Coregon where can I find that stock adapter? View Quote I'd already looked at the webstore as soon as I saw your picture and it's not there. My local dealers are generally behind and usually telling them about new products rather than vice verse. If I have to I'll just wait till NRA and beat up the Sig personnel in person. |

Saw this from shot show coverage. I hope it is compatible with the x39 MCX upper. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/01/21/shot-2016-billet-rifle-systems/

Navy SMU still have HK416's and the latest one to be exact which is the A5 so I would say no? Just a guess The LVAW was specifically for a suppressed short barreled .300. So at this point, I'd guess for their 5.56 guns their still running M4A1s and HK416s. I have no idea what JSOC units are using, and I'd guess anyone's most recent legit info is probably at best 6 months to a year old. But as the MCX was adopted as the LVAW, and the M4/HK416 were touted as an advantage I would be surprised if there wasn't 5.56 in limited use right now already. But that would be as "in use" as the ACR pictures that surfaced from Afghanistan a few years back. I do know there was A LOT of interest from SOF, JSOC, OGAs, and TLE units (US and international); the same types of organizations that have used HK416. But I don't have any direct specific information. If I was to hazard a guess, the London CT team is the first public showing of the MCX in use and it won't be the last. |

I'm still sorting through all the Shot Show news, but the Palmetto KS-47 lower may be the ticket since it sets the mag lower and is supposedly compatible with any mil-spec AR upper: YouTube I'm still dreaming of an MCX in x39 that takes AK mags. Is it just a dream? Maybe. EDIT: I should say, they claim "any 7.62x39" upper... For whatever that's worth. |

So... no news at SHOT regarding the pistol versions? Want to get a SBR started before 41P.

Well civilians want these things and so do LE. They don't seem to care which makes me want to sell my 16inch I purchased a few months back. This is also the reason places are going to glock and S&W instead of sig. Oh I don't know the navy?

This is also the reason places are going to glock and S&W instead of sig. Oh I don't know the navy? View Quote Places are going to polymer striker guns because they're cheaper than the Sig. That's why Sig built the P320 and it's becoming popular. But it's also been less than 2 years since it debuted and the M&P and Glock have had decades of lead time. The Classic Series Sigs are still one of the most widely used service pistols in the country. If you followed the discussion on NSW swapping to the G19, it's because of a few factors. They actually highly like the MK25, but they are the last SOCOM element not to go to the G19 (the rest were using M9s and 1911s) and they wanted to consolidate 2 handguns to 1. Reportedly they can get ~2 G19s for the cost of 1 Sig. Lastly, the MCX has been out for a little over a year. In this time they've gotten major contracts to support and they're selling every 16" they build. Adding more SKUs before production slows on the products they're already building is foolish. I get everyone wants every possible option available ASAP like with an AR, but it's unrealistic. Hopefully they add the short barrel options soon, but I completely understand why they don't. Trust me, they care. As mismanaged as SIG often is, there are 3 products they see as their future: MCX, MPX, and the P320. Which is why the XI dwindled on the vine (they probably should have killed off the XI before release), the 516 never got the upgrades it needed (I wanted a lightweight gasblock), and many projects for the classic series (that you never heard of) never developed. Most comes down to proper allocation of finite production resources. I want a 10-11" MCX like you wouldn't believe, but I kinda get why it's not out quite yet. |

Okay I have been waiting, and I have been searching... But I can't find any info on other barrels / kits. I was interested in getting a 556 kit in around a 12" or maybe cutting down a 16" barrel group. I have a 9" pistol package from Cabelas came with 556 & 300blk. But the 556 is to short for my cans. A guy made me an offer for the 556 9" barrel kit. I have never shot the thing and have no interest, but have no clue what it's worth. What is the value of this kit (barrel and piston assembly) and / or will I be kicking myself in a couple months because these things are vapor ware?
Thanks for any help FA PS, LOVE my MCX in 300BLK is stupid fun suppressed |

I have a 16" 5.56 MCX and want to mount my suppressor that uses a Gemtech Bilock mount.
I think the mount needs to snug up to the shoulder of the barrel threads. So with the tapered barrel on the MCX, how can I make this work? What problems would arise with the gas system if I cut this barrel short - after form 1'ing it as a SBR - rather than buying a replacement short barrel with the piston included? Thanks |

From what I have read the places doing it hasnt had any problems chopping them.
As for handguards I am not sure that is why I asked. All the list I found says is lengths. |

Can the gas-block / piston be removed from the MCX barrel easily? Its looks like taper pins holding it on there. cutting/ re-threading is simpler (and cheaper) with a fully stripped barrel.
An MPX breakdown shows yes: MPX break down |

I didn't fire it since I didn't have the stock adapter and didn't feel like eating the buffer springs (with my luck) but I did a functions test and it wouldn't trip the sear. I'm sending the paperwork out to sbr my pistol on Tuesday. |

I was actually asking if they were slated to be released any time soon Yes - you'll see the pistols released for sale before the individual components and complete uppers are released - SBRs will start form'ing at that point, but pistols will be the first things to ship I've been waiting for the 300blk pistol before jumping on board. Did they announce any specifics to the release date at SHOT? Late Q1/Q2. They're coming soon. Don't believe any of this effen BS. Do you REALLY want to know when the accessories will be available for the MCX? I'll tell you: "The 5th of Nevuary" I've been dealing with Sig's "Q3, CY15, oh wait now it's Q4 CY16" BS since April 2015. What's worse, they took my upper in to put the new gas block on and let it sit there for 5 weeks. I had a lot of hope for this platform. It would've been great to see it incorporated into SOPMOD. But because I can't even get them to get me an effen 11.5" barrel and AR Lower Adapter so my armor can mount it on my M4, here's what I'm going to do in March when we have our training package at Quantico, Ft A.P. Hill and FLETC. I'm gonna haul this POS in its unfired state out to the range and let it sit there with print outs of all the emails from Sig and their BS timelines. I'm going to tell everyone how they let it sit in their shop for 5 weeks to just Dremil a bigger hole in the hand guards. Until such point that they (Sig) can demonstrate that they can actually support a platform, eff them and their effen ACR 2.0 POS. I will make it my mission in life to dissuade any aganecy (Federal, State, Local & Foreign) or individual from purchasing this platform until such time Sig can demonstrate that they have a handle on not only configuration management but mitigating DMSMS issues as well. |

"We don't have a SKU yet and the adapters will only be shipping with the upper kits" So, will you be able to shoot your upper on your department's lower? Yeah, but only if you buy a whole sig upper kit. And who knows when that'll happen lol |

Question about conversion kits.
Will there be a "pistol" upper conversion kit for those of us with registered SBR AR lowers? |

Question about conversion kits. Will there be a "pistol" upper conversion kit for those of us with registered SBR AR lowers? View Quote From the way Sig has communicated it, the conversation kits will be rifle length with the emphasis being placed on the .300BLK, followed by the 5.56. If you want a short barrel, better get an order in for a barrel now ($599). Oh, and the conversation kits are supposed to coming out near the end of 2017. |
