WK180-c / WS-MCR what accessories should we make?

I’m running a triggertech in mine and I have to keep pushing the pins back in.

That was my thought exactly.

I would really like to put in a nice aftermarket trigger.
But generally speaking; You need to use locking pins to hold them in place.

Just run the WK pins and adjust the trigger tech to put tension up on them. Just tighten down the two small set screws on the trigger tech and you're good to go.

Done that. They still work their way out. And the bolt catch makes it so you can’t tighten one of them without removing it so it’s not on the fly between courses of fire. Be nice to just have some screws in the end of the pins so they can’t back out. I’ve got a spare set of AR pins so I can steal the screws from it and just need to drill and tap the WK pins.

The problem is those set screws starts to bite into the bottom of the receiver and become loose. I had to ditch triggertech and go to geissele for this reason. So yes I second that locking trigger pins are good idea.
 
I have a geissele in my WK180C and had to apply some picture to keep the screw from loosening. I've since show over 700 rounds and no problems.
 
Gas piston and bolt carrier made from better steel. Bolt carrier can also be improved to house better charging handle. Tennifer coating to the bolt and barrel maybe the piston? Or I am just asking too much.

You can either remove material from the bottom of the standard catch or go with the external release one. It doesn't have as much material at the bottom above the trigger. This will allow you to adjust the trigger tech with enough tension to retain the factory pins.

As other's have said, a stronger piston rod would be good. I think that part is prone to break more than most. A lot of people complain about the charging handle, but I've got the new one from Spectre and it works fine.

I'm in the process of putting a shorter barrel on mine. I bought a Maple Ridge Armory barrel and have found QC, support and communication lacking for the price. So for those interested in making a restricted range toy out of theirs, having some stock of more reasonably priced barrels would be good.

As part of the project, I bought a barrel nut wrench from you guys, and while the price was right, I had to file out the narrow part as it wasn't getting enough bite with the tapered design it came with. The nut requires a solid 30mm wrench that isn't too thick as the nut can be torqued on there pretty good.

And I've also purchased a barrel dimple jig from you, but it only will do one dimple, not two, which is unfortunate. I couldn't find a two dimple jig anywhere. The gas block on the WK180C requires two.

Finding reasonably priced MLok accessories is also a pain. I would love a BCM gunfighter short fore grip but they are nowhere to be found. It was challenging to find a Surefire scout offset mount (had to order from the US), and even finding a sling QD mount for MLox was challenging that wasn't a complete rip off.
