Got the email, have to send one in since I have the Geiselli trigger. Supposed to be an improvement overall to the system. No worries! Now the .300 will have an SSA! I see it as a positive to maintain product improvements to your rifle.

What? I did not get any email. Maybe I did not register my MCX. Damn. I guess I will contact them.

Got the email as well. I was signed up to Sig's news letter but never registered my MCX before now.

I am affected. What's the deal with calling customer service if an after market trigger was installed?
I can't get through customer service is a solid busy tone. |

I kept getting a busy tone too. I just kept trying and eventually got through.

View Quote Sounds like there's an oddball issue with certain popular FCGs and they are fixing the issue instead of just saying nor to use that trigger. But that's pure speculation. |

I was told that they would replace my current Geiselli with one designed (SSA) for the MCX as told to me and send the current one in the gun back to you. Since I have one with the Geiselli trigger, I have to send in the entire gun, otherwise just the carriage (BCG) The new carriage is redesigned with a firing pin safety and captured springs.

Not certain, I would call them or do the registration to get the return started. Not sure if they are only replacing the Geiselli's or any aftermarket with a MCX specific SSA?

Maybe I'm dumb, but going to the link SIG provided does not get me to "initiate the process" as stated in their email. It seemingly only allows me to register a firearm that I registered long ago with SIG, and I see no button or instructions or link to "initiate the process" to have SIG ship me a return box. I know SIG knows I own the MCX, otherwise they wouldn't have sent me the initial message. I'll wait a while until the dust settles and try calling SIG.

He also said they'll be installing a Gessiele SSA trigger that's designed to work with the new assembly for free, and they'll send my MBT back in the box with the rifle so I can install it on another M4. His words, exactly. So, now I just wait for my box to show up and ship the rifle back. |

Very interesting... not sure how I feel about the trigger being a dedicated component, what about liability down the road if the SSA is swapped out. I personally only run MBT triggers now, as I like the consistency across platforms... |

Just got off the phone. Got to send in my rifle as I have a super Tricon installed. They will try and make it work with the new carrier. If not they will replace it with a Geissele trigger that does work and send my old one back. Kind of sucks as I spent money on this trigger just for this rifle as I did for the MPX (told to remove it now). Plus side is I may get a free trigger out of the deal? Now I need to get another rifle for the super tricon

Well I am glad, this means I'll end up with spare parts after all!
a whole extra carrier assembly which works fine! |
|
|
so I just talked to them. I did put aftermarket trigger in so they are sending return box for entire firearm.
Otherwise, he said it is just a bolt carrier group issue. Not sure what that is all about, but will be parting with my MCX for a while, I guess. Sort of pisses me off. Not sure I will be buying Sigs anymore. |

Just got off phone. They will be replacing my ALG ACT with the Geissele SSA as mentioned above, plus a 50 gift card. They're sending a box with rifle cutouts and a fedex label on it. They'll also return my ALG ACT.
He said that most after market triggers will not work with the new carrier assembly until the trigger manufacturers make one specifically designed for the MCX (if/when). But Geissele has one. He also mentioned that they may be able to get my ALG ACT to work since it is a spin off of Geissele, which would be OK with me because I love the trigger. All in all, good on Sig for stepping up big on this. I waited on hold for 20 minutes but was on the phone with the guy for less than 3 minutes. I really like the redesigned carrier as well, it is eliminating weak points and they're pinning the recoil spring plate so your nutnfancy's of the world don't break their guns due to improper assembly. |

They've uncovered and are correcting flaws. I'm happy about that. Each must make their own decisions, of course, but this sort of CS is why I would buy from them in the future..., but I'm still sore about the 556Xi debacle. ![]() |

What's with this part of the email; "*Serial numbers 63C000044 – 63C003702 – Contact SIG Customer Service for instructions.". Is there a special issues affecting those serial numbers? Mine falls in that range. The CS persons tone changed a bit when I mentioned this

I had one in that range, no aftermarket trigger so just he carriage replacement.

Didn't think about it at the time. I was to busy bitching about the inconvenience and how do I ship the rifle and what if the fedex worker says no guns etc...

Mine is in that range, it's not self regulating it has a variable selector. The bolt does not have gas rings on it, and I have no clue about if that upper is cut for the auto trip sear. |

Alright, just got off the phone with them. First the guy said they were Cabelas serial numbers, then I told him that I bought it from a different shop, as new. Then he seemingly got confused and just said I have to send it in due to the trigger. Not sure what that serial number block was for then.
And now I'm wondering about AR15 parts interchangeability with the new carrier, it was nice having the ability to use AR15 bolt and firing pin in an emergency. |

Well I first found out about this today on here. Then my buddy contacted me. The Firearm Blog put that info out. The carbine on the Firearm Blog is mine. How the hell did they get a photo of my MCX. Anyway, my gun shop just called to tell me also.
Sig is sending the box. I have to ship the whole carbine because I installed an aftermarket trigger. Glad they are fixing it for free. My MCX |

This doesn't affect the Mpx? I got the email too but I own an Mpx which is SBR too.
I guess it doesn't affect the Mpx 9mm/.40/.357 |

Based off the photos, the nub for the charging handle interface looks much larger.
I'm glad to see that this site at least doesn't have the extreme butt-hurtedness that a lot of others do currently. Sure, I'm pissed off that I have to trust some mouth-breathing moron with an NFA item. But I get a free awesome trigger and $50 to the Sig store, though I don't know what I'll spend it on. But geez, other sites are all "HERMAGERD, how can you clean it if you can't remove the recoil spring??!??? Captured retaining pin? What if I need to replace it??" I'm spitballing here, but I bet that you'll be able to disassemble it. And I haven't yet heard many bitch about the captured retaining pin in the M27 IAR. |

It's funny. I never registered my gun (MCX pistol) or anything like that. I'm not sure how SIG Sauer USA found out that I had it and I got the email.

When I was talking to the, today I forgot to mention I have a CMG trigger. Guess I'll call them back in the morning

I guess this will add another 2+ years to when we actually get replacement parts we can buy.

So let's say hypothetically someone's mcx in that serial range has something in it that shouldn't be there does that someone have to send it in?
|
|
|
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
|

I have an SBR with an aftermarket trigger. This should be interesting.

It's just odd to have a range like that and then not tell us why it needs special attention. This rifle is my favorite one right now, too. |

I'll spitball too... It could be the quality of a particular batch of material they used. (bad steel, etc.)
That's something they wouldn't want to tell people, especially on top of a recall for the BCG. |

Well I will contact cs in the morning as I didn't hear about it until it was too late to call today. I also have sbr'd it along with aftermarket trigger so sounds like its going to be taking a trip. I was reading on the sig forum that I don't have to notify ATF or fill out a form xx? since its going to be leaving the state for a little while. Can anyone confirm that is correct and no one needs to be notified?
