Nonsense. Sig doesn’t support the firearms they produce and drops them and all support with a quickness. I can buy standard AR parts anywhere and everywhere.
|
|
Nice looking piece of hardware but way more than what I would pay for a semiauto rifle. Even if I was flush with cash.
|
|
What does it do that my 12.5" Grendel with an adjustable gas system doesn't do?
|
|
|
Would drive that weapon system in an austere kinetic environment.
|
|
Great looking gun. Isnt it nice to take your Gucci guns out of the safe long enough to get a photo?
|
|
|
My AR’s work fine .
Expensive solution in search of a problem. |
|
Can you put a Vortex Strike Eagle on it and nonchalantly post pics?
|
|
Is that .277 ammo on shelves yet?
And is the stuff on shelves the full pressure fuck-your-armor ammo? |
|
On this topic, OP and I must differ in opinion.
18Z50...M4A1 now, M4A1 tomorrow! |

Dunno about comparing the two, they’re pretty different rifles, but the MCX Spear sure seems like a pretty cool setup. I’ll wait a few years when used .308’s are on the market vs paying 20k for a new one in .277 Unobtanium, but more power to whoever wants to spend their money on such.

I do like the looks of those. If they were maybe in the 3k range for just the gun, I'd prob go for it. Until then, I'll stick with my poor man's Spear, the Rattler.

Sig isnt some savior. While their designs are great in concept, they usually proceed to over promise and under deliver. Like all the easy caliber conversions for the MPX. Then creating two Gen versions of the MPX rapidly. Or rushing a product out to try to get contracts then having major issues when their beta testers on the open market run into things.
And just to throw it out there, I have a MPX and its been a great gun for me. But I'm not blind to the things that Sig does that annoy the hell out of me. |

cool rifle
i ordered a Virtus and canceled after several months and got another bolt gun maybe when stuff cools down..... naaaaaaa |
|
I'll jump onboard when the ammo is more accessible and the rifle drops into the 2.5k range
|
|
|
|
Way way way out of the realm of what I could afford or would want to spend on a rifle, but... SIG is not sitting on any laurels and and waiting for others to define the future.

You son of a bitch, did you get one?
Also, you don't realize it, but I'm actually your son. I look forward to my inheritance. Please drop into the SPEAR thread in the Sig forum and post all of the pics! |

Neat.
What does it weigh? Does the gas system equalize recoil or something? |
|
Can’t we just re-barrel & re-bolt existing stockpiles of M16’s & M4’s?

No it is not
A proprietary system, that SIG will discontinue 2 years from now and make spare parts IMPOSSIBLE to find is NOT an improvement on a AR10 system that Larue, LMT, KAC and others have mastered. |
