I have one, very fun to shoot. I should have bought some additional mags when I had the chance.

If you're buying one new it probably has the updated bolt system. If it doesn't, a simple call to their customer service line will get one in the mail to you wothin minutes.

I have about 1500 rounds through it. I only had problems when the defective E clip failed. The spring broke and it wouldn't cycle properly. A friend was shooting it at the time and manually cycled and fired another 10 shots. Other than that, no cycle problems, even with subsonic rounds.

Very easy to disassemble and clean. I'm very happy with it.


ETA Ill buy two of your 25 round mags (and maybe a drum).

I did some research on it yesterday. I saw a post on SigArms.com about the bolt system problem with the clips. The guy tells me it's never been shot so I'm guessing it's fairly new and should have the redesigned bolt. In a picture he texted me it still has the paper wrap around the grip. From all I'm reading it seems to be a very well-liked gun and very reliable. Only thing I don't care for is the "Swiss Style" fore-grip. You can buy bolt on rail pieces that attach to both sides and the bottom of the fore-grip but they're very short and I don't think I can get a vertical grip and a bipod to fit on the lower one that Sig makes. There are some aftermarket quad-rail replacements but the cheapest I could find was $170.00

If he decides he wants to trade, I'm pretty sure I'm going to take him up on his offer.

Wafer, I'll let you know about the mags. If I get it, I'll consider selling 1 of the 50's and possibly 2 (more than likely 1) of the 25's.

Here's the picture. It's the one all the way to the right in the front (Dude has quite a stash, huh?)
