NEWINGTON, N.H. (January 12, 2015) — SIG SAUER, Inc., continues to set new standards in firearm design, innovation, and performance with the introduction of the SIG MCX™. Designed from the ground up as a short-barreled, silenced, lightweight rifle-caliber system, the SIG MCX has reset the standard for modularity, sound suppression, and mission capability.
With the introduction of the SIG MPX™ submachine gun, SIG SAUER raised the bar for performance and modularity in a pistol-caliber platform. The SIG MCX combines that modularity with rifle-caliber power in a compact package, designed for optimum performance with a silencer.
“We’ve built a team of the best minds in the industry, when it comes to silencer technology, rifle engineering and the .300 Blackout cartridge,” said Jeff Creamer, Executive Director and General Merchandise Manager for SIG SAUER, Inc. “The end result is a technological leap forward in ergonomics, modularity, cartridge performance, and sound reduction.”
Unlike every other firearm on the market, the SIG MCX was designed from the start for optimum performance with the .300 Blackout cartridge and a silencer. When paired with a SIG SAUER silencer, the outcome is a firearm with superior suppression capability and enhanced reliability with both supersonic and subsonic loads.
An auto-regulating gas system makes the transition from subsonic to supersonic seamless. In combat situations, the SIG MCX can run supersonic on the silenced setting without damaging the firearm or negatively impacting reliability.
Sharing a modular design with the SIG MPX, the SIG MCX is a mission-adaptable marvel. Changing between .300 Blackout and 5.56 NATO is as simple as swapping barrels and op rods. Converting to 7.62x39mm simply requires an additional bolt face change. All of this can be performed by the user in the field. Barrel lengths can also be changed, with 16″ and 9″ versions initially available.
“The SIG MCX can be set up as a silenced personal defense weapon or a primary rifle in almost no time at all,” Creamer said. “The one constant is SIG SAUER reliability and durability.”
The SIG MCX features a revolutionary recoil assembly that does not require a buffer tube, allowing for side-folding stocks. A full-length picatinny top rail allows for the mounting of lights or optics. Removable SIG SAUER iron sights come standard.
The lower receiver offers familiar AR-style controls, with ambidextrous selector and mag release as standard. The SIG MCX upper is compatible with mil-spec AR-15 lowers and, with the use of a SIG MCX Stock Kit, allows consumers to fully upgrade their legacy system.
Three variants of the SIG MCX will be available to the commercial market; semi-automatic rifle, short-barrel rifle (SBR) and pistol configurations. All will be available in .300 Blackout, 5.56 NATO or 7.62x39mm, with caliber conversions available immediately.
All SIG MCX models will feature aluminum KeyMod handguards, ambi AR-style controls, an ambi charging handle, and will utilize standard STANAG magazines. Also unique to the SIG MCX is an upper receiver with hardened replaceable wear points, including a cam path wear insert, a feed ramp insert, a removable / replaceable deflector, and charging handle latch point inserts.
The rifle variant will feature a 16″ cold hammer-forged barrel, while the SBR will come with a 9″ barrel. Both will offer a choice of four stocks: a low profile, side-folding skeletonized stock, a telescoping stock, a tubular side folding stock, or a folding telescopic stock. The pistol variant will feature a 9″ barrel and a side-folding SBX Pistol Stabilizing Brace.
The SIG MCX rifle carries an MSRP of $1,866, while the SBR variant has an MSRP of $2,058. The pistol with side-folding SBX has an MSRP of $2,132.

Today, SilencerCo announced the release of The Omega, their brand-new .30 caliber suppressor. Made of lightweight titanium, tool-grade stainless steel, and Stellite, it combines aspects of the Harvester, Saker, and Specwar series suppressors, offering full auto capability, a 7-inch length, and a noise report of only 133 decibels. The full release can be read below:
WEST VALLEY CITY, UT – Jan. 12, 2015 – Furthering their reputation for constant innovation in firearm sound suppression, SilencerCo today released the Omega – the shortest, lightest and quietest full auto centerfire rifle silencer on the market.
Combining the best features from the Harvester, Saker and Specwar rifle series – all leaders in their respective classes – SilencerCo has built a true multipurpose product that excels in any scenario.
“The fact that we have the best performing and selling trio of .30 caliber silencers on the market doesn’t mean we stop innovating,” states SilencerCo CEO Joshua Waldron. “We’re constantly looking for ways to improve upon our successes, and 2015 will be no exception.”
The Omega is comprised of titanium, tool-grade stainless steel and Stellite, keeping its weight at 14 ounces, while providing strength sufficient for full auto applications. Length is only 7 inches using a direct thread mount, or 7 ¾ inches with the Active Spring Retention (ASR) quick-detach mount – both included with each purchase. Sound is minimized to an industry-leading 133 decibels on a .308 platform. In addition, a removable Anchor Brake provides significant recoil reduction for larger calibers.
Available immediately, the Omega will start shipping to distributors in January 2015. For more information, visit: http://www.silencerco.com/omega. To find a SilencerCo dealer near you, visit http://www.silencerco.com/locate-dealer.
The Mausingfield Action from American Rifle Company debuted at last year’s SHOT Show and immediately caught the attention of precision shooting circles. I’m always impressed with the development of very specialized equipment based on requirements, particularly when the inventor builds something based on his own needs. When Caylen Wojcik of Magpul Dynamics told me about (ok, that is his version of raving about it) the Mausingfield, I knew that I needed to spread the word to my readers. Although it may never achieve wide stream recognition, the Mausingfield is certainly something that should become well known in the Sniper and tactical competition communities.
This is probably this simplest description of the Mausingfield to get you started.
Together, they form one helluva combination that has been picked up over the past year by several custom rifle builders.
I’ve spoken with Theodore Karagias, President of the Seattle-based American Rifle Company, Inc. and he told me that he developed the Mausingfield action to be the most effective rifle action available for use in extreme conditions. He fully admits that the Mausingfield isn’t for everyone. It’s a very specialized device for very specialized applications. Think, snow, ice, mud, sand and you’ll get the picture.
“If I could have bought a rifle that I considered to be both properly designed and well executed, I would not have designed my own. Adoptable, battle-proven ideas are my favorites. If those are not available, I must invent. That’s how the Mausingfield happened.”
-Ted Karagias
Karagias took a look at what was available and eventually his thoughts got to what he had used as a kid; the Mauser. Very effective, it just needed some adapting. A combination of old and new, the Mausingfield integrates some features that shooters are accustomed to and reintroduces proven, yet out-of-fashion elements along with some engineering and the latest materials.
He set to work within the footprint of a Remington 700 because so many excellent stocks and accessories were already out there. The Mausingfield action is compatible with Remington 700 triggers, trigger guards, chassis, and stocks. The action is also compatible with proven Savage barrels rather than some proprietary, new design. Karagias worked for many years in the aerospace field and brought his experience with materials to bear as well. He also decided to utilize two lugs in order to enhance the “feeling” of the shooter as he chambers a round.
Here are a few of the features of the Mausingfield Action:
-Interchangeable bolt heads support multi-caliber rifles
-Toroidal bolt lugs do not require lapping
-Battle-proven Mauser 98 claw extractor
-Battle-proven M1903 Springfield inertial ejector
-Secure and interchangeable interlocking rail interface
-Ergonomically designed bolt knob
-Compatible with Alpha and Accuracy International CS magazines
-Compatible with Savage barrels and locknuts
-Integral recoil lug
Obviously, the Mausingfield is proudly engineered and manufactured in the USA. Be sure to check out the Mausingfield as well as American Rifle Company’s other products at SHOT Show in booth #20459.

The ALG Defense 6-Second Mount was designed when a counter-terrorism unit approached ALG with a strict set of criteria. When entering a linear environment, such as an airplane or bus, the team’s primary weapon was their pistol and they were looking for a fast sighting method that was rugged and robust. Red dot scopes mounted directly to their pistol slides were showing a high failure rate, due to extreme acceleration or deceleration of the slide. The balance of the pistols was thrown off from the rearward scope mounting position, and the slides were weakened from machining a pocket for the scopes into the top of the slide.
The name, 6-Second Mount, comes from a description used by one of the operators: “The fight lasts 6 seconds… Either they’re dead or you’re dead, and aggression saves the day.”
Mounting an optic to your weapon decreases engagement time, allowing for faster and more accurate hits on target. By separating the sight from the reciprocating slide it allows the pistol to function properly without the added mass of the optic sight, producing a favorable weight distribution.
The ALG 6-Second Mount in machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and designed to fit Gen 3 Glock 17, 22, 24, 31, 34 and 35.
