No malfunctions, I loaded it and fired single rounds, 5 rounds each with bolt forward, working ch to load and then bolt to the rear with BC. Checking gas function, etc. Then fired 3 mags each with PMC xtac and Rem umc ball.

I just (2/8/2017) got my return tracking info for my full rifle received on 2/1/2017.  Me too, after SIG said it would be weeks. There is speculation (from another SIG rifle forum) that instead of substituting a SIG designed 2 stage trigger for your aftermarket trigger that SIG has instead designed different firing pin locks where needed to function with the different aftermarket triggers. This is based upon an owner who got his returned rifle with a "G" marked on the lock and an invoice which stated "upgrade with Firing Pin Lock for Geissele trigger". |

I'm sure a firing pin lock is cheaper to make than a whole two stage trigger. My return shipping invoice shows the standard item description. I have a larue mbt2 trigger, it will be interesting for sure. |

Communication from Sig surrounding the circumstances of the recall and proposed measures to address has been absolutely abysmal.

I like the "idea" of the rounded lugs and its nice that you don't have to take a recoil spring off to take apart the BCG. That said I see the extra "safety" measures as 2 more things to fail. |

This brings up an interesting question. I wonder if the "recall" was also something that is a requirement for "agency" purchases. We've seen the photo's of some agencies that are using the gun. Anyone know if they are required to get the "upgrade"? Also wondering if this only effects semi-auto versions. |

Very interesting. Rifle has upgraded BCG, removable capture piece.
As for the trigger. Went in with a LaRue MBT came back with a Geissele trigger installed along with the notation of a Geissele firing pin safety latch. And yes the LaRue was in the box. Need to pull it apart to see which Geissele it is. |

It seems like it might work, but if it did I'm sure Sig wouldn't be sending out free triggers. Bonus, remember the 50 gift card, mine was in the booklet. |

Like others that had installed the LaRue MBT trigger in their MCX's, my MCX arrived back today. My LaRue trigger had been removed and returned to me so I can use it in another receiver. SIG installed a Geissele SSA. 2nd stage of the Geissele is a touch heavier and not as smooth as my other SSA's, but then they have been fired 14,000 and 4,000 rounds so are well broken in. I just test fired a few rounds and functioning was 100%. I am certainly happy how this turned out for me. The firing pin lock has a "G" on it.

Just got mine back and the ACT trigger was returned. "G" marked firing pin safety and so the replacement is an SSA? Functioned checked ok and feels nice. I need to compare the "G" marked FPS against the other non marked ones. I hope one can purchase the "G" FPS if wanting to change trigger. When I get time, I will see if the ACT will work in either one.
Hey, nice 2 stage, I'm good

Mine came back yesterday as well. I had a Hiperfire 24E trigger in the MCX when I shipped it to them. Normally it has a Geissele super 3g, but I actually got the MCX and MPX mixed up when I was on the phone with CS. The Hiperfire is my go to in the MPX since it beats up triggers. Initially, I had Super3g in both but since Geissele's gold warranty turned out to be not so Gold, I swapped in the Hiperfire. Since I had told CS I had a Hiperfire in the MCX, I made that true when I shipped it.
When it returned yesterday, the Hiperfire was in a little bag, and the MCX had a shiny new SSA trigger in there. I returned the Hiperfire to the MPX and put the Super3g back in the MCX. So now I have an extra SSA, and that was only slightly gaming the system. I have not had a chance to Shoot it yet, but everything seems good so far. 19 days door to door, full weapon on a Form1, not too bad. Where is my 6.75" 300 Barrel???!? |

I sent my entire rifle in that I had gotten secondhand, so no sales slip or anything. It had a Geissle 3 gun trigger in it when I sent it in and that is what it came back with as well. They only did the carrier upgrade with the firing pin lock for geissle triggers. It appears they ran at least a mag or two through it to function check it. I'm happy with the customer service, although I had dreams of a free trigger like some are getting, lol.
I'll run the gun next week and make sure it works right - if anything goes wrong, i'll let the forum know. |

This whole thing is a scam. If you don't have a Geissele trigger installed, you get one, plus your old one back, so you get a spare trigger to use in something else. If you already have a Geissele trigger, you don't get squat!

Someone's gun with a non-Geissele trigger, or even the factory trigger, was no more safe or unsafe than mine with a Geissele trigger. If you swapped out the factory trigger for a Larue or whatever, you paid money out of pocket, same as me. So, why should you get a free new Geissele trigger in addition to your Larue, which can then be used in another gun, when those who choose Geissele in the first place instead of Larue don't? Why shouldn't I get their new trigger too, and then I can use my existing Geissele in another gun? If Sig were providing the same crappy factory trigger that made so many people want to swap out the trigger in the first place, that would be different, but they aren't. If Johnny has one trigger, and sends his gun to Sig and it comes back with two triggers, he now has two triggers. If Bill has one trigger and Sig doesn't send him another tigger, then he only has one trigger. Johnny has more triggers than Bill. Math. It's fundamental. |

Are you really whining about that not being "fair"?? They're already giving you a $50 gift card to their online store, so you'll get some free shit for the inconvenience anyway and the BCG will be brand new. I just don't get your point... I will add that I'm not happy about the whole thing and I think Sig screwed the pooch with it communication-wise, but I'm not going to complain about someone else ending up better off. Good for them! |

Ok, test fired the .300 with "G" FPS and Sig supplied SSA, all went well. Tried the MCX lower with STOCK SIG trigger on the upper with "G" FPS and it works fine. Then tried the lower with SSA on the non "G" FPS and it WILL NOT work.
You can see the slight difference with the "G" FPS. The SSA hammer is shorter, guess that's why they needed a different FPS--question is-why not just have that one for all of them?

Ok, Non "G" marked firing pin safety, standard (stock) Sig trigger. Installed an ALG ACT trigger and it passes a functions check and I can see the firing pin being released by viewing through the mag well and into the weep hole on the carriage body. Will try to test fire in the next two days.
EDIT Test fired, works great! My guess is Sig doesn't know the dimensional differences in the ACT verses the SSA, etc and replaced those with them and added a different FPS. Anyhow, have a SSA now! I don't see why they just didn't use the one FPS that will work with the stock trigger, an ACT and as we know the SSA, guessing it would work with anything, but I'm not paying the bills. |

My MCX rifle was delivered last week. They replaced my Geissele S3G with the "SSA". Has anyone else sent in the S3G and did they also replace it? I had thought that any of the Geissele triggers would work with the G version of the block.
