Sig MCX

[Shemp]

So I handled one of these at a gun shop...it was pretty awesome. Gas piston but it felt as lite as a DI AR....I was really digging the folding stock as well...

Anybody have any experience with these? Any issues?

I briefly shot one at the IV8888 YouTube Shoot last weekend. Seemed pretty nice however I was surprised it didn't have a ambi bolt release like the MPX does.

My biggest concern aside from the proprietary bolt/spring setup is the exposed piston action through the handguards. I'd be curious to see some mud/sand tests.

sort of. It can use AR mags, lowers ( with an adapter), and triggers. Otherwise it was design as a short stroke piston gun. The bolt/recoil setup is totally different...and it weighs damn near nothing.

I think it's pretty awesome and the design is VERY simple. More than anything after the whole XI Russian debacle I'm hesitant about the MCX. It seems to bridge the ap between AR and AK the best of any attempts I've seen...

I like the looks. Hows the folding stock work? NFA?

still a full length rifle so not NFA. It feels quite comfortable and is a result of the dual recoil spring/op rod set up it uses. Quite ingenious.

I just can't get into these types of weapons. There is just too much going on with them. Give me a set of iron sights and throw the crazy rails and scope in the garbage. It looks like a toy.

Don't really care how it looks....besides ARs are inherently toy-like.

LOL, I wish that were my girlfriend. I got a thing for Asian ladies.

lol for whatever reason a lot of the "older" vets do...at least from what I have seen. I'd say half the guys I know over 40-45 years old have Asian wives.

Yeah, but half those asian wives hit 45 and shrink 5 inches while gaining 50lbs...

I've not played with him.
