    Will these in fact be released in FDE?

    Some historical information about the gun and why it was built.
    “The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

    I put 10 rounds through the rifle on the local indoor range earlier just to make sure my windage is good for shooting at longer ranges this weekend.

    I shot suppressed with supersonic. Of course the ten round "torture" test means nothing but the gun ran fine up to this point.

    Really the only thing I can comment on at this point is the trigger. We gauged it at 13.5 pounds. I can only assume that SIG is using extra power springs for when they release the 7.62X39 conversion. I'm sure they want reliable ignition with Russian primers.

    More tomorrow or Sunday, hopefully.

    May have missed it, but what are the pistol barrel lengths?

    Here's a look at the rear of the lower receiver. Note the recoil buffer.

    Playing around a little with the rifle and a fired case I see that the gap between the charging handle and bolt has been closed up a bit. It now looks like the gap has been reduced to the point that a fired case can no longer become lodged between the top of the bolt carrier and the handle. The charging handle also lacks the "nose" at the front that interfaces with the bolt carrier. These changes should eliminate our favorite AR malfunctions. uploadfromtaptalk1423869352312.jpg

    The Sig MCX has been submitted to the French rifle competition against the HK416A5, Croation VHS-2, Beretta ARX-160, and FNH SCAR-L.

    Should be interresting. I think the Sig has a real chance at winning based off what I have seen.
