The attempts up until now have been lackluster. Wilcox BOSS seems good. Pricing is not for everyone. |

That said, I think everyone will be happy, when we do release. @coregon can you comment on previous gen support after this new version is released? Will I be able to still get factory parts from Sig for my Virtus rifle? |

These pictures are from a dealer's market and where this gun is being introduced to them. |
On Time. On Target.

Damn, it looks good. |

Dear God, it's glorious. Edit: Do I read the SKU as SOR42031? Hard to tell on my phone. |

With regards to this question, I would suggest counting the rail slots before the handguard. If they are the same as the Virtus, at least there's a chance. |

I'm sure a bunch of these guys sneak out photos before hand and make sure they can't be traced back. I miss seeing new cool stuff. I got to shoot some XDM's before they were XDM's and they just sent them to us and asked for feedback. |

First off, the "Gen 3" pictures have been circulating around ~9/2021 when this picture from some Sig event started floating around:  In addition, earlier this summer pictures of Cole Fackler of GBRS Group running the MCX Gen 3 in 7.62x39 started coming out. Again, pictures of the Gen3 and the 7.62x39 variant are nothing new and have been in circulation for some time.   All this free advertising for Sig only helps them and the hype machine for the Gen 3 as guys try to patiently wait for the next thing. |

Not just the “Gen 3 MCX” images previously released. I may (or may not) have a lot of images and new information to share as well, but I also respect that SIG has timelines, release dates, and marketing plans that need to be followed. So I follow the rules. Others don’t follow SIG’s requests which takes away from the actual release day announcement. But maintaining trust is more important than being first on a new product release. Even one as hot as a new MCX. |

So hypothetically, when could you see yourself being able to share your photos and info? |
