I've got 3 WS-MCR's and this one has about 5000 rounds through it. In 40 rounds I got 2 light strikes where the primer didn't ignite. I was using Federal bulk box ammo and this is not entirely uncommon as the primers are pretty hard. They won't always ignite in a bolt action and I've seen them not ignite in AR15 too.
So I didn't think too much of it until it started to constantly fail to ignite.
It had 1000 rounds since it's last cleaning so took it apart and was continue to be impressed by how clean it was compared to an AR.
Firing pin had broken. I ordered some extras from TNA
Of the 3 MCR rifles I have (A 7000 rounds, B 5000 rounds -pin broke and C 2000 rounds) only problems I've had is the firing pin and C the newest one was a bit of a biatch for the first 500 rounds as it didn't want to go fully into battery for the first shot. It seems"broken in " now. C also has a different colour upper vs lower (upper looks more grey) I don't actually care about different colour schit but I thought it was worth noting.
The only other thing of note is that all of them don't have staked buffer tubes so all of them start to spin out. While this is simple to fix by either staking it yourself or some locktite or even nail polish, that should be done as the final job at the factory. A whack with a hammer and punch or a squish of loctite can't add too much to the cost
