The Sig Sauer MCX Spear delivers military-grade performance in 7.62x51mm NATO, combining the proven MCX platform with full-power rifle capabilities. This pistol configuration features a 13-inch barrel optimized for maximum velocity while maintaining compact dimensions for tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
Built on Sig's battle-tested MCX operating system, the Spear incorporates a short-stroke gas piston design that runs cleaner and cooler than direct impingement systems. The adjustable gas block allows fine-tuning for various ammunition weights and suppressor use. Unlike standard AR-10 platforms, the MCX Spear requires no buffer tube, enabling true folding stock compatibility and more compact storage.
Key Features
- 7.62x51mm NATO chambering with 20-round magazine capacity
- 13-inch barrel with 1:10 twist rate for optimal bullet stabilization
- SLX/SLH quick-detach flash hider compatible with Sig suppressors

The MCX Spear's short-stroke piston system reduces fouling in the receiver while maintaining consistent bolt velocity across temperature extremes. Field testing demonstrates reliable function with match-grade ammunition producing sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards. The platform excels in precision rifle applications where compact dimensions matter, from vehicle operations to designated marksman roles.
