Question, I plan on a bolt gun using the MDT LSS chassis and use a folder for storage and transport. I currently have a XLR folder and chassis for one, thing is the XLR and MDT folder does not a lock, even friction while folded. Does the Sig version lock when folded or have a friction like the skeleton one? I haven't seen much or even pictures of the Sig AR adapter to somewhat answer this. I would use a Magpul CTR with riser on the bolt gun. Appreciate any feedback. I can't remember how the AR stock adapter locks, but you wouldn't be able to use it on the MDT. It isn't a folding buffer tube, it's a hinge adapter that a standard tube screws into. The adapter attaches to the pic rail on the back of the MCX receiver. Oh, I see. Just a straight hub, no folder. I thought it would have a hub like the skeleton and would fold. It is a folder. But the folding mechanism attaches to a pic rail, whereas the MDT LSS chassis has the threads to go direct to a buffer tube. There's no where on the LSS to attach the MCX folding stock assembly, OR the AR pic rail adapter. MCX: AR stock > buffer tube > threads in folding adapter > pic rail on receiver LSS: AR stock > buffer tube > threads on receiver You could try something like this |

Understood, I thought the adapter to go on a NORMAL AR15 lower did in fact screw into the lower and would be the same as the mounting method on the LSS. I'll look at the ACE, looks like it need some dehorning though. Quoted:

Hi guys, I'm currently shopping for an mcx and I'm curious as to why there's such a large variance in price between different online vendors. As much as $500 in many cases. Are these different models or generations of the mcx? Most of the vendors don't offer much in the way of a detailed description. Appreciate your help.

View Quote Yeah, local dealers around here have wide variances too. I think you are seeing a combination of price not setting down quite yet along with some trying to price gouge based on the current spike in demand. |

I've got a T2 coming in for the MCX.
What height mount would you guys recommend? Is the 12 o'clock rail higher than an AR-15? |

Picked mine up yesterday.
I am still kicking around how I want to set it up. I have a DMR for longer range precision work and a Legacy Rifle from Fulton Armory which is a good all around rifle; very light. I keep that Legacy set up stock with A1 carry handle using iron sights. I am basically looking at the Sig as a closer range weapon and doing the Army 25 meter battlesight zero and perhaps just using the stock iron sights. I have a Leupy Mark AR 1.5-4x20 in a LaRue 104 mount I could slap on it. Or I was thinking about Aimpoint PRO. Not sure yet. Since the carbine is so light and handles so well, I am leaning toward iron sights for the most part. This would sort of be a good go to for "home defense" situations. Love how I can fold the stock for compactness. Thoughts? |

RDS is always better for lowlight, which includes HD. I'd also say get a SF scoutlight on a keymod mount. |

those folding, telescoping stocks are available on Sig's website. If anyone was interested

Here is the Sig MCX report. First, this is the most amazing AR type platform I ever shot. Balanced, low recoil, flawless and after about 40 rounds downrange, it was still clean; bolt, carrier, everything. Amazing. Easiest AR to clean. Also very easy to take down, as you know. They have a winner here. I never had a piston platform, but this one is perfect as far as I am concerned.
The trigger is fine. It got better after a few rounds. I am used to milspec triggers anyway. I did the 25 meter battlesight zero on the irons and the Aimpoint. Damn I love this thing. |

Coregon - what mount did you use for your Surefire Scout? I want mine to fit into that void between 9 and 12 o'clock on the rail, but most of the keymod mounts I've seen from BCM etc won't quite work etc because of the slight differences between an MCX keymod rail and say the garden variety AR keymod rail. Nice picture and thanks for the input in advance!

New to this forum. I just picked up my MCX last night. I can't wait to try it out.
|
|
|
Also, any updates on the newer ones and removing the flash hider? I've heard it was tough and was hoping they haven't monkey torqued all of them.
And any updates on items that can be used to index a muzzle brake that requires timing? |

Got my MCX in today.
Looks like I got the 'dropped on the factory floor' upper. A portion of the back end of my upper is down to the aluminum |

I reached out to customer service and sent the pics. I'd like to hold off on sharing them - just a reminder to check your firearm over as soon as you get it. Now I'm just waiting to hear back from them. However machining and finish is great on the lower and stock. The upper aside from the denting on the rear has some divots all over the pic rail on both the upper and handguard |

Quoted: I did a bad thing....I spent all night last night reading this thread and watching MCX vids on YouTube. On a random whim I stopped into one of my lgs's and they had an MCX on the wall. I shouldn't have asked, but I was dumb. I asked how much. The tag said 1499. Crap! That's the cheapest I've seen damn near anywhere.

It's trivial but why don't they take advantage of the folder and ship in a shorter box? Dang.
By the way, I asked today-mid 2016 for 300BO conversions and complete carbines. If not mentioned, the 5.11 Shorty M4 bag works great for this. |

Just installed my new Rock River two-stage National Match trigger. It is like night and day. Amazing. Best $115.00 ever spent.

Indeed! very light, you normally are carrying an extra 5 pounds of bag around, especially with those UTG ones.

Kind of annoying. I bought a NM trigger from Fulton Armory for $115.00. I get it and find it is made by Rock River.
So today I go to Rock River website and see the same trigger on sale for $65.00. So I bought another one. |

You guys should try the Proctor Way of the Gun sling on this, very light and effective. I use the BCM QD on the left side and the Damage Industries QD swivels-they are 1" like the sling.

Question-on the upcoming 7.62x39 version, it appears the mag will not be the traditional AK type? Can you guys advise on that and what are good mags quality wise.

Well looks like the only option SIG is giving me is to buy a replacement upper.

I thought that Sig's own materials said that it was absolutely fine to put an MCX upper onto a mil-spec lower and that they even talked about that as a selling point. If so, why would it damage the upper to do so.
