Good Luck Team SIG SAUER… USA
I own and love my SIG MCX. The SPEAR generation is the best so far with many more variations to come. The Eugene Stoner design has evolved over decades to become what it is today. With the use of suppressors as standard equipment and NFA wait times decreasing there is a need for a next generation system. The refinements and contributions KAC, Noveske, LMT, Geissele, BCM, Colt, and many others are immeasurable to get the design to where it is today. The SIG MCX is designed from the start to be used suppressed, and that is what sets it appart. It is the only carbine that addressed some key issues for the future. The two key improvements are Cam Path Insert and replaceable steel feed ramps. Those two features will keep the carbine in spec longer and has been our biggest culperate for malfunctions over time. Once the anodize coating is worn through, the aluminum wears away faster causing the upper receiver to be out of spec. The worn out cam slot changes the timing of the action and carrier starts to induce lateral movement to the bolt carrier inducing malfunctions. Variable ammo and timing of action can induce feed issue. Cartidges can start peening the aluminum under the barrel extension over time, once feed ramps are worn malfunctions start to multiply. Suppressed weapons even with adjustable gas blocks hammer on internals and these key areas inside the receiver. The low back pressure suppressors of the now have helped tame and reduce timing issues that help minimize upper receiver wear, But the steel inserts added to the major wear areas is the best and biggest game changer for modern suppressed weapons in my opinion. Daniel Horner won the USPSA Multi-gun national championship with an Sig SPEAR-LT in late July. Wish Team Sig USA good luck at the IPSC world rifle championship.
