UPDATE!
Called Wilson. They had me ship this back. That was over 3 weeks ago. Still no update. I email them from time to time and they just keep telling me they don't have any news.
Super disappointing to buy a $4,000 rifle that doesn't cycle and to deal with this. Yet, I'm still shopping for more Wilson's as we speak.

Not trying to hijack your thread but had a similar experience, which I related above, and I am definitely looking forward to your experience, which thanks for sharing it!
I've heard a bunch of similar problems with Wilson Combat, and the bolt not locking to the rear. The most complaints I had seen were in response to the Gas Port being drilled to undersized proportions or specifically for their Gas Block, and or for suppressed use. Pretty sure that is your barrel that is having issues, but not sure, had a similar issue myself.
I tried posting in the forum no response though. Probably give them a call myself soon. Had a similar issue with my 11.3 6.8 SPC Barrel, would not lock to the rear, and I used both a Piston, and DI gas system. Had better luck with the Piston system but it would not lock to the rear. Was trying to build a 6.8 Piston setup, thinking that Wilson Combat was the way to go, they really do make awesome products, but the Barrel I got had a really undersized gas port, which I believe they made solely to be suppressed. But I want to run it unsuppressed first, before dropping money on a Suppressor. Going to give them a call after I pick up my new Virtus next month to hold me over on my desire for a piston rifle, and see what they can do, just wish Sig would do a 6.8 SPC.
Hoping within that time, they will respond to my Post in their industry forum. By no means am I knocking them, I think they make great products, and own a bunch myself. Not a big deal, not even asking them to replace the barrel, just wondering how easy it would be to open up the hole, and to what size, if that is the issue. Anyways good luck, hope everything works out, let me know how your experience goes. I keep hearing their customer service is awesome, so have a little faith. Also It may take awhile with everything going on which is kind of understandable. Good Luck Brother!
