Feets / Collection / My build Behold my (lost)✨️Garbage✨️

Post image

Before people start calling it a piece of shit, yeah i know but i bought it back in the days for 900$ and it served me well before losing it in a boating accident...

I bought spare piston rods just in case considering they aren't expensive and honestly, appart the gas blowing in my hand, i never had issues with it except the bulky square rear end that isn't the prettiest

It shot everything i fed it no issues, maybe i was one of the lucky ones

I wanted to share my build if someone had one and disliked the original design as much as i did, just a little wind of inspiration for other WK180-C owners

I owned a WK 180C rifle. I sold it after about 800 rounds before it was out of warranty. It worked well for me, but I personally knew too many people where the rifle experienced major failures (bolt lugs shearing, pistons disintegrating, bolt carriers cracking, etc).

I just couldn't trust it tbh. It seemed to be a matter of 'when' and not 'if' it broke. But I do still understand the appeal for an affordable rifle. I just felt that even back when we could get them, that there were more reliable options
