why can’t they give us the folding stock MCX-MR prototype they submited to the CSASS program, that gun looked really good !!
I’m guessing they may want to rethink the KeyMod hand guard.
A little hard to believe Sig didn’t swap that out for a M-LOK part in the weeks before SOFIC. Don’t those guys read SSD???
It takes more than a few weeks for a large company like Sig to completely change their manufacturing line for a totally different standard. M-lok is coming, but will take a few months.
Not talking about retooling the entire product line, I am talking about ONE RIFLE they are displaying at a major trade show. Besides that, the comment was obviously tongue in cheek with the “don’t they read SSD” reference. Lighten up Francis.
Like Patrick said, can I get a folding stock and how about throwing in a M-Lok rail instead (especially considering the recent testing by USSOCOM).
I agree M-lok rails please !
Its still heavier than the POF 7.62
Wow. And it even accepts SR25 magazines without adding another potential point of failure 🙂
