The wk180c any good? Been saving up for a bit and just wondering if this gun is any good compared to other semi auto rifles around this price

Get gen2 if you decide to, but they are hit or miss… you either get one that is flawless or one that falls apart. Kodiak is good though for warranty stuff

I second that "flawless or falls apart". I have a late gen 1; only issue it's ever had is the nylon bushing shattering in -20 weather. I've heard many other stories of rifles that fell apart real quick. Guess I got lucky

Id recommend either gen 2 or late gen 1, though I'm not sure how you'd confirm if it's late gen 1 or not. Might recommend waiting a bit on the gen 2 if you have time so they can iron out the kinks

If you like taking apart rifles and fixing stuff it’s affordable and will take most AR accessories. There is a strong following and it is Canadian made. There is a 180c group on FB if you want more opinions.
There’s lovers and haters. The MCR is also nice.

Don't forget about the Steriling Arms R18 apparently they're not bad (2.7k) or the CZ Bren 2 (3.3k) both are cheaper or the same as a Tavor if you like more conventional firearm layouts
