I went with the T2 for battery life and just leave it on. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/260726/20220724_123754-2532986.jpg @sbye what handguard is that? I'm debating hiding my can (when it gets here) but I went short and fat, so not thinking it fits in all my options. That looks beefy |

By far some of the best customer service I've dealt with. An extreme scenario during patrol rifle quals a few years ago had a pebble (legitimately a pebble) ricochet off something and smoke the sight dead center. Glass was cracked, but it still worked like a charm. Not sure if it was just a LE relationship, but they sent out a new EXPS overnight to us to put on the rifle +/- 2 days turnaround. Sent the broken one back and they repaired that and also sent that one back to us. No issue at all. That said, I posted in the SPEAR LT thread because the topic somehow bumped onto the Virtus for a hot second... I was finally able to get my hands on an 11.5" conversion kit. I've only had the 16" barrel as the Virtus I own was the patrol model. While I debate whether or not to actually stamp it (which I'll probably need help with measurements because of the 1913 rail section if anyone has Form 1'd an MCX) or just throw a brace on it when I run the 11.5 while I wait. I've also been running an ACOG on my Virtus and am debating whether or not to get another EOTECH for the 11.5 or is it worth it (would there be much deviation) to keep the ACOG on the 11.5 and just do barrel/brace/stock swaps. |

If your MCX was purchased as a rifle (patrol model), you cannot put a pistol brace on it. You'd need to SBR that lower or use a completely different lower that is new or started as a pistol. |

The same is not true for a pistol, i.e. if you put a stock and 16" barrel on a pistol, that's fine, however you cannot take it back to a pistol once you've done that. Because it was a rifle, and the DNA of that pistol remembers that it was a rifle, and it is forever more dangerous. Or some logic like that. |

Looks like this project will [continue to] be in a holding pattern until my Form 1 comes back. Here's my ultimate questions now: For anyone who has Form 1'd an MCX/Virtus, when it asked for the "Overall Length" in Section 4F, is this length including whatever stock is on the lower or just to the 1913 section? When I Form 1'd my other AR, it was measured with the stock fully extended on the buffer tube. Is that the same here? |

I just googled “MCX tacops overall length” and used that. It was approved without issue. I vaguely recall reading it’s supposed to be measured with the stock fully erect though. Eta: google is providing conflicting information on whether is measured folded or unfolded, so I have no idea. |

You actually can take it from a pistol to a rifle back to a pistol. If the weapon originated as a rifle, it'll always be a rifle. If it started as a pistol, you can move it back and forth as you desire. |

Any constructive input on this would be much appreciated:
Currently running a 16" Virtus with a Trijicon 4x32 TA31F. Was able to finally acquire my 11.5" conversion kit and now awaiting Form 1 approval. It would probably be more logical to get a new optic for when I run the 11.5 versus keeping the ACOG on for both barrels, correct? Would there be much difference in compensation using the ACOG for both the 16 and 11.5? |

To preface, I’m going to assume what I was wanting already existed and someone will be along shortly to provide a web link and make me look stupid.
Anyways, I love the concept of the LVAW so I built a sorta/kinda clone’ish gun. 6.75” barrel w/a 10” MI SD handguard. Anyways, it kind of annoyed me that no one seemed to make a handguard short enough to use with a blast deflector (wanted that capability so the rifle could be shot unsuppressed if I needed something with a shorter OAL). I was either stuck with something 10” or longer or something short enough to position the muzzle device outside of the handguard. Anyways, got bored and decided to chop the 10” MI SD rail.  I wanted to get the handguard length to around 8” as a good compromise between the two. My cuts ended up putting the handguard around 8.25”.  Attached File Attached File Attached FileUnsuppressed and suppressed. 11.5” SR15 CQB upper/SBR for reference/comparison.  Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By doolz: On your Form 1, under Line Item for engravings... Do you need to submit a picture of the SIG logo with "SIG MCX MULTI-CALIBER" and the "SIG SAUER INC NEWINGTON NH USA [SERIAL NUMBER]" or only the engraving with the serial number? My previous lower had all the information on one engraving under the logo. @doolz I put "MCX" as the Model and "SIG ARMS (SIG SAUER)" from the drop down for the Business Name, and "300" as caliber. I did not submit any photos besides the one of my ugly mug. If you tell me where to check on the page I can be more specific. |

I'm picking up my new MPX K tomorrow and have the SB brace ready for her. |

Use what they have in the dropdowns and don't put what the engraving says. ATF corrected one of my F1's earlier this year. It will just delay your approval. |

Yet another "mailing issue" with my prints and cover sheet...
Last time I submitted the above for my previous lower, it took 14 business days to arrive via priority mail. The envelope kept bouncing around between the Harrisburg, PA regional distribution center and Jamaica, NY regional distribution center. This was in April. Now, mailed out my prints and cover sheet on Thursday (Priority Mail Overnight) and, once again, it's bouncing around the USPS system. Originally expected to be delivered Friday, 12/09/2022....  Someone please tell me this is because they will only accept the package on a business day, Mon-Fri... |

The USPS absolutely sucks lately, well in general, but extra lately. They "should" deliver next business day, but you never know... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WUPHF: To preface, I’m going to assume what I was wanting already existed and someone will be along shortly to provide a web link and make me look stupid. Anyways, I love the concept of the LVAW so I built a sorta/kinda clone’ish gun. 6.75” barrel w/a 10” MI SD handguard. Anyways, it kind of annoyed me that no one seemed to make a handguard short enough to use with a blast deflector (wanted that capability so the rifle could be shot unsuppressed if I needed something with a shorter OAL). I was either stuck with something 10” or longer or something short enough to position the muzzle device outside of the handguard. Anyways, got bored and decided to chop the 10” MI SD rail. I wanted to get the handguard length to around 8” as a good compromise between the two. My cuts ended up putting the handguard around 8.25”. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/294984/3E115785-55A5-409F-9502-8B8E594748C0_jpe-2626837.JPGhttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/294984/501EDF43-8FD9-4D26-8CED-3BB6CCF9B5D7_jpe-2626838.JPGhttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/294984/305CEF80-5C8A-4E61-9B7D-8467FDACEFBA_jpe-2626839.JPG Unsuppressed and suppressed. 11.5” SR15 CQB upper/SBR for reference/comparison. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/294984/027FF0BE-D71E-4E06-A42C-65E693A04492_jpe-2626840.JPGhttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/294984/6E3F7B1B-0728-4986-83B0-EDD0DA9616AE_jpe-2626841.JPG Bro, that actually looks really good. Nice job! |

Has anyone, or is it even possible, to use the 8" PDW HG on a 16" 556 virtus?

Attached File Attached FileI've never tried what you seek, but from a design perspective, the handguard looks to have both gas adjustment ports (windows). So it should function fine with the shorter 5.56/.300BO offerings while also accommodating the longer barrel/gas piston offerings. Your barrel will just protrude quite a bit I would imagine. ETA... I never looked but it appears the 1st gas adjustment port (window) closest to the receiver is dedicated .300BO. Whereas the 2nd gas adjustment port in the handguard is dedicated 5.56. I may be wrong, I am new to the MCX platform. I have a Rattler Canebrake and I am picking up a 16" MCX W-TAP Patrol today. |
