This whole spear LT thing has been so interesting! My buddy got a .308 one and as soon as I picked it up I noticed the issue. I checked the barrel torque and it was fine. After some more investigation I found the issue, it is with the handguard. Several people online have recommended to tighten the upper handguard screws to crazy levels, this did make a difference. I find it strange this could have been fixed with a few cents worth of parts and nobody(mostly looking at sig) has realized it.

I have a Virtus and its way over gassed, especially suppressed. I took the adjustable gas block key out and added some custom smaller gas holes on the opposite side and extra detents.

Im thinking about sending it to Sig to see if they can re create it for other people. Lucas, let me know if you would like some pictures so you can get your mcx dialed in.

Seemed like the group was plenty centered. How was that an issue? These aren't precision firearms, even when 9 hole reviews tested Mk 12s they are a 2-3 moa gun at best so the groups he shot are plenty good.

My theory is that after bending the barrel to the left there is slight whiplash to the right during first shot before bullet exits the barrel.

Hope you make ongoing SIG MCX SPEAR videos, so Canadians can see what pushing the limits with a SIG MCX SPEAR 7.62x51 is like. You look stronger nowadays, so maybe you can use these big platforms as good as you do the 5.56 now. The civilian version of the U.S. Army's new XM7 rifle, that we can't own in Canada, and that might be good for the army here actually? The SIG MCX SPEAR 7.62x51 looks great for sports shooting though or something iconic about it. All of our colleagues here have been talking about bb's, pellets, c02, batteries, flashlights, paintballs, tazers, rubber pistols, air guns, or talking up .22 bolt action rifles for self defence against mafias, gangs, SHTF & dystopian survival. Everything except training with a 7.62x51 semi. If there was a .02 rimfire bullet, our colleagues would do that, as it would be applauded by media and government and corporate admis. :) Help!!! Go the other way Lucas. Show us what life is like with real calibers. What about these 6.5, 6.8, 7 calibers? Also, what should Canadian army use to overcome modern army with body armour or people with 7.62x39 mm rifles? Any insights on bullet design and the future of bullets for citizens or armies or cops in North America? Despite so much information out there. Lots of critical or key questions, seems that premium questions, it's not immediately obvious or commonly discussed, even after browsing for a little while through various videos.

[@umbrellasecurityforces1074]

To Lucas's suggestion about practicing throttle control by shooting a near and then a far (further at least) target, you CAN replicate this at an indoor range by having a single target paper with a large and a small target on it. There are tons of targets online for this. It's not quite the same because you're not having to transition as far, but you are going to have to practice going faster or slower based on relative target "size."

[@karlhope9837]

The extra screws that Sig added to the Spear LT don't actually do anything to prevent handguard shift. It just holds the flex in place.

11:33, you said you don't train like you fight. What combat have you been in?

[@TREXARMS]

It’s a joke. Don’t take it so hard

[@thenny9081]

I used the Arisaka zero retention clamp to fix the hand guard wobble after I torqued down the hand guard screws. So far I haven’t had any issues, and the zero has been fairly consistent. Rifle functions just fine, but I just don’t feel confident with it. The QC issues I’ve delt with has discouraged me slightly. I’m considering selling it and getting something else, not sure yet.

[@5jjt]

Keep using it to gain more confidence.

The rifle is gassed like a govt combat rifle in normal setting. It is NOT smooth shooting but it’s manageable. You won’t win any shooting competitions with it. However, once my rifle was broken in with a few hundred rounds I can run it unsuppressed on the lower gas setting. It runs steel case through spec 556 on that low setting. Shot like this the rifle is fine and on par with my custom built rifles for recoil and muzzle management. My barrel does move a bit but I haven’t tested the impact of that at distance. The ambi bolt catch/release is small and can be had to find with your finger at first but it’s great for locking the bolt back during malfunctions as you don’t have to take your hand off the pistol grip. This alone is worth the control even if you don’t use it for fast reloads.

I have 3 Spear LT’s. The mcx platform is pretty amazing.

[@30rdmaga]

I have 5!

What’s the main advantage, just no buffer tube like the psa Sabre ? Folding stock would indeed be nice to have (without that dumb expensive adapter for buffer tubes to fold)

Me: "I should get off the couch and do some work in my kitchen while I watch this." Lucas: "This is for those of you who have this playing in the background, and you're in the kitchen, and you're not really watching, and you're gonna hear this, and you're gonna wanna watch." Me: "Welp, nvm. Let's sit still and watch."

[@BLR653]

Dude I was literally cleaning my kitchen counter tops when you said that! Creeping!

[@Minuteman762]

I got to handle one of these rifles, and I love the trigger!

[@ptwtv3260]

The kitchen comment had me dead dropped what I was doing to witness the channel I discovered in 2017 😂

[@Wakener00]

Wild, I had two Daniels bend like that too. Fkin' Peroni's rifles.

[@LandOFreeAdventures]

Absolute beast 🔥🔥🔥

[@Rb889]

Love the one-take videos. Based on this small test, the barrel shift is self-correcting; first shot deviates to the opposite direction as the barrel over-shoots (hur, hur) center when whipping back into position when pressurized by firing. Barrel shift is due to the tiny little screws that're supposed to help the handguard hold zero, there's no other changes to the LT that would cause this. Some think it's from over-tightening them, I'm thinking there's tension applied to the receiver material surrounding the barrel extension, so when the barrel is shifted, there's just enough tension to hold it in its new position until forced back into proper place. Pop the screws out, see if the problem persists. I do like the LT, almost as nice as the original MCX for weight/handling.

[@TREXARMS]

Keep in mind, this is after Sig “corrected” the issue and sent the gun back to us.

[@mrdark9916]

Keep in mind, SIG makes absolute trash

LMTs MARS-L & MARS-H > SIG MCX series.

Thanks Lucas for satisfying the guys in the kitchen 👨‍🍳

[@dailydive0406]

I am waiting for this as I just got mine .

[@joelobryan1212]

Does the barrel bend or is it the hand rail that bends?

[@VETERANSERVICEOFFICER]

Neither, the barrel nuts and handguard retention screws are undertorqued from the factory. They need to tighted to 60 in pds for barrel retention screws and 40-45 in pounds for the handguard. Zero flex after that.

[@TREXARMS]

Sig torqued them for us and we then shot the gun. Customers shouldn’t have to torque them.

[@joelobryan1212]

@@TREXARMS I have a MCX Spear LT 11.5" .223 upper. I'll have to try this when I get home to Texas. In AZ home at the moment. Honestly. the gun + a $2k optics shoots about 1 MOA for me at 100yds. But I'm not Marine tossing it around in a Hummvee either.

[@jasonmcclish2580]

Awesome video guys. Thank you...

[@TheOnlyIGNewzzz]

The playing in the background theory is 100% not a theory and 100% facts lmao I just love hearing perfection and mechanics of different weapons especially new rifles 😂😂😂🤷🏾‍♂️
