It's worth comparing the weight of the last AR you shot with the weight of this rifle when comparing recoil.

It's worth comparing the weight of the last AR you shot with the weight of this rifle when comparing recoil.
They are nothing alike in terms of recoil as they're completely different guns. Between an 18-20" 5.56 AR and a WS-MCR 18.7" medium profile barrel, the MCR shoots much flatter and with way less recoil.
The rifle definitely recoils very differently to an AR - one of the reasons I enjoy it enough to build an SBR with a medium profile barrel out of a WK as well. It's much flatter of a gun in terms of recoil and it naturally has way less "climb" and is far less "snappy". I'm finding it much easier to get tight followup shots with the MCR over my ARs regardless of length and weight of AR (comparing 10.5" and 18.6" barrels in 5.56 for my own experience)
Glad you're enjoying it. Best NR semi-auto rifle that's not a bullpup for under 2k in 5.56 we can legally buy now in my opinion.
well.....I bought one. I like this New style folder stock much better then that Tube thing.
zero rounds down the pipe. I will say its got an excellent trigger !! Light , positive and Crisp.
gotta look it over and shoot it. then I will have something to say LOL

Considering that the side panels are separate and hence "modular" (to an extent) it would be cool to see Wolverine/Spectre develop a different panel for the charging handle side that integrated a kind of "ejection port cover" but for the pat the charging handle rides in. Or even offer the option of right side charging with an ejection port cover like the AR-18/180. I'd rather right side charging and a sealed up receiver over the improved ergos of left side charging (that can be mitigated with the addition of a bolt release).
I've got 400 rounds through mine so far and it's running great (provided you don't use pmags).

I have the newest model with the folder and I tried the metal mag that it came with,..and you simply Cant push it in to far.....maybe they fixed the issue ??
It stops Solid.
hey...were did you get that cool "grip on the for end" ???
would like one for mine. who makes it ?
I would totally agree with you.
I handled both at the gun shop.
once you see and handle them side by side......you defiantly feel the difference in Quality . Night and day.
one is wiggly and cheap feeling,..the other is tight and Robust
I do NOT have the "roll pin" They must have Up Dated to the Cotter Pin.
I'm happy
after reading all these post on the issues,....I really like ALL the changes they made to the NEW model
I'm glad I waited
Final thoughts......well I could have bought a Keltec Su-16 for slightly less... " a plastic hand grenade" IMHO
I bought this rifle after hearing all the issues.....so if it falls apart....I'm to blame for buying it, and you wont hear me whining about it..LOL bet ya my sks out runs it.

The newer manufacture ones all seem to have an AR cotter pin instead of the roll pin as the firing pin retainer. 500 rds on mine and no issues yet.
If I go in to this "not liking the gun"...it will run like a champ......
It seems the guns I love...really let me down...lol
got some LAR mags coming.I'll dump a wack of rounds through it and see if it holds together.
Didnt buy it for precision shooting....... more like,,,,accuracy through volume, LOL
Run her wet & feed her hard !
If it flys apart...I have a great story for the grand kids when they come over.

There's no reason to believe that this gun is unreliable. The majority of its owners are happy with the reliability from what I've experienced (provided the castle nut is staked and the firing pin retaining pin is replaced - which it has been on the newer ones).
Go dump some mags and have fun, but also as far as precision shooting goes, this thing is a hell of a lot more accurate than a factory cheap mass-produced AR like an M&P Sport 2, Ruger 5.56, DPMS etc etc etc.
It's a medium profile 18.7" barrel on a solid chassis - go have fun with "precision" or mag dumps.
As Simonov always says - "rifle is fine, comrade"
They work for me without any issue at all!
