The SIG MCX is a carbine series designed and manufactured by SIG Sauer, featuring a short-stroke gas piston system, carried over from the SIG MPX submachine gun. It is made in both selective-fire (assault rifle) and semi-automatic-only configurations.
Design
The SIG MCX series features a short-stroke gas piston system to reduce recoil and improve the reliability of the weapon. The MCX features a system that allows for conversion between 5.56×45mm NATO, .300 AAC Blackout and 7.62×39mm ammunition, using standard 5.56×45mm STANAG magazines for 5.56×45mm NATO and .300 AAC Blackout, and specially designed STANAG-compatible magazines for 7.62×39mm.
