I took SIG's photo and used the Lancer magazine's width as the known (3.22" front to back on bottom half).  I got the following dimensions, take these all as approximate

Takedown pin spacing: 7.24"       AR10 6.87
Upper receiver length (used the notch between the front pin and the start of the handguard) 9.15"      AR10 8.5" (approx)
Front of magwell to back of receiver near grip (not counting extra spacing of plastic grip) 6.99   AR10  7.04" -- call that the same
Bottom of lower receiver at trigger to top of rail, 4.18"   AR10 3.42

Looks like the same form factor as an AR10 to me (ie, "same approximate size and shape"), unless the magazine in the photo is not a Lancer 308 magazine

I'll take some photos this weekend to show why analyzing it that way is disingenuous.

Luckily, I have a striped down Noveske N6 to use as reference.

ETA: Obviously, size is somewhat more comparable to an AR10 over an AR15, but there are significant design aspects which differentiate it from the AR10 Form Factor.

It looks sick, but it's a little unfortunate that infantry rifles are getting priced out of reach of the common man.  Just about anyone with some discipline can get a fully kitted AR, not so much for this or its ammo. And I really do think these next gen rifles and especially sighting systems are gonna be significant force multipliers.

Initial introductions of any "new technology" is always priced ridiculously. If it is viable, the market has a way of churning out these developments at a more and more accessible level.

It's basic Moore's Law.

Sig has a vested interest in getting the ammo costs down, as a direct function of adoption.

Same with the optics. Just look at Thermals, and what's happened there in the last 10 years.

Quite a bit of passive aggressive jealousy in this thread. Cool stick, OP.


I’m really torn on Sig’s products. On one hand, I believe they are the most innovative major manufacturer currently in the industry, and I love that they actually fight for the cause. On the other hand, they seem to consistently fuck up product roll outs, and they produce concealed curry firearms.

Sig somehow made an ar10 that is even bulkier and heavier. 8.5 lbs with no light, optic, dbal, etc.

This thing is going to weigh 12 lbs when outfitted and holding a mag.

The imperative issue the Army has is justifying it’s budget increases year after year. If you don’t find a reason to waste money, they lower your budget the following year. Same reason the military(entire government) is always funding research that makes no sense just to ditch and go back to what they already had.

Op that's a nice rifle, that being said as a poor even 2-3k is a bit much for the "average" person I feel like. Then factor in probable barrel life issues, and ammo costs to actually train with the gun would be astronomical IMHO and will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

Been following the hybrid ammo for about 7 years now, and while I think it has interesting potential. Untill barrel life is figured out and some made common .Mil ammo it will not be feasible for most.

Plus as it appears Russian body armor might not be that great the 5.45 and 7.62x36 the Ukrainians are using seems to do the job. 20 inch musket with 55 or 62gr pills will probably work in a pinch. Finally given the geography of where I personally live in would have to drive 2 hours one way to even properly shoot this rifle past 300 yards. So that is a non starter for me and why I stick with 5.56 guns myself.

Definitely cool as hell to have the latest and greatest (as a handgun shooter primarily I love my Staccato P) , but this is a crazy buy in price again.

It would be much more accurate to compare it to 6.5 or 6mm creedmoor.  This is not a small frame gun.

And they run them at 80,000psi instead of the 50,000 psi.  It is a Sig only proposition for now.  If I need to reach out and touch something, I already have a short mag.  If I ever have to hump all my ammo on my back, I am too old to double the weight.  I'll let others be the beta testers and pay the novelty tax.

5.56 vs 7.62

Chuck P shares his qualified opinion on calibers.

Most of the end users like more ammo that is lighter weight. Everybody likes the new hotness, until they have to carry it.
And once again, small arms are not the big killer on the battlefield...HE is.

Want to make our Grunts better? give them portable HE drones that can go fuck up a couple of Smelly goat fuckers manning a PK on a ridge 800 meters away vs, trying to turn every infantryman into Carlos Hathcock.
The focus and dollars should be on portable HE systems...Drones, mortars...better grenade launchers.

I've watched big Army blow hundreds of millions of dollars over the last 30 years in slight incremental improvements on the issued rifles...

And they all still do pretty much the same thing give or take

The MCX stock is OOS everywhere, seemingly forever more. Just try buying parts for them. I own two of those and the SPEAR seems interesting but not enough of a shift to warrant buying it especially with Sig’s legendary short term support of their more recent designs.
