SSD: SIG MCX at Modern Day Marine New stock, and looks like the newer style handguard. http://soldiersystems.net/blog1/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_7738.jpg This is the exact Hand guard they were demoing and called "Suppressor capable" and the sales guy called "black mamba hand guard"... The sales people say they don't carry them, but they are on most of their demo suppressed rifles. The new stock has been popping up on several demos as well. The sales guy even tried selling me one... Even though "they aren't available". It would Just make sense to me that sales department would get at least a cheat sheet on what the Demo guys are showing off and telling folks are available. I can understand not knowing everything about every gun, but not having the lingo down, or knowing about the cool new toys they are advertising just seems like a really poor idea. I really hope they figure this out soon, and make a lot more of the accessories they have been showing off available. |

Reps not knowing the product is basically SOP across the industry, regardless of the company. Sales, marketing, product management, engineering, and testing all know each other and are buddy buddy, but so much changes so rapidly they don't really stay on it. Especially when changes happen fastest 2 days before trade shows when there's so much more going on. I've seen engineers slapping prototypes on guns at 9pm right before the case is closed and sent to SHOT. There's no way for a sales rep to know everything at that point when they open the case on the showroom floor 2 days later and the engineer isn't easily available. |

SSD: MCX spotted at MARSOC weapons layout at MDM
Kinda interesting they'd be putting a demo unit up for display.

SIG seems more interested in getting out demo units so people can "review" them and get positive vibes on the Internet than actually making them for civilians to buy. Many of the demo units have stocks, handguards, and calibers that aren't available yet. Called SIG today about accessories for the MCX. 300 BLK barrel? Nope not available yet, but can preorder for $700+. I said that seems pretty pricy for just a barrel. Apparently it's listed as a caliber conversion kit (although I don't know what you need besides the barrel). How about stocks? Well, you can preorder the telescoping stock. It's only at least 16 weeks out. Sigh, how about the polymer handguard for the 556xi? Nope, out of stock.
SIG seems to generate a bunch of hype and then fail on the execution. |

Here's the pic, from page 3 of this thread, I think:  So you'd be getting a barrel, gas block, piston and different op rod for your 700 bucks. Still spendy but jesus guys this JUST CAME OUT, man so much impatience! lol I bet every single barrel that is being churned out is going on a production gun, I know everyone is chomping at the bit for the cool toys but daggone...  (another pic from page 3, shows the diff between the 5.56 parts (lower) and the 300blk parts (upper) |

Demo units going to JSOC and SOCOM elements who are the onus for the entire project? Yeah real waste of time.  SIG was concentrating on the professional end users who's contract requirements created the entire concept of the MCX. They might just get first dibs on the products coming off the line Military/LE units usually (and should) get first dibs on production, and as we've seen the MCX is already in service.
Cabelas bought the entire first run of MCX prior to the LVAW competition completion. SIG is just now starting civilian production of the MCX. The MARSOC demo unit pictured above is an older unit too. Some of you guys are hard to please; first it's "I don't want to be a beta tester", then when SIG sends out their stuff for feedback, demo, and beta testing you complain that it's taking too long to come to market. |

I dont post much but here, needed to split the posts on my limited character count
call me the BETA tester.. this is my HORRIFYING journey with the new MCX with all things glorious I decided I wanted the "cool" rifle while I'm back from deployment. Went to my local Cabela's and seen the MCX rifle, asked how much?? it was $2100 out the door with tax. It came with the 300blk barrel installed and a spare 5.56 barrel on the side. I asked the salesman for others in stock so I figure i get the special serial number of #762 ?? wha, 300 blk 762 cmon' you get it right? Hell I even walked away with Sig Sauer branded 300blk ammo 4 boxes worth. Brought it home then went to customizing my new toy. BCM grips, Geissele trigger, Noveske Ambi selector, and a BattleComp BABC I had laying around. Went to town installing the parts being a badass that I am, I work on my own stuff unless it requires machining. Since the barrel is tappered I went to a local smith and had them cut the BABC to match the taper of the barrel shown in the pics attached. Ya this thing is unbelievably light and featured the newest "gas piston" which doesn't need switching for unsuppressed and suppressed firing. The following day I planned to zero/check zero of the new MCX. Rangetime: All those parts installed, new rifle only factory test fired. Loaded a PMAG with the Sig 300blk ammo. ?? IRONS who needs magnified optics right? BANG... ALRIGHT first one went off without a hitch. BANG... Im starting to like this rifle for balance and low recoil.. CLICK... now wtf. A brand new rifle f* already just my luck.. Alright time to clear and make the firearm safe. I dump the magazine but the BCG is stuck forward with the bolt still in feed ramp area. GREAT EITHER GOT A SQUIB OR A LIVE ROUND STUCK. RANGE DAY OVER ??. 2 shots and I packed my things up very very pissed off ?? |

continued****
Went to my local Smith told them my story and warned them I wasn't sure about what could be stuck. They took it to the back and removed the "bullet" that was stuck in the barrel told me it was a squib. I asked for the cartridge assembly removed for evidence, paid my removal fees and went home to call SIG CS.. I explained my whole situation and Sig CS sent me a label, shipped out the rifle with all the parts barrel, magazine, etc. the following day. This is where it gets AMAZING... ya everyone says CS is great. I got picked to head back out to the sandbox again so I have a rifle at Sigs "Custom shop" getting repairs and told it will take 4-6 weeks for repairs. Cool it will be the house in no time. Rifle arrived to NH Sig factory 5/13/15... 1 month passed I emailed my CS rep no updates.. 2 months 8 WEEKS, nothing I called 3 different times to the shop with still no update.. OK NO BIGGIE, not like I got to play with my new banger when I first got it anyways... 3 MONTHS 12 weeks in come along finally an update AFTER I CALL IN AGITATED, here is my response via email "we are in the process of changing the gas block to a new design." ALRIGHT GONNA GET MY RIFLE IN 4-6 WEEKS cause that's what was quoted for the 300blk upper the 556 barrel is ready to go... NOPE WEEK 14 I GET A EMAIL THE WHOLE RIFLE IS BEING REPLACED. now where the hell did it go from we are changing the upper to now I'm getting a completely new rifle. shet I already invested alot of time waiting for this POS, screw it Ill see how the new MCX holds up. BETA TEST 2.0 HERE WE GO |

Last part of the post****
I been really patient with this whole CS and Custom shop but to me 3 months is a damn long time. Its a production gun not no "one off rifle" When I do get the new rifle shipped I'll have it test/checked cause I'm not home to enjoy the new paperweight EVERYONE SAID WAS GONNA BE THE GAME CHANGER AT SHOT SHOW FOR MODULARITY. pictures attached is of the squib, bolt stuck in the forward position and the parts I installed. Look at a previous post for the lower pic. Another update will be written once the new rifle gets in and my brother takes it out to make sure it works FOR REAL THIS TIME SIG DON'T LET ME DOWN ?? .. Don't call me a Sig hater ain't no one got time for that drama on this forum. I ???? Sig Sauer and have multiple Sigs both handguns and rifles. So no keyboard commando's be HATING ON THE TRUTH. Pics/emails don't lie homie ??. For whoever sends their MCX on "warranty repairs" YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED HAHAHAHA pics http://www.imagebam.com/image/5772a2437563889 http://www.imagebam.com/image/effa80437564025 http://www.imagebam.com/image/083e4a437563825 |

At least they are replacing it free of charge correct? It is a brand new design and they are just getting production started so I would cut them a little slack although your wait does sound excessive.
Edit- Missed the part where you said it was Sig ammo. |

rajahdat.
First, calm down and type like a professional. Your posts are painful to read. Second, I get your frustration, but a squib has absolutely nothing to do with the rifle. It has everything to do with a poorly loaded round (primer with no powder). The reason they had to replace the rifle probably is because of the possible damage that bad round did to the gun. Having been there, they don't want to send you back a possibly damaged gun they only replaced one part on. The Cabelas gun is no longer current production, and the production line probably isn't making your rifle at this point. You'll get your working rifle and it will be the newer version. I'd be more pissed at SIG ammunition for this debacle. It's not a rifle problem, it's an ammunition line problem compounded by production/supply problems. I'm not sure SIG ammo would be my first choice at this point in their existence. 
I hope that makes sense and you get your new gun soon. I'm sure you'll like it, but I'd find a new brand of ammunition. |

SSD: London MET MCX
Apparently London Metro has adopted to replace their G36 with the MCX. We saw the pictures of the CT guys with them, but I guess it will be an agency-wide adoption as their G36s are pushed to other agencies. This is the first announced (with organization name attached) contract for the MCX and it's replacing an HK.

(I posted this vid in the "AR Piston Systems" forum last week, but someone suggested I should cross-post it here as well.)
Hello everyone! I was lucky enough to get my hands on only 1 of 2 of these Sig MCX rifles here in Canada. I was loaned the rifle for a few days by the Canadian Sig distributor, MD Charlton (based near Toronto). For my fellow Canucks on this forum, MD Charlton is expecting their first shipment of the MCX well before the end of the year. I know I named some parts incorrectly, entirely my fault (I didn't have access to a manual, much less an armorers manual). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_1ccK-4JNo Thanks! Battle Beaver (Scott) |

Reason being is that I saw one on FB with an AOR1 jacket behind it. Could point to the fact it is an NSW rifle. That is a Marine Corps Desert Combat Jacket Quoted:

Hey Guys - just wanted to share this with you. This is first run of my SIG MCX running Remington 300blk 220gr Subs. Excuse the cell phone video, but it was what I had at the time! The suppressor is a Silencerco Omega. I can give more detailed listing of the parts that I've upgraded if anyone is interested. So glad I found this thread on ARFCOM!

https://youtu.be/fLcYMXhg5YM https://youtu.be/XpUkzoO_PJ0 Awesome! Thanks for the post, now for the questions! 1. Your running an omega, looks like your using the QD, if so what mount? I called SiCo about using their mount with the tapered barrel and they said wait for the taper adapter from sig. Can you please tell me how the install and if you had any issues. 2. How did you get that setup? Is that the 9" barrel? Thanks again! |

I'm using the Silencerco .30 flash hider with the ASR QD mount. I apologize but my memory is a bit fuzzy on whether or not I ended up installing the taper adapter or not - I remember calling Sig and asking for one, since it wasn't included with my "pistol" when I bought it from Cabelas - but I can't remember if I actually needed it or not. I may have tightened/red loctited it directly to the tapered barrel since the flash hider doesn't need to be timed like the muzzle brake, and it bottomed out flush just fine. On the 5.56 barrel I didn't do anything yet since I found out the Omega is not rated for a 9" barrel. I may sell my 9" barrel and get a 11.5" (once they become available)so I don't void my warranty from Silencerco. When they first came out at Cabelas - I called around to the stores that were closest to me until I found the "pistol" with the Sig Brace and two barrels. Had them hold it for me, and drove down to get it. I form 1 the lower and took the Arm Brace out of the folding stock knuckle since it accepts a standard AR tube and put a BCM collapsible stock on it. I've done one carbine class with it and ran it hard using 5.56 and it ran flawlessly. Here are some of the upgrades that I've done so far: Geissle 3GS trigger Magpul+ Rubber pistol grip BCM Stock BCM KAG BCM Keymod Covers Phase 5 bad lever - Yes it does fit perfectly, but it renders your AMBI mag catch almost unusable due to it's location. Though I was willing to make this trade-off since I've grown too used to being able to lock the bolt back with weak hand and leave primary on fire control during firing/loading/unloading. |

https://youtu.be/fLcYMXhg5YM https://youtu.be/XpUkzoO_PJ0 Thank you for posting those. How was the gas blow back to your face / eyes when shooting? Better / same / worse than a traditional suppressed AR15? The first shooter in the first video without eye protection looked like he was slightly uncomfortable and had some debris in his eyes near the end. |

That seems to vary per person - I have to wear glasses all the time anyways, so I'm less affected than most. The short answer is there was some blowback but it was definitely the best suppressed gun I've shot as far as blowback goes. A few days earlier we shot a AAC MPW 300blk with the Omega (traditional DI gas system) that had TONS of gas blowback, it literally felt like ammonia going into your eyes, especially if you were stupid enough not to wear eyepro. Adding a PRI gas buster charging handle helped mitigate blowback to a certain degree, but not much. In one of my other videos I fired the Omega on an LMT CQB MRP piston upper. There was some blowback, not as bad as the AAC MPW, but not quite as good as the MCX. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fJuVbLEZO0 Ugh! I tried to embed the youtube video like the cooler guys on this forum but I apparently didn't do it right! |

Any other pros and cons that you have seen with your MCX so far? Have you seen the MPX review/comparison on the Military Arms Channel? Scorpion EVO vs Sig MPX - Which would I choose? He really, really goes on about the gas blow back he experienced shooting the weapon. While that is the MPX and you have the MCX, I am glad you are not experiencing the same gas issues. |
