Sig Sauer Unveils New Kit for the SIG MCX Platform
Sig Sauer, a Swiss company, announced the addition of a new upper assembly for the SIG MCX platform to its catalog on May 1, 2024. This new iteration retains the characteristics of its predecessor but introduces enhancements that redefine its utility and performance in the field.
Constructed with a 6.75-inch cold-forged barrel, the MCX-RATTLER LT is designed to integrate with any M4 or AR15 spec lower assembly seamlessly. This compatibility highlights its versatile design, allowing various stocks and braces to be used thanks to a receiver extension delete stock adapter that employs a 1913 vertical rail system. Moreover, its dual rod recoil assembly replaces the traditional buffer system found in standard rifles, enhancing its structural integrity and operational smoothness.
The upper assembly is distinguished by an adjustable gas system optimized for suppressors, offering flexibility and improved performance when the MCX-RATTLER LT is used with different suppressor models. The quick-change barrel design facilitates easy swapping of calibers and barrel lengths and enhances the rifle’s adaptability in various operational scenarios.
A notable feature of this assembly is the integration of the QD Clutchlok Muzzle Device, compatible with the next-generation suppressor systems, SLX and SLH. This feature ensures rapid attachment and detachment, optimizing the firearm for tactical efficiency and stealth. The gas piston design of the MCX-RATTLER LT minimizes carbon fouling on critical parts, thus significantly extending the life of the assembly—up to 20,000 rounds before any parts need replacement.
Ergonomics and ease of use have not been overlooked. The MCX-RATTLER LT includes an ambidextrous charging handle with a gas deflector, enhancing its utility for right- and left-handed shooters. The tapered bolt design is engineered for reliability, surpassing traditional square lug M4 bolt designs in longevity and functionality.
Available for purchase at $1,799.99, the MCX-RATTLER LT upper assembly comes with a complete set of features, including a removable three-prong flash hider ready for suppressor attachment, further demonstrating its readiness to meet the demanding standards of modern tactical environments. It is available with free shipping in the contiguous 48 states for orders over $100, making it an accessible option for enthusiasts and professionals alike looking to upgrade or build their customized firearm setup.
With its enhanced features and compatibility with a range of MCX-SPEAR LT parts, the MCX-RATTLER LT represents an exciting addition to Sig Sauer’s catalog.
