I like the reduction in weight and drop in trigger.I don’t think the gen 3 is out yet. Not really any big changes either. Mostly just a slimmer handguard and probably including the “G” firing pin latch as stock. I have a Virtus and think it’s overhyped.
i only heard a lot of complaints about gas into face on those things. dunno if it`s worth the money/effort, really.I don’t think the gen 3 is out yet. Not really any big changes either.

I had heard that Gen 3 is a pound lighter, uses an AR trigger, and has a thinner handguard.It’s already out. Same as gen 2 with different stock.
If you ever want to sell let me know!I don’t think the gen 3 is out yet. Not really any big changes either. Mostly just a slimmer handguard and probably including the “G” firing pin latch as stock. I have a Virtus and think it’s overhyped.
You don’t want it since my name is already engraved on it. I keep it just because I already got the stamp and waited maybe 10 months for the 11.5 upper.If you ever want to sell let me know!
I don't like cleaning ARs too but I found an easier solution. I clean them after about 1k rounds or when I have absolutely nothing better to do, whichever comes first. They don't seem to mind.im thinking of changing my AR to piston driven as well. God I hate cleaning the AR.
Last I checked, the shops that converted barrels for LMTs were pretty sparse. And LMTs don’t have folding stocks.…
Other good options for piston would be LMT or PWS. I’d favor LMT just because AR barrels can be converted so you won’t run into supply issues like Sig.
but i always have a feel that all they do - for rifles -is a non-stop reinventing the bicycle, and then selling that new same bicycle at the price of an airplane.Some of those Sig rifles look cool.
There really isn’t anything special about the MCX compared to piston ARs unless you like that specific recoil system. Folding stock doesn’t matter since you can use something like a LAW folder unless you want to be able to shoot with it folded. Weight and balance with 16” is meh which is why everyone wants the 11.5.Last I checked, the shops that converted barrels for LMTs were pretty sparse. And LMTs don’t have folding stocks.
What about the MCX do you not care for? I understand they can be nose heavy spare barrels/uppers have been a bitch to source.
Not a huge fan of the law folder. It adds 1/2 pound, and you still have the girth of the buffer tube stocks folding over.There really isn’t anything special about the MCX compared to piston ARs unless you like that specific recoil system.

What I hate most is that barrels are only from Sig and in only one flavor. No options for contour, twist and etc. Also imagine qc taking a nosedive and you’re stuck with crap replacement parts.
