Introducing the MCX-REGULATOR, using the heart and soul of the legendary MCX platform combined with a proprietary lower design, all built around shooter ergonomics comes a whole new level of MCX modularity. Never before has a ranch rifle possessed the DNA of a rifle used by elite Special Forces operators around the world.

The MCX-REGULATOR is an aluminum frame rifle with a gas-piston operating system, a Magpul™ SGA Mossberg 500/590 traditional stock combined with a redesigned lower receiver compatible with all MCX upper receivers. It has a fully ambidextrous magazine release, safety selector, and bolt catch. The MCX-REGULATOR ships with a two-stage match trigger, a cold hammer-forged carbon steel barrel, a SIG-designed muzzle brake, and is available in 7.62x39 and 5.56 calibers. The MCX-REGULATOR offers a built in Arca Rail for easy tripod mounting and ships with a 10-round magazine.

MCX-REGULATOR FEATURES:

* Reduced Weapons Visual-IR Signature GEN II NiR FDE Cerakote

* Magpul™ SGA Stock - Mossberg 500/590/590A1

* Fully Ambidextrous Mag Release, Safety Selector, and BoltCatch

* SIG-Designed Compensating Muzzle Brake

* Receiver Integrated ARCA Rail

* Lower Receiver Compatible with All MCX Upper Receivers

* 3 MOA ROMEO2 Red Dot Installed on RX2 model

It looks interesting.

I wonder why, though, 7.62×39 rather than, say, 300 Blackout. Sort-of cheap ammo? Otherwise I would think that a 300 BLK chambering would allow for more ammunition options.

Could be a good alternative to the hard to obtain Ares SCR for those in ban states.

So it’s an AR-ish rifle with only 1 evil feature for California, the detachable mag ? Cool story. I’ll stick with my AR rifles that have not been emasculated and my 223 bolt guns with much fewer moving parts for precision shooting.

I get that it's probably marketed to folks living with "feature" restrictions. Maybe it will be successful in those areas.

It will not win Beautiful Rifle awards.

Looks like a modernized KelTec SU16
Betting it'll have a fairly high MSRP

An article I found claimed $3k.

I kinda like it, but I certainly don't $3k like it.

ETA: Here's the article: SIG Sauer MCX Regulator [First Look]

quote:

SIG is promoting the rifle to ranchers and people who work the land, because as we all know the American farmer and rancher are known for having $3,000 MSRP to throw down on the latest big iron.

[Emphasis added]

So it's not evil like an AR.

Three thousand dollars is downright insulting.

SIG-Sauer has grown too big for their britches.

That's insanity.
I was thinking mid $1k range, definitely not over $2k.
DOA.

Has nothing I need on my ranch. And it is ugly, and costs too much. Big "nope" from me.

I kind of like it but don't like it. I definitely don't like it at 3K, that's insane.

Fightlite makes a lower for an AR upper and is much cheaper and I prefer it instead.

I mean, it's actually MORE insulting than the look of the gun, which from looking at it just DID NOT seem possible with I started from the top of this thread.

Ugly and serves no purpose in the American market. 3k is hilarious.

...I don't hate it. It's oddly intriguing for some reason. I kinda get ppsh-41 vibes. $3k is a no go though.

The fightlight SCR is 1300 and in stock. If Sig had it priced in that range, it might get some traction.

Holy Shit! I was looking for the price at posting and couldn't find. Man, these @#%^% are really something. Announcing new hardware and making it unattainable to most.

SIG-Sauer would be very far from the first company to trade on its name and reputation, but to accuse them of such in all respects would be unfair, especially given SIG's success in producing fine firearms, not only for the police and consumer market, but also for the U.S. military, where it has had great success over the past few years.

But, in certain respects, trading on their name and reputation is what seems to be going on with the pricing of products such as the one in question. Certainly there are potential buyers out there with money to burn, and if SIG-Sauer wishes to cater to this rarefied segment, they can do so. Perhaps SIG doesn't feel beholden to the common man, but unless I'm missing something, we are the people who have driven their market over the decades. Government contracts and police purchases come and go, but the American shooter abides.

I saw it with no context and said I’ll take one in black!!!!
Then saw the price and could not believe it. Complete nonsense!!!!

I agree. Very interesting concept, but not at that price. I thought the regular MCX was pricey, but holy cow!
