SIG's new ranch rifle, aka the MCX-REGULATOR Login/Join

Brought back to life again?

Well from my vista behind our evergreen Iron Curtain, this thing within this restricted state isn't any more compliant than a standard AR. Here in imprisoned WA state a rifle being semi-auto coupled with a drop box mag like this SIG can't have the handguard (tsk, shrouds the barrel...naughty, naughty) or the threaded barrel (because we all know flash hiders make any rifle more evil). So right out of the box it's a non-starter. I'm so glad; I can now spend three large on something else, like paying my upcoming fall property tax bill. <sarcasm off>

If Keltec came out with this, people would shit all over it.

I got into the 556 series pretty heavy, back in the day.
I still have a bad taste in my mouth (and wallet) after the way SIG treated that series of rifles.
I can see this going the same way.

This thing uses a standard MCX LT upper so it will be no less reliable than any other MCX LT. Bolt carrier, bolt, recoil assembly are all "standard", so nothing weird. I think that's the whole point. Versus the AR "rifle" lowers with custom bolt carriers and recoil systems.

I'm sure the version for ban states will have the muzzle brake pinned on, taking the barrel threads out of the equation. Mag release can be changed to a "bullet button" or similar.

Compared to "featureless" AR's with finned pistol grips and other absurdities, this looks objectively better. But no I wouldn't buy one instead of a regular MCX LT because I live in a free state.

3K? Does it come with a couple ounces of whatever Sig is smoking?
