WS-MCR - first look, just arrived.

[trigger'06]

Hey Guys, saw a few posts about replacing the buffer tube in the MCR. Is that a must? What would I gain with a different buffer tube? Pretty new to this.

From what Mike was telling me about his friend's new MCR, it came with a perfectly good Mil-spec buffer tube and an ill fitting(grey market?) magpul stock.

Handguard was also different, a nice 15" keymod type.

An aftermarket trigger fit nicely but he hasn't range tested it yet.

I have the 556 and want the 7.62 by 39 version for surplus ammo reasons. When will these rfiles be made and be shipped out to firearms stores? and will these rifles accept ak mags?

 

[Gatehouse]

Anybody got a large number of rounds through theirs yet? Like 5000 round count?

Does anyone know what the WS-MCR Buffer Shim that Wolverine sells are for? I've got an MCR in .224 and the new 7.62 upper and neither came with such a shim. How do you know if you need one? https://www.wolverinesupplies.com/ProductDetail/SLD1762122

As near as I can tell they are only to remove any slop between the upper and lower receiver, or are they to cushion the lower from the impact of the bolt?

I have an mcr and my firing pin retaining pin has broke 3 time the first stoke pin broke after 200 rounds

I have 3000 rds through mine, seems like a pretty decent rifle, I would suggest replacing the firing pin retaining pin with an ar-15 style one and checking/replacing it often if you need your rifle to be reliable.

I replaced my firing pin retaining before I ever fired it, great advice from this group. I had the WS-MCR out yesterday for the first time and pushed ~150 rounds of AA 55g down it. Never had any issues with it except a double feed that I caused on the very second mag change, after that, no problems at all. I was using the two metal mags that came with it and two Cross LAR 10 round mags. All fed and performed perfectly. I am pretty impressed with how accurate it is, even out to nearly 280 yards I was able to hit a plate sized metal target consistently and to the point where it got almost boring. I'd be very interested to see how others have found their WS-MCR's accuracy to be.

Where did you pick up the replacement firing pin? Just would like to know what brand fits on this rifle. I know it should standard AR style but you know how it is..

I didn't replace the firing pin, just the little retaining pin that holds it in the bolt. I get my stuff from True North Arms, a lot of things that fit on the WK 180 will fit on the WS-MCR. They're very quick at processing orders and shipping. I also just ordered an external bolt catch release from them as well, I believe it's the Kodiak version meant for the WK-180 but have read in a few places that it will fit the WS-MCR perfectly.

Still waiting for mine to arrive
1.5-2 moa ive heard
I'm gonna use Varget because I have some and use it for 7mm-08 also
I bought a bunch of bulk Campro 55 grain bullets.
I am not sure how it will shoot yet will have to wait and see.
Not like I'm staring out the window looking for the delivery man. Ok I am. Haha

 

[RobbieLaidlaw]

The gas piston looks better than the WK's. Let's hope there will be more parts out there for these types of rifles for us to buy.

 

[Recce21]

Friend just went out shooting with his and said it refused to feed with even the slightest pressure on the magazine and he had a stoppage so bad he had to mortar the rifle and his cheap ass MFT stock snapped.

I become less and less impressed as the days go on

 

[Elkslayer45]

77gr SMK OTM
24.0 gr RL15
CCI 41 primers
Shoots well for me but is not overly temp stable, I have also shot these with Varget and it shoots as well although I have not finalized a load, but in my experience the 77gr OTM slays.

 

[Sk-outdoors]

Anyone have any advice on which mags the 7.62's like best?? Jumping in soon here...

 

[Venguer]

Nice rifle

 

[v33]

Thinking about one of these in 7.62x39. Has the overall reliability improved since release? What is a good source for a replacement retaining pin?

The newer ones come with an AR-style split pin.

 

[Richard35]

Any available? They appear to be sold out everywhere.
