I think we have outpaced most of our competition when it comes to providing the commercial market with the same products we are selling Uncle Sam. @coregon I agree with your perspective and points. No matter what, there will always be that someone with a complaint especially when it has something to do with SIG. If SIG wasn't doing something right, then there'd be no innovation within their catalog, no NGSW discussion pertinent to SIG, or Haters to help gauge how bad there products look compared to SIG. Keep it coming! Oh and while your at it can you come over to the 716I thread? We could use some SIG representation and clarification regarding specs. https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/The-SIG-716I-TREAD-The-best-AR-308-AR-10-type-rifle-for-the-money-/45-521591/? |

The common man with $8,000.00 to spend in their dream rifle (let’s say) still doesn’t stand a chance… If the big dealers were mandated by Sig to sell the gun for "retail" then it would be the private buyers auctioning the guns for $25,000. It's a collectible limited edition, I think this is expected and fine. If the market demands 500,000+ units of the production model Spear then Sig will gladly push them out to the public as they are able. |

I'm starting to wonder if there's any special groups out there testing .277Fury on Russian body armor in a hyper-realistic scenario.
We've seen lots of MCXs in pics there. |

What optic(s) are you guys planning once this thing gets released?
I've got a Trijicon 1-8 that is currently on a SBR Grendel build, but it'll get repurposed for this once it gets released, unless I find something nicer. I'm thinking I'll buy whatever version I can find first, and unless the price of .277 comes down, there is a fuckton of 6.5 Jesusmoor here locally. And for nighttime fun, I'll mount my Nox35.

True, what I’m most interested in knowing is if there is a production option for a gun that is mostly “clone correct” - like how FN’s SCAR 17/20 are pretty much clones of the Mk17/Mk20 with the exception of markings, select-fire, barrel lengths and muzzle devices, or the HK SP5 being as close as you can get to a gov-issue MP5, minus the markings, select-fire, trigger housing/shelf, and sear block. |

When the Raptor comes out with the 8" barrel, it really would make sense to offer a suppressor width handguard. Basically, what I want is a big-boy LVAW in 8.6blk. A man can dream, can't he? |

Hmmmmm
You guys think we're going to need a 6.8 specific suppressor? The current 7.62 SLX & SLH sig suppressors...are they not robust enough to handle the increased PSI from Sigs hybrid case ammo? Is the 6.8 suppressor that comes with the 1st edition Spear bored out large enough for 7.62 rounds? |

Feel free to request any details on anything. The more I look at your photos, the more I'm convinced the uppers on the SPEAR are forged 7075. Some of those lines by the cam pin relief cutout give me that impression. Plus the Gen 3 MCX vid said they needed to make some changes to handle the pressure so I'm thinking it's the uppers are forged. I welcome this change, if true.
