Correction to Sig Optic information on the Romeo8. Made in America. Emitter in made in South Korea, Circuit boards are assembled in Washington and housings are made in Oregon.

Some would say that those flash suppressor tines aren’t short, but actually perfectly average.

If you've ever felt superior because you had an MCX and no one else did, go ahead and hit that subscribe button.

This guy needs to be a playable operator in MW2; just imagine running around wearing his dope flannels

For anyone wondering what the optics riser was that the Romeo 8T is sitting on, it’s a KDG SIDELOK Universal Riser Long. Never heard of them before but they’re apparently good to go!

-makes a new rifle in a new caliber for the future of military applications -releases a 5.56 version because they know it's more likely to be used in both markets

Can’t wait for Sig to produce 5 of these a year 🔥

Just want to tell you how much I appreciate these openings in the last year or so. Not only do you show a LOT of actual firing of the weapon, but you do it with very appealing military-esq tactics and with absolutely gorgeous filmography.

The biggest issue with our issued MCX Virtus 11.5's is the weight, compared to our M4's. Also the SIG suppressors weren't available at the time so we're using AAC M2000's. Most of us looked for ways to save weight wherever we can. The rifle itself shoots well and cleaner with a can than a DI gun. We also use the Romeo 8 sight which when I first saw it i was skeptical about, however it's pretty decent. Great review!

I think at this point it's just that SiG basically has nothing to lose for the civ market given how they pretty much got massive fund from a lot of mil contract. I wouldn't be surprised if they will also finally let out the MCX in 308 in the near future. I recall the working prototype does exist.

Thanks for the great content, Garand Thumb & team. I really appreciate your efforts to provide informative, entertaining content focused on firearms, their handling, safety, etc. It's great stuff, instantly accessible to new viewers and regardless of the topic, you set a new standard for review channels.

You are one of the most honest youtube gun reviewers I follow. You know what you like we know what you like. And we hear you tell us the problems with a gun as well. Keep up the amazing work. And you really are shapping what my rent a gun, range will have if I'm able to get ahold of them lol. I'm working on going to SDI then I'm getting a class 7 ffl. Then I want to open a shooting range were people can rent for range use only things the gov doesnt want people to have. Machine guns, sbrs etc. So you can find out if you want to go through the work to get one or to just have a good time. Under supervision of a trained employee

Sig: This is our new, state of the art fighting rifle that costs more that most people mortgage! What do you think? GT: Rattle can go PSSST!

The big question is: Will it pass the mud and ice test without any failure? 😉

@Garand Thumb Just got to say brother, your videos are so well put together, informative, and full of comedy. Been watching for years, and they have always been great. Appreciate what you do, and how you go about doing it.

Some of the best reviews in any category. You hit a perfect mix of gritty facts and light humor. I've enjoyed all content, thanks. Liked and subbed.

Until you review a slingshot I can't afford a damn thing you touch, but I just can't get enough of this channel. The information presented, the top shelf memes, and the awesome production quality. From watching the Drill Sergeant shoot watermelons on TV as a child to watching you shoot condoms on KZfaq as an adult, I've lived a full life.

In the growing world of KZfaq marketing, GT’s disclosures continue to be incredibly refreshing and appreciated.

Thanks for the education and experience, for some of us that may never get into contact with a fire arm these videos are very informative.

Great review. Just got my Spear LT, love it.👍

As a kid in college, I love watching your videos where you break down each part of the gun and explain its mechanics. It is an easy way for me to learn about all different types set ups and platforms. Thank you for your service.

Thank you for remembering Gen 1 MCXs!!! The rifle even Sig has forgotten. The least modular "modular" rifle, with nothing but discontinued parts. Not bitter at all.

Loved the dad advice haha. Btw I picked up on soon coming training. Hope to hear more soon! Totally down for that! Loved the new range pictures. Congratulations!

Watched this video numerous times over the past few months. Finally have one of these coming, a 16" version that'll be in tomorrow. Pretty excited...first Sig rifle in my collection.

Man, last time I was this early my parents called me an accident!!

As a "Spear"-Light compared to the usual Spear/XM5/"Spear-Heavy", the lack of the side charging handle is kinda strange. Like one of the interesting things of the NGSW bid being removed from the scaled down version is just weird.

Probably the best intro I’ve ever seen in a gun review video, that music made it amazing

Thank you for your descriptive and well informed video.

i work at the NH facility where i make the barrels for sig rifles, glad to hear that it has pleased the flannel father.

Love the camo job!!! The MC Arid sling is a nice touch.

I own a virtus and am not disappointed to see these improvements. I had a hard time making it my main rifle because of the handguard, weight, and trigger compatibility. Still keeping my Virtus though, it's a great rifle but it needed these changes to stay near the top.

I literally just picked up a virtus patrol 3 weeks ago. And now I'm kicking myself! Great video!

I'll stick with the AR platform just because it's so hard to get some sig parts and their prices can be really high. I'd love to have one if it was more affordable, but that's why the AR platform is so popular right now. Pros and cons to everything.

Ah, so THIS is what the Army is actually going to adopt, dope

That stock looks really hooky. Changing out my minimalistic stock because I got it caught on my chest rig strap during a training session, and that stock reminds me of it.

Picked up the LT 7.62x.39 and I love it, I’m thinking about ordering a 5.56 bolt head so I can swap in and out. I love that it can just handle x.51 or blackout or even 6.5 creed more and the .277 fury, it’s just awesome

Love the review. I have the old SRD556-QD, it also has a taper thread with locking mech. Has never failed me on ar builds, cmr 30 sbr, and even a 5.45 krink sbr.

I'm curious if this was the rifle that was being rumored compete against the run of 416s in use with CAG. Given the LVAW has seen some use, HK's bad customer support, and some advances in both DI and piston guns since 2004, something like this appears to be more suppressor friendly than the 416.

That is a really sweet rifle for sure, also I dig that paint job you did, very clean looking.

Such a cool 🔫 man. I love the look of it, and how it looks with a scope and extra attachments. Sig did a great job with this bad boy.

A really good rifle, both in looks and in functionality. It really looks like the definitive evolution of the M4 and with a few bits of refinement and some time to settle, it will probably end up being the new iconic AR platform rifle. Definetly a bad flash hider but for how good of a suppressor mount it is, it doesn't even matter. Suppressors are pretty much a necessity and SIG did a really good job on that matter. I'd prefer a wider charging handle but that's about it. Really great weapon.

So after watching this channel for a year or two now,, I actually want to say thanks, I am turning 20 in a couple of months and decided to join the Millitary and try to join a Special forces regiment after doing basic etc. you have been a huge inspiration for me even if your content isnt related to active duty...

I blame Garand Thumb for my recent purchase of a a brand new PMCX Spear LT 556N. Sig owes him a commission. Now I need to get an FFL so I can add all the stuff that I want to; without having to wait for a Tax stamp.

that intro was absolutely insane, just incase you forgot just how much of a badass garand thumb really is

A great review of the Sig MCX rifle. I'm so glad to see the improvement to a piston gas system, despite the additional weight. Definitely a game changer with a suppressor. As always, thank you!

You're the only one I know that continuously does a full disclosure. Real talk. And I (we all) appreciate it. 👍👍

THANKS YOU FOR SHARING THIS Video

Looks so good, thanks for the review ❤

Love me some SIG's. Became a fan of them since the P226 9mm, still my favorite handgun to this day, and have loved their stuff since.

I recall when the virtus was obtainable for like half price what people are trying to charge now, I passed on 1 for 1700, got mpx for like 16 new with tax

I run the same shaker cup. I feel close to greatness this morning.

Love your videos "makes it easy to INSERT!" Keep them coming, no pun intended.

I appreciate this guy disclosing that he's in on the SIG train.

This is such a beautiful gun, I hope it exceeds the success that came before it

I enjoyed watching the very interesting content. Thank you.

I always love watching your videos.

I've honestly haven't been doing too great but seeing your content really has taken my mind off doing some regrettable shit. Thank you so much

I have a Virtus and I'm thankful that I'm not missing out on too much. So I'll just buy more ammo and keep training until the MCX 4 comes out lol.

Good on you Mr Thumb for speaking up about GBRS and others pushing these products without the disclosure

Love watching your stuff, clear, concise and jam packed with info. I wish I was still 'in'. It's a far cry from an SLR with 4 mags of 20 and a 50 round bandolier of 5 round clips if you were lucky. At times I'd have given my back teeth for an Armalite and loads of lightweight 5.56 rounds !

I am really coming around and liking the Spear more and more that I see of it. Thanks for the video!

I’m sure it will only cost $3,500 when it’s actually in stock.

I've seen SIG getting into the mexican navy too. Mexican marines use the 516 as standard rifle and the Special Operations Unit (UNOPES) have been seen with both the MCX AND the MPX at this year parade.

Have to admit. That Epic opening sequence got me so pumped, I had to rewind it and watch it a second time, but this is me pausing the second play through to comment on how pumped it got me. Sitting here on the toilet at 8:30 in the morning ready to kick ass.

I love this channel, man. I’ve learned so much within the past few months.

As a proud Virtus owner, it does kind of suck that I no longer have the latest and greatest, that being said, as a Sig fan, I want to see Sig continue to improve, and this definitely improved on my biggest complaint about the Virtus, which is it's thick handguards, and heavy weight. That being said, at least the weight reduces recoil a bit which is nice. And adding the DD forward grip to the Virtus made it way more ergonomic and pleasant to shoot. I will definitely own the Spear someday though.

Thank you you always have it on lock down boss man skills thank you

DOD has already contracted H&K 416 and SIG ... that ship has left the docks a long time ago with H&K and the order numbers for Sig is to replace all front line unit .. 82nd, 101, 173, all of USSOC .

Dropped the post hike nachos and beer, and voila, Mr. Thumb drops something equally amazing.

I love your point about FN and the SCAR at the end, beautiful rifle left to go to waste

You got a hold of one really quick.

Beautiful rifle, i love SIG.

I will never have money because of this channel

16:05 Arisaka came out with clamps for different handguard models that addresses this issue. It's probably not as solid as the actual handguard screws on the Spear LT but it feels pretty good. I've got one on my MCX and handguard deflection is now very minimal.

Ugh this has my drooling! Omg can’t wait for this rifle

Nailed the intro, it was like the first cup of coffee in the morning!

Great review! Ive honestly never been a huge Sig fan. But this looks pretty sweet. Hopefully the actually produce enough to fulfill demand.

So 3 years from now you'll be able to find it at MSRP just as the Gen 4 is coming out.

Always gonna love these reviews as is, but I wish sometimes you reviewed the rifles as they come from the factory. Triggers in particular

Lovin' the Unity Tactical riser at 6:13.

His opening cinematic scenes are always top notch!

Is it just me or is it better when he does reviews out in the field? anyway, I love it. Keep it up, it looks like I’m gonna have to sell one of my guns and get one of those MCX spear LT, they’re just sexy.

I've been thinking about getting a shorter system for a truck/home defense gun with a suppressor and with tons of options available to build from. However I am liking this new offering from Sig!! It appears that my local shop is going to be taking more of my money... but wondering about going 300BO since I already have a nice 5.56 rig.....

If we're going to talk about the MCX, we of course have to talk about....the MCX. Never change, flannel daddy! Great review.

I love my mcx taclite(the one that was sold with an 8 inch barrel and a 12 inch handguard for handguard over suppressor use) in 300blk And I'll probably get a spear lt too. Fantastic guns.

I might be one of the few but I'm glad we are finally starting to make the switch from DI to piston especially for suppressed weapons which is all I shoot these days.

The original handguard was definitely a problem. Every time I picked one up it just felt massive. I have small hands and I had quite a struggle getting a good fighting grip on it. Glad to see they've changed that.

Dad advise on point on this one! Good to see Sig keep pushing forward.

The MIL/LEO version should be the Commercial Version. 👏🏻

I always wondered what I would choose to watch...NFL pregame or Garand Thumb...now I know. I don't care if I can watch GT later, I'm watching it now.

Really need one of these, what a package

I was thinking of getting a mk18, but wow does this appeal to me 🔥

A friend and I were talking about the Army's decision to go to the new cartridge. We think it would be interesting to see the same technology that went into the 277 Fury in 5.56 and push the limits on pressure and push a heavier bullet.

Really cool rifle, and I love that paint job.

Gaz loves these SIG platform ARs

sig are taking over they really have a winning strategy

I think this caliber variant is going to be favored over the larger one.

Really interested in the future development for this weapon system

Thank you for addressing the FN issues and not following up with anything related to the SCAR!!

I love the MCX! If I could afford even one MCX not to mention have an AR15-sized and AR10-sized MCX with multiple uppers in multiple calibers, I would do that! Unfortunately, the MCX is NOT the best answer for most of us!!! WAY TO MUCH BUCK FOR YOUR BANG!!! Luckily, we don't have to have just one... and... we can have multiple uppers. Keep your 5.56 upper, and build or buy uppers for other calibers that make sense for you. You don't need Gucci guns, just functioning, reliable guns!!! I'm glad you are steering people away from the 6mm ARC; IT IS THE ANSWER, and the more people you drive away from it, the more ammo for me!!! Lately, I'm loving 6mm ARC as a do-everything cartridge for the AR15; it works amazingly on everything from varmints to mule deer. It makes the AR15 practical and valuable!!! 6mm ARC has the potential to make people more familiar with their rifles and develop a much higher level of marksmanship as they use them for more things than just tactical classes. AR10s are also heavy and unwieldy for a tiny framed person. Even SOCCOM doesn't like carrying them. I Second what others are saying about having a .308 bolt gun... for ammo availability... but there are much better rounds out there if you are going to stock and carry something else... The nice thing is you can also have multiple AR10 uppers. For the cost of the MCX rifles you have there, I can have an AR15 with 5.56, 300 AAC, and 6mm ARC uppers, AND... an AR10 with .308, 6.5 CM, and .243 Winchester uppers. I could even have a second "pistol" upper in calibers for which that makes. With this arrangement, I can use commonly available ammo (whatever I can find or reload), AND ...which is most appropriate for my application. The best part is that I have much more flexibility and I've spent much less money! About the .277 Sig Fury, it can't be part of the conversation until we can readily get Rifles, Barrels, and Ammo. Final thought, if you need a piston gas operating system for whatever reason, build your uppers using Adams arms kits or something similar... you'll still but much less money into it that a SIG.
