WS-MCR - Ongoing Impressions

My WS MCR experiences constant double feeds, FTE, and FTF when using Magpul Gen3 magazines. When gen 2 magpul magazines are inserted, I cannot even pull the charging handle back. It only works when I insert metal magazines. Does anyone have the same experience? What can I do to fix this? My rifle is the newer left side charging only model built in Sept 2020.

That is not a good experience. I have recently purchased one and have 80 rounds through it so far with not a single issue. Mags used are the metal ones that came with it, a couple metal LAR's, a couple plastic LARS, 10/10 Cross, and Magpul gen 2. The metal LAR's are a very tight fit, but other than that, not a single issue with Mags either. Mine is also the newer left side charging model.
 
I have the first gen MCR where you can place the charging handle on either side, though wish I would have waited for the second gen where the charging handle is only on the left side. Does anyone have any ideas on how I would modify my rifle to be like the 2nd gen, where the steel insert isn't see-through on the right side of the rifle?

I got tired of the constantly breaking charging handles and sold mine. I enjoyed the out-of-the-box accuracy and handling but that is just unacceptable. Why not make the handles out of a less brittle steel? The increased cost would make up for not having to replace the damn things! It is a lot of work since it always leaves nothing to grab hold of.

On the WS-MCR? I know the WK 180 had some issues with the charging handles but I've not heard about the same issue with the WS-MCR's.
 
I’m a little over 1000 rounds and mine has developed into locking back on an empty mag. Originally it never locked back. Now it’s doing so on some mags. I’ve got a mix of mags so I’ll pay more attention to which ones. Laugh2
 
Thanks for the info Brat, this definitely makes sense of the function.

Being a left hand shooter i would imagine I’d prefer it being on the right hand side for ergonomics and efficiency wouldn’t you agree?

That being said I wonder if there’s a way to switch it to the right side?

The newer ones are left side only, at least mine is...
