Sig MCX Conversion

[David Mccann]

i am curious as to how these guns are designed,modifiability, etc..cheers

[David Mccann]

tear that sucker apart and lets see its innards a bit..surely we can do something to pick up the pace of them pellets.

[David Mccann]

if we junk it, ill buy it off ya....cheers

That's what I'm talking about,lol!

I have handled one, but not shot one.

I still want one, just am not ready to jump that end of the pool yet.

My airgun addiction isn't down that semi auto road any more, at the moment.

It seems to only like the expensive Sig alloy pellets from what I gave read, and the air gun store owner where I handled one says.

On the plus side, the ergonomics are spot on for an ar-15 (I build them every now and then)the weight is nice.

But my wants are subject to change, as is everything.

[David Mccann]

Yea, I say gut it like a hog... Build it better, stronger, faster than before...like the six million dollar man.

[David Mccann]

Probably only like them alloy pellets cause it can't spit lead any faster than a ant crawls. Not knocking your gun sir, just funin a bit... Its a cool gun, I'd like to play with one for a bit....cheers

Hey guys, so apparently I purchased all of the item necessary to convert this gun to HPA, however there is a slight problem during the check out process.
Instead of purchasing Ninja PRO V2 Reg, I ended up purchasing a Ninja Standard adjustable regulator.

Mind sharing some thoughts?

Thank you for your time

They're very complicated, here's the guts to my MPX.  Also I tried an 1100psi reg'd Ninja on mine and I think I might have hit 600fps but they way they are they're not very modifiable.  I would like to see what they do if and when they come out with the pcp version.

[David Mccann]

holy cow.. that does look snaky in there. 6oo fps isnt too bad. if i had the xtra cash, id buy one to experiment on.. they seem cheap enough on price... but.... we are saving for a pcp compressor.. my brother and myself. thanks for the pics. definitely a diff set of parts than we are not accustomed to seeing around here... any idea on just what twist and length of the barrel??  cheers

[TleVta]

Those Sig pellets are on the pricey side, all right. Will shooting those alloys be OK in that barrel long term?
I may want an MPX later down the road.

[Old Chief]

I would sure think so. Sig had them in mind when developing the MCX/MPX.

[mcboon]

So I've successfully purchased all of the items and connected to my MCX, the bulk fill adaptor, Ninja 13cu/3000 psi tank, and the butt stock. However it only let me shoot once, then I can't shoot after, I have to constantly cock the gun then I can only shoot. Did I do something wrong by any chance or am I missing something?

 

[Djbriez]

Nope....I dont think youve done anything wrong....
First off...it's pellet picky ....I have success with the Winchester maximum velocity alloy pellets (4.32 gr)
Secondly, MAKE SURE you are using the tool to seat the pellets, and that they all are firmly in place
Lastly, (most importantly, as this was the reason mine was failing after every other round), MAKE SURE that the air tank is nice and tight!
I thought that mine was......gave it another mildly forceful 1/4 turn, and .....feeding problems went away!

I hope this helps you...fun gun when it cycles correctly.....not so much when it doesn't!

Thanks! I really appreciate it, I tried everything but my gun wasn't shooting at all, maybe it's just my luck. I'll probably just go with CO2 for now until I find the issue 👍

[PBguns]

They dump their plans of releasing a .25 cal PCP version?
Was supposed to be released this year.....anyone hear any updates?

[mcboon]

I've been doing a lot of diggings, inheard they stop doing the production due to some issues. I think they are not gonna make any PCP nor 0.22cal anymore.

[45Bravo]

I had actually called SIG a few weeks ago.
They have dropped all plans for .22&.25 in any of their air guns.

They are selling the .177 guns as fast as they can make them.
And in their foreseeable future, it's going to stay co2, with no HPA upgrade from SIG.

That is what I was told when I was connected to their airgun division. 


But gun manufacturers go where the money is.
We had a glock factory rep at the sheriffs range one day, he explicitly said there would NEVER be a single stack 9mm glock released, just the .380 (glock42).
5 months later, the glock43 hit the market.

If there is enough interest (and money to be made) they will do anything.

If they still keep selling the .177 guns well, we can only hope.
