There was talk of it. Not sure when it'll happen though. I've been holding out for the factory SBR, but still nothing.
Found it. http://www.sigaddict.com/kunena-2015-03-31/sig-addict-news/124067-sig-sauer-teases-a-16-inch-keymod-mpx |

There was some discussion on that over on Sig Forum. According to someone there who spoke with SIG, the biggest issue is that the MPX is designed around needing a very short gas system, which on a long 16" barrel would cause too much back pressure so there was some sort of redesign needed.
Considering their selling every MPX they're making right now so I can't see them adding another model to their production line quite yet. |

When I spoke with a Sig factory rep he stated that a 16in model is coming. The barrel will not be rifled the full length and will open up in diameter internally to allow the gas system to function. As a result it is not compatible with suppressors according to sig. He also confirmed gen 1 gun will not be compatible with other calibers.

One of my distributors is listing a 16" MPX. It says a 13.something" barrel with perm attached flash hider. I asked my Sig rep and he confirmed it....but I don't believe anything until I see proof.

I'd imagine that can easily be fixed by adjusting the gas port diameter |
