Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tacticool_Duck: It was from a vendor, fwiw. Ended up snagging it after talked with a rep through work who does some sig stuff. Said with high demand of guns going on, that is the focus. Said to expect 60-120 days but not exact time frame. Rather have the 11.5 when stamp gets approved and spend the extra 50. Did MI ever make a FDE/tan handguard? Probably just pick up a FDE 10in SD handguard from Sig. Did it come with a bolt? I paid full SIG price off their website, but it included a bolt. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tacticool_Duck: 550 fair price for a 11.5 Virtus barrel? If you want for Sig to catch up with demand and start making barrel kits again, you can get a factory new for $500. If you aren't in a rush, I would just wait. Or get the price down.

I have a new/unused bolt I’ll send you. Soon as it comes in I’ll do that if it’s not in the box. It should be brand new from factory, snagged it from a dealer in neveda.. If they don’t, I’ll shoot you a PM and buy it from you. I wasn’t aware it was supposed to come with the bolt, I checked Sig’s site and description and it wasn’t mentioned so I figured it matched up and was good to go. Even got sku # from the guy to verify. |

Just picked up a helicopter brace off a member, it does indeed do a meatspin at the worst possible time, in addition to being a bit more flexible than I thought it would be. Waiting on a GHW no-spin Tailhook adapter and DirtyJ non-buttpad "devoid filler." Will post my thoughts on that whenever I get to try it out.
I now come to realize that no one, anywhere, has a Mod 1 Tailhook in stock.  Kinda debating on doing a form 1 for a real stock, nothing else to do in my off time during quarantine. |

Debating on a can for .300 blackout atm, i think i'm going to stick with Sig's line. However, i know they are going to release new cans. Is it worth the wait to go with the new 3D printed ones coming out, price drop on current sigs (if there is one), or possibly a Nomad30 ( I know someone was saying it was really quiet as well). |

The SIG cans are great. Steel if you plan on running it hard. Titanium to save weight. Direct thread for set and forget. Or QD for swapping. Good deals are out there. Nomad L is super quiet. Nomad is quiet an a bit shorter. YHM Resonator for price to performance value. I bet the 3D SIG cans will be good, but I can’t recommend anything I haven’t personally shot. I had a brief amount of time with the MIL versions at SHOT and they seemed good. But the consumer ones are supposed to be quieter. |

There is also a good thread in the Silencer forum that is worth checking out. Sig also makes a great suppressor, as does YHM, Dead Air and many others. Just depends how much you want to spend, construction material and method you want, size, weight, QD mounts....etc. Lots of great choices. https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/Introducing-The-Energetic-VOX/20-489039/ |

Haven’t seen it called the “-10” but I assume it’s the direct thread Ti version. ETA - A little birdie from NH informed me the “-10” is a 10 baffle version as opposed to the standard 13. If you are planning on running it hard with supers and/or using the 5.5” barrel, get the steel. If you are mostly running subs and/or don’t do multiple mag dumps with supers, the Ti is nice for the weight. I’m thinking about doing the same thing, have the 762SRDTi-QD and may pickup the 762SRD for the 6.75” barrel. Most of us mortals won’t wear out a silencer. Titanium or not. |

The 10 baffle Ti can is still longer than the srd steel when I checked. Might need to go steel for durability and compactness. Is the 762-10 closer to the LVAW one?

 The Ti-10 is shit hot! I spent a lot of time bugging folks at Sig about cans and decided the Ti-10 was the best balance of length, weight, and sound suppression for me. I went Ti because knew I was going to run this gun 90% subs and wanted the reduced weight and direct thread because it was going to be dedicated to the barrel (6.75”) and it was never going to get shot unsuppressed, and I like the aggressive look of the wrench flats/strike face. That made it between that and the SRD762Ti, but I decided if I was going to build a short 300BLK gun, I wanted it to be shorter than my 5.56 guns—with the SRD762Ti it basically bumps you back up to the length of a 10.5” 5.56 and 6” suppressor (6.75” barrel and 9.3” suppressor). The SRD762Ti suppresses slightly better, but the Ti-10 is still very quiet, so to me the reduced length was more worthwhile. The SRD762-QD is also slightly longer than the Ti-10 as well, especially when you consider the length added by QD attachment mechanism. ~Augee |

I actually don’t want to shoot that 16in barrel since I’ll probably end up selling it. But I may not be able to resist the urge. But, I’m not too worried, it was on some of the original MCXs I believe. My buddy had that stock and never mentioned it being too bad. I have the standard telescoping stock as well if it’s too uncomfortable. But it’s just 5.56, Cheek weld is nonexistent tho just from shouldering. |

But there must be a reason they dropped the FDE version. It is kind of sad, as I like there being more color options being available for customers. The grey looks good but I always have a preference for FDE. In a perfect world, the MCX would be color anodized and I'd be sitting on a multi shade of FDE, similar to the SCAR haha. I'm a bit curious why they are dropping the FDE 11.5 setup as well. Seems a bit odd but they must have some internal reason. |

But, I'm half considering getting it anodized. |

Would prefer FDE. Gotta think on it FDE color has been discontinued so probably going to be slim pickings as inventory dries up. Makes me damned happy I grabbed mine just before the coronavirus bull shit scare. Has the older brace design but prefer it with FDE over the grey 11.5 setup. I like the stealth/concrete grey. It looks sharp. FDE one isn't bad either. But there must be a reason they dropped the FDE version. It is kind of sad, as I like there being more color options being available for customers.

Cerakote isn't bad, but would rather have anodized as well if given the choice. Multi shade FDE, ODG would have been nice options. |
