Nathanb Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Haven't seen many of these around and happened upon one the other day. Since I've been jonesing for a pistol caliber carbine and have been on the fence about what to do coming across this was a sign. I have to call sig tomorrow and order some mags since they aren't readily available except through them and see about a telescoping stock so I can file my form one and get that process started. Took it out today and it's an absolute blast to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrmblr Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Nice! I've been curious. Keep us informed on break-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thanks I've got a couple hundred rounds through it. My only negatives are its meant to be an sbr and it only co see with one mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I have one as well. Dropped a Timney 3lb trigger in it and I haven't had a single issue. Also replaced the grip with a magpul one and threw a Cmore on the top. Shoots very soft to say the least. Really fun gun but could use a stock. Can would be nice as well.

lawmangr Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Very nice. I think I may have to more seriously consider one - I've been thinking about it for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) I ordered more mags and the telescoping stock today. Once e forms starts cooperating I'll file my form 1. Stock is ten weeks back ordered so I'll have it about the same time as my stamp Well form 1 is in. Wait time is looking like about 110 days.

Nathanb Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 So here I sit with a tac stamp in hand for an sbr and sig still has not delivered my stock. When I called the other day they said they were filling orders from May and June and I didn't order until August. I also noticed they have no issues sending out the carbines with this stock on it before filling back orders. I think this whole ordeal has really soured me from buyign anymore sig products. If the government is faster Than sigs customer service that's not something I'm willing to deal with again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I received mine about 2 weeks ago. Love it! Seems to favor the lighter bullets from what I can see. Accuracy with 147gr at 25yrd is good but definitely better with the 115gr. YMMV. Just installed an Ergo Deluxe grip and SD3G trigger tonight. Will be a few weeks though before I can put it through the paces again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the government is faster Than sigs customer service that's not something I'm willing to deal with again SIG does have a third adjustable stock that it just released but it looks like it sold out of the initial batch of those. Hopefully that supplier is a bit better at restocking. Also, Scott Springer is making an adapter for the folding MagPul AK stocks, +10 magazine extensions, and a barrel shroud.

Nathanb Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) I bought this for the fact that I wanted the wire collapsible stock like the mp5. There is another company making them but they are 350 bucks. Which is almost double the cost of the one from sig. If I would have known I would have this issue I just would have built or bought a 9mm ar. It's just disappointing at this point Alma what's the third one look like? I don't want a folding stock. I do t like the look of it Edited December 19, 2015 by Nathanb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Does the Springer barrel shroud bring the OAL of the barrel to 16" if pinned and welded? Would be an interesting way to turn the pistol into effectively a stampless SBR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will also have it available in his typically array of colors (blue, red, black) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I just saw that Lantec has a brake threaded for the MPX. Expensive but it's hard to find good brakes in that 13.5x1 LH http://www.lantac-usa.com/AR15-M16-M4-Rifle-Accessories/DGN9MMC.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechnology Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I shot a friend's MPX recently that has a Giessele trigger in it; it was very nice. A lot of fun to shoot. I will definitely pass along the new Springer extensions.. Anyone else had any luck sourcing magazines?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Nope they sell out in minutes. I've got four Alma I've got a gem tech gm9 on order for the business end too. I think that will be more fun than the Lantac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwx40x40 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Are these locked breech vs blowback? If so , I would assume the are softer shooting than 9mm AR platform. Anyone shot these side by side with 9 Ar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 In pistol form it's really soft. I'll let you know rifle form when I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangerdug Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Are these locked breech vs blowback? If so , I would assume the are softer shooting than 9mm AR platform. Anyone shot these side by side with 9 Ar? It is Sig's version of MP-5, with an AR style operating system. It is cleaner system then an AR platform, but recoil is the same. They are a blast to shoot. They do have an issue with wearing under the charging handle, and sig does not have a (Good) solution to fix it yet. Honestly it is a small cosmetic issue.

alma Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 They shoot really soft. I was very surprised at a group I shot off of a triple tap at the range the other day. 2/3 size USPSA target in use. Trigger is a basic Timney 3lb drop in.

Nathanb Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 For those interested sig finally got off their ass and shipped me a stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 For those interested sig finally got off their ass and shipped me a stock. that's where I think this set up shines. it seems like an ideal SBR, like a modern MP5 without the silly high price. I keep thinking about adding to my stamp collection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Well I don't know about silly price. 1300 gun 240 stock 140 3 mags 200 tax stamp That's 1880 before an optic. But it is awesome I'm just glad I had an rmr to put on it for now. I like it so it might stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 See Springer's solution above to avoid tax stamp and save a bit of money on the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatz11 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The MPX may be expensive, but it does offer ergonomic controls and modularity. I'll take those features for the same entry price as a Pakistani built HK pistol. I have always wanted an MP5 style gun, but I can justify the cost for what you get other than cool looks and nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
