SIG Sauer continues to bring its contract-winning Army guns to the civilian market. The latest–the SIG Sauer MCX-SPEAR rifle, the civilian variant of the U.S. Army’s XM7 rifle, winner of the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) program. The civilian MCX-SPEAR comes chambered in 7.62 NATO or 6.5 Creedmoor, with 277 SIG Fury on the way.
SIG Sauer MCX-SPEAR Rifle Hits Civilian Market
“The SIG SAUER-MCX family of rifles has become synonymous with innovative engineering and premium quality in a reliable and proven carbine.” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales. “The next generation has arrived with the new MCX-SPEAR, offering enhanced AR-10 capabilities in the MCX platform for the first time on the commercial market.”
The adaptable, multi-caliber platform features rear and side non-reciprocating charging handles. It comes with a six-position, folding Magpul SL-M stock as well. Integrated, stainless steel QD mounts on the lower receiver and handguard pair with M-LOK attachments. Fully ambidextrous firing controls, including safety, bolt-catch and magazine release add to the system’s utility. A Matchlite Duo trigger, two-position adjustable gas valve, full-length Picatinny rail and user-interchangeable barrel round out this battle-ready package.
The MCX-SPEAR ships with one, 20-round magazine. For even more info, please visit sigsauer.com.

Editor’s Notes:
SIG made big news last year with the launch of the MCX-SPEAR-LT. While the LT variant offers up 300 BLK, 5.56 and 7.62×39, the new MCX-SPEAR brings more thump, chambered in 7.62×51, 6.5 Creedmoor and eventually 277 SIG Fury. So now SIG brings greater capability, much like the NGSW program called for, to the civilian market. Between these two platforms, you now have a plethora of options to rock the Army’s newest weaponry. We expect SIG to sell them as fast as they can ship them.
