Great. Thank you. It is a great gun. I kinda want to wait to see how the court case goes before I jump in.

NP. I plan on buying the pistol version as soon as it is released and then hopefully the carbine that I can register for the suppressor tube . Lets hope Sig comes out victorious on this one.

Some new photos in The Truth About Guns blog. Articles coming soon. Looks like a press event at Sig Academy. Link I like the MBUS Pro and Aimpoint on it. http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz267/edmateo50/1397785483_zps6cdb79ec.jpg Also a Video on the Sig MCX. Glad to see they are using better accessory hardware. I wonder if that has anything to do with Kevin from AAC joining them. Always thought it didn't look good when an otherwise nice rifle has a cheap optic mounted to it. ETA:

Nice slow mo of the MPX firing. I'm surprised the mag wobbles so much.

I agree. But for the price one of these is going to go for, I could use the money I would make from selling it to some fanboy to offset dome of the cost if it is coming with the gun anyway.

I too would like to have seen a different charging handle setup. It's not a deal-breaker for me at all, but I would rather have a side charging handle - more along the line of a MP5

The MPX/MCX have the AR manual of arms because 99.99% of professional users are trained on M4s and other AR platforms. It was a technical decision made by the serious end users that work in the developmental group that designed the weapons. |

Why is everyone so into the side charging handle? Most people that have real world experience with like say the MP5 don't like the side charging handle as it gets hung up in gear. There is a reason that most HK weapons as of late and after the MP5, HK91/93, etc don't have side charging handles anymore.

I dont love HK charging handles(or most folding handles for that matter) but love the FAL left side chargers. Like I said earlier it is easier for me to manipulate a side charger especially when shouldered. |

MPX needs a better stock for the stocked versions, in the worst way. That telescoping stock is horrible. Overall I was underwhelmed.
I also can't fathom why they can't just make a 16" barrel instead of the massive "muzzle break" version and get a Title I carbine onto the market. Although no one would buy it at the price they're going to want for them. |

While I would love for it to be cheaper being that SIg sells everything they make rather easily I imagine a brand new carbine will do just fine. I do agree that a normal 16" barrel would be easy. |

The telescoping stock is a little harder to open and close than the side folder. If I could have an SBR, I would go side folder if the length of pull felt good.

I don't think it is for the ability to easily convert to full auto, then all the thousands of AR's out there would be in the same catagory. Hope it is just bad info. |

If I were sig and I had confidence in my case against the ATF, I would stop with my plan B and go back to my plan A in preparation for winning the case. I would not tool up for a pistol when no one will buy it and everyone will want the Rifle with the funky muzzle brake. At least that is how I am thinking about my purchase and how I would act if I were sig, which I am obviously not. Maybe it is as inacquious as that.

Used to be you might get a little teaser but companies never used to put pre production stuff up so early. These threads are a perfect example. At least half a dozen threads with nothing but speculation. I just wait till I start seeing them on gunbroker and go from there |
