Mini 4 is 1.5" and that rail is less than 1.5". Can won't fit under it Not to drift from the MCX discussion too much but how do you like the Mini4? |

Here are a few cellphone pics of the conversion kit.
Note the sliding bar that works as a full-auto trip.

Has anyone tried to see if a RDIAS will fit in the MPX lower? |

As DSully said, this is a factory installed sear actuator. It is help in by two pins and should be fairly easy to remove for repairs/maintenance or remove per department policy or whatever. Will it be available for civilians? Good question. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Just took the new MCX 556 to the range today for the first time. First magazine at 25 yards testing the gun from the table put a group together you could fit under a quarter. Second mag everything went to hell. Couldn't make a group come together at all, gun was all over the place 4-6" at 25 yards. Tired xm193 m855 American eagle 223 nothing would group. Pulled the hand guard thinking the barrel must be loose, no luck. Removed the optic and went to irons, same results, had another shooter try, same results. Grabbed my MPX to see if I had just lost my mind and stacked 15 rounds in a 1" group. Before I get it home and take the gun apart, are there any known issues I need to check first?

Some folks over on SigTalk are saying when the barrel heats up the dispersion gets real bad. How fast did you dump that first mag?
I've often wondered if Sig needed a slightly heavier profile on the barrel. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I had accuracy issues out of the box. Sent it back to Sig and got it back in less than 2 weeks. They replaced the bbl and even remounted my Gentech QD mount for me. Accuracy is right on and as accurate as my ARs. I did swap out the factory thin stock for the collapsible stock. Way better for me. The thin stock moved around on my shoulder while the collapsible/folding stock does not as it has a wider butt pad. Better cheek weld as well. Geiselle SSA helped a lot as well. |

He's just kidding on the July 2025, doubtful it will be before 2030.
But seriously you might as well call and get on the backorder list. Doesn't cost you anything as they won't charge your card until its ready to ship. Depending on who you talk to and which day you will get a different answer on when to expect them. I've heard as soon as mid December to maybe next summer. At this point I would probably put the over/under betting odds at July 2017. I would still take the over. |

I just haven't used Sig Optics enough to choose them over Aimpoint. I can't personally say how good they are only because I don't have any time with them. I may, in the future, start messing with them but for now... I'm Aimpoint when it comes to red dot. |

Anyone else have a broken charging handle yet? The ambi linkage in mine broke somehow so one side would not activate the other, requiring both sides to be depressed simultaneously to pull the CH back. The CH always seemed a little flimsy to me and is my one complaint with the rifle so far. It should be noted I probably only have 500-1000 rounds through mine.
I called Sig which was a pleasure actually. Within 5 minutes I had a new CH on the way for free and it arrived today (maybe one week later). The replacement appears externally to be exactly the same which is not confidence inspiring. I wish Sig would redesign it or someone would make an aftermarket one.

It was reinstalled incorrectly. You can see that the other rod isn't inserted into the cap, it's resting in the spring channel:

It was reinstalled incorrectly. You can see that the other rod isn't inserted into the cap, it's resting in the spring channel: https://youtu.be/86DpZ1dsc3c?t=338 (sorry was attempting to respond to the broken MCX post but I don't have the hang of the buttons yet :) Welcome. I suspect this to be the cause as well. It would be nice to see those caps made out of something other than plastic. Should be an easy piece to machine. I suspect we'll see the Gen 2 MCX with a metal cap. We're already at Gen2 with the new gas system. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

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? |

I was trying to have an accepting attitude towards a parts failure and keep an open mind when I started the video. After watching I think that had to be the cause, improper reassembly. Is there even enough play in the guide rod channel in the upper for the guide rod to have unseated from the cap and released the recoil spring? |
