Sven Manticore Arms Yeah, just like with the $65-70 dollar mags that are a bit tough to swing for a lot of shooters. If only someone would?? |

Sven Manticore Arms Do you have any news to share, Sven? It would be odd because I distinctly remembering him saying they would no longer touch SIG products ever again due to their history of changing the 556 line too often. Although I would greatly welcome MPX and MCX parts to the market. |

You are correct, we swore off SIG parts after the 556 inline changes (something like 12+ we were able internally document, even when they insisted nothing was being changed to the public). My employees were quick to remind me of this recently. 
That being said, an opportunity has come along (not from SIG, but from somewhere else) that might justify us making a Transformer forend for the SIG MPX and by extension the SIG MCX. We will see how it pans out.

Sven,
I remember your post about not touching the MPX... But I'll forgive you if you can bring a K handguard to market. There are a ton of people getting their barrels chopped down to 4.5" and the standard MPX HG doesn't cut flush due to the alignment of the Keymod slots. |

What I need is EXACT dimensions of the length for the "4 1/2 inch" shorty handguard that people want.

I talked to the MPX barrel chopping guys from Facebook again this evening. They provided me with some data that could possibly assist Sven with determining the precise length for a MPX-K hand guard.

You do not have to push the button if the BCG is forward. You do if the BCG is locked back and the charging handle is all the way forward. I really wish AXTS would incorporate the "cup". I works wonders at re-directing gasses on a suppressed SBR. |

For someone that has ventured off the beaten path of AR's for the first time,
The lack of accessories and attention to the platform has left a bad taste with me. Kinda sucks, but it is a sweet shooter...I'll give it that. |
