You know, I never noticed the MCX one was plastic. But I can answer that question. Yes they will swap. I have plastic in the MPX and aluminum in the MCX right now. They assemble and function check fine. No live fire yet. ETA: I did notice, when properly assembled with springs in place, I could not push the rod out of the clip. But when purposefully assembled wrong, where the rod is sitting in the clip, but the end not in the slot, not only will can you pull the rod from the clip, but it takes the spring with it! That must be the issue in the vid. Sad that so many are getting bad info. I started to look at the youtube comments, I could only read about 2 before my head started to hurt. The shapes are a little different, Pics: http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q609/travis_jennings1/5882C179-F83D-4699-812F-1BDDF1B6C131_zpspyk1hspj.jpg http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q609/travis_jennings1/0032FCEE-1103-4D33-A1A6-B3D970C29C8D_zpsi8qmn0a3.jpg http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q609/travis_jennings1/F01D37D5-C491-48D1-8158-69A1CD91D747_zpswbbb0i4x.jpg View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Dsully since you have an MPX and MCX, can you tell us if the metal recoil spring clip on the MPX can be used to replace the plastic clip on the MCX? Anybody else know if this is possible?

Sad that so many are getting bad info. View Quote Yes it is. An otherwise awsome gun gets dinged over what looks to be improper reassembly, shame. This however did prompt me to call Sig to order some items in efforts to get the MCX on a preventive maintenance schedule. Recoil springs come as a set 2/$20 and are backordered, due to the video I wonder, as Sig doesn't have prices for the plastic retainer, or charging handle they will be creating them and should be emailing me with that info. They did say that sometime in the near future they will make a parts kit and bolts avail. Also they recommended against using the mpx metal retainer. |

A couple spare plastic retainers would be worth while. While I had the gun apart, I did look a little more. there is no front stop for the recoil rods, so IF you did not assemble them correctly in the clip, they can go froward, past the clip pocket. From there there is only one place to go: towards eachother. But that shows the real final cause. If the rod slips and is bouncing out of the receiver channel, and move towards the centerline, Thats the path of the bolt carrier travel. And a if the rod, and spring is in the way, the bolt carrier tower will make spaghetti out of your spring. That is my best guess at the full method to reproduce the failure in the infamous video. |

Have to say, after having my MCX, I'm getting out of this game. It was awesome, but I just want to go back to ARs I can actually get parts for... :(

No parts? I just ordered some parts as spares from SIG, even posted about it four posts up. If you don't see a part sold online just give SIG a call they'll sell it to you if its in stock and if not I think they take backorders.

I get it, I just really want to build more than anything, fill in holes in my collection, actually do upgrades to my existing collection.

Those parts should be being bought as soon as the firearms is purchased before they are needed, so if there's a wait on the items it still sucks but it doesn't mean my guns down in the meantime. Not trying to be a prick here, just sayin. Hope you get your parts soon! |

I agree but my point was they are not available. View Quote Which is why I perfer to order wear items right away after purchasing the firearm before things have a chance to go wrong. Sig will take back orders. After the last eight years it'd make me nervous to have $1, 600 invested in a firearm, knowing that firing pins are wear items, that the firearm used proprietary firing pins, and be going out shooting the gun and not at least have some on backorder. Having to wait isn't so much an issue if wear items are ordered before they're needed. |
