard, but near impossible.

[@motherbeep1000]

Im trying to find the enchanced upper receiver on true north arms website and cant find idk if someone couke help me out here and send me the link to it

[@CanadianCaliber]

You may need to email them!

[@warongwar7816]

I bought mine 2 months ago from bass pro and 500 rounds later the gas piston snapped in half

[@NorthRiverGuide]

That's because as is they are ridiculously overgassed. A very reliable functioning rifle until parts break which doesn't take long. A TNA adjustable gas valve helps a bit, still is overgassed with the TNA valve shut right off but it is better than the factory valve.

[@campbell0162]

Got to make sure your gas screws on the bottom of the gas block are lock lite as well

[@CanadianRedneck70]

True Arms doesn't have any of these listed anymore. To bad.

[@CanadianCaliber]

I believe they just added more! Go check

[@CanadianRedneck70]

Ya, just after I post that, I got an email from them saying they had them back in stock. Go figure. LoL Got a bunch of other parts on order from them already. @@CanadianCaliber

[@CanadianCaliber]

Haha there ya go!

[@AlexandreLandry-lu5nl]

wish the cameraman had film were the charging handle stop lol ....

[@GodGillHarry]

can you post part numbers plz

[@CanadianCaliber]

Check out true North arms for the complete list

[@AG-en5y]

❤

[@saskabush133]

Where can a guy buy this thing

[@CanadianCaliber]

Check the true North arms website

[@operatorjeffdeathstar7759]

The whole gun is one big nightmare...Lol

[@CanadianCaliber]

With some replacing of certain parts it will run smoothly if it isn't already

[@mackio805]

As long as you do not have to use it for military purpose or for some crazy training this upgrade is useless.

[@BaconSlayer69]

Junk rifle

[@Hafmanhaffamazn]

Why does TNA have to brand their parts, it looks so shitty and they should be lowering the cost or paying us to advertise for them.

[@CanadianCaliber]

You should tell them but we personally don't mind. They are working hard to produce these upgraded parts
