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?


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:

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.

As I mentioned in another thread I've now been waiting over a month for a firing pin for my mpx and a screw for the mcx.
It does give me pause when it takes this long to get small parts that should be available for warranty claims.

I see your point, I like it when parts are readily available as well. But then again after all us firearms owners have been though in the last eight years, I want to keep the most critical parts on hand you never know if one day something will change legally and they won't be avail. Anyone that owns a standard AR IMO should have a spare bolt, firing pins, cam pins, retainer pins, gas rings, extractors on hand, and the SIG is no different.  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 think maybe you missed my point. The two parts I needed are proprietary, when I tried to get them they did not have them on hand.
Not because there is a rush on firearms but because the company chose to allot all parts to making new gun and not to stock items for warranty repair.

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.

I have had a 6.5" 300 Cal-X kit on order since March.... and a fat suppressor handguard since March.     Last time I called, some handguards were shipping, in theory.  So I thought my order would be one of the "Early" ones, but Sig guy said March was more like middle, not early.   Neither has shipped so far.

Point being, since none are shipping yet, and you dont sound like you have one on order, even when they start shipping there is going to be a Huge backlog before they will be "in stock".   So honestly, a year sounds safe to me.   I hope I am wrong.... but...  Sig

Why are they selling complete uppers when all you need is a barrel?  

Either an egregious cash grab or the kits only include barrel/bolt parts.

Edit: and are they shipping these or just taking orders?  Sig has been taking people's money since day one with no product to fulfill the requests.

I needed a complete upper because I found an mcx lower on gunbroker and sbrd it before 41f. The guy I spoke with from sig said the black uppers were getting ready to ship very soon. Fde uppers are looking at Q1 to ship.

Got it.  So in true Sig fashion they are doing the cash-grab first and leaving early adopters out in the cold.

I was also thinking do you think it's possible with all the standard AR lower firing it could have something to do with the failure?

That's your decision and it's unfortunate. I do believe that SIG will come out with a lot for the MCX this year as well as some of the aftermarket companies. Having had a Robinson XCR for years, I can certainly understand your frustration. I actually ended up selling mine after years of no support behind it. I don't think the MCX will suffer the same fate.

See, this is their problem. I'm fairly new to the Sig world but from what I understand this is a pattern. 
My problem is simply getting warranty parts. My MCX had been down since October 3rd. 

I'm going to give them till the end of this week for my part to arrive. If it doesn't I plan to cancel my form 1 and sell the rifle once the part gets here.

I understand and am sympathetic to the spare parts deal. But in SIG's defense the industry has been crazy upside down. Now maybe things will settle down a bit and we'll see some parts and stuff.

Give it six months maybe.

I understand and am sympathetic to the spare parts deal. But in SIG's defense the industry has been crazy upside down. Now maybe things will settle down a bit and we'll see some parts and stuff.

Give it six months maybe.

Yeah, now that the Hillary scare is over, demand for complete rifles is way down.

Now they can focus on parts and accessories.

Hopefully we'll see this across the various markets.  22LR ammo is still stoopid expensive and hard to find.

I needed a complete upper because I found an mcx lower on gunbroker and sbrd it before 41f. The guy I spoke with from sig said the black uppers were getting ready to ship very soon. Fde uppers are looking at Q1 to ship.

I did the same thing; I'm starting to wish I had just sucked it up and bought an cz 805 pistol before 41f hit

This should get interesting soon.  Carrier exchange program.

What's the real scoop on the .300 BO discharge only?

Edit what's the deal in call customer service if you have installed an aftermarket trigger???

My guess is slam fires from dropping a round in the chamber and then dropping the bolt. Also I bet some aftermarket hammers won't release the new firing pin block.

I've had zero issues with 5.56 or .300. I bet someone who didn't size brass properly had issues.

Stated 5k minimum service for springs but engineers going over 10k without issue. "Just hose it off with a cleaner and lube"

Sig has mad my MCX 4 weeks now since the rifle would not group.  Just heard from customer service today saying the action in the rifle was being replaced.  Said hope to have it done after Christmas.  Looking forward to getting it back.

Anyone heard anything on the release date on the 300blk conversions?  Looking for the 9.5" setup once the form 1 gets back.

I was on the phone with them again today and asked about the caliber conversion kits. He said that when this carrier exchange was done they should be released. 
He made it sound as they were holding them back while working on this problem. 
How true that is? Don't know. But it does make some sense.
