MCX Gen3

I'm interested, as I'm sure most of us are, in getting my hands on a Spear. But I'm also interested in getting my hands on one of the new Gen 3 MCXs that has been teased now a few times along with the Spear.

I'm wondering if anyone has seen any good information/details on the non-Spear Gen 3 MCX?

It'd better have an ambi bolt release, that's all I care about.

SIG has the latest MCX manual out that has illustrations of what might be Gen 3 MCX parts as some parts shown in diagrams are not in current MCXs.

There isn't any time line on when the Gen 3 MCX will be out. The Gen 3 will be a pound lighter than the Virtus, be able to use mil-spec triggers and have an even sturdier rail than the Virtus.

My view is that SIG is trying to sell Virtus parts to get ready for Gen. 3 MCXs. The pound lighter Gen 3 will have a lighter barrel than the Virtus. Hence, SIG has Virtus uppers for sale that will get rid of Virtus barrels and handguards to get ready for the next generation's changes.

The funny thing to me is the Virtus is about a pound heavier than the legacy.

So the weight issue seems to have come full circle back to where we started.

Maybe they'll do a version with a Sig add a rail handguard. Ok, that part is a joke, but I would buy one if they did.

I am considering an LE Virtus in 16 inch. Part of me wants to wait but I love the LE version that has the Chromelined barrel.

I have a black LE Virtus with 16 inch and chrome lined 11.5” barrel I’ve been thinking of selling (fantastic shooter, just need the funds for a medical bill). Were you still interested?

I can guarantee that the MCX Gen3 will be launched next week, since I just bought an MCX Gen2.

I just bought more legacy parts, so you are probably right
