Big Changes:
• 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; (Standard AR-15)
• an improved gas system; and
• a bolt catch lever that comes standard.

There is nothing significantly different about the operation other than the non-reciprocating cocking handle. The non-reciprocating cocking handle means that the rifle no longer has a cocking handle slot on the right hand side of the rifle. There is also no longer a separate buttstock adaptor; the threads are machined into the lower receiver.

Important point: The WK180C and WK180C Gen 2 are cross-compatible (i.e., the upper of one can be put on the lower of the other) with one exception: the rear take down pin on the WK180C Gen 2 will not be able to be closed with the WK180C upper installed.
