SIG SAUER MCX RATTLER unboxing & first impression PT.1

FAST FORWARD TO 12:23 TO SKIP THE BOX CONTENTS AND VIEW THE RATTLER PORTION OF THE UNBOXING
This is my unboxing review of the Sig Sauer MCX Rattler, as well as my initial impressions of the Rattler. I purchased this off of Gun Broker for $2005.00 from BK ARMS, and am very fortunate to have gotten it for that price. The Rattler has gained wide spread attention not just for its size but also for its price tag, MSRP of anywhere between $2500-$2700, this is not a cheap gun by any means! But despite how empty my wallet is, i have to admit just how happy i am with this purchase.
For all of the viewers who already have an MCX Rattler, and have gotten range time with a variety of ammo, please let me know what ammo you would recommend for the best accuracy and groups! Any further guidence is greatly appreciated as this is my first 300BLK rifle and have no idea what im doing as far as ammo is concerned, i do not plan to do reloads so please keep your recommendations to over the counter ammo i can buy online or in stores.
Unfortunaely the video cut off towards the end, my intention was to do a 2 part review (1 unboxing, and the other at the range) but it will have to be a 3 pt review (2 unboxing/general over view, and the 3rd part at the range) so keep an eye out for Part 3 of my Rattler review to see how it does during its first firing sessions.
Thanks for watching!

My rattler in 300 bo is one of my favorite firearms. Great for home defense , range fun , and travel companion.

[@c.s.2425]

Well done. I appreciate your perspective. Helps me weigh the descion on a purchase.

[@steven3379]

Great video thanks! 👍👍

[@KM_1983]

The spacer is to use other manufacturers suppressors. Sig has a taper mount on their suppressors. The spacer provides a shoulder for suppressors made by anyone other than Sig.

[@smoak888]

I assume you have to use this taper mount to add washers to properly time non sig muzzle devices as well?

[@baddgoat85]

That's a nice pistol. I was torn between this and the honey badger. I went with the honey badger due to it being so rare, and I just happened to stumble upon one randomly. I'd like to see it and the rattler go head to head

[@Yurik-the-marksman]

I saw this as a mod for the game "boneworks"

[@cowboydee1357]

Too funny buy a 2700 dollar gun and tell us a 17 dollar lancer mag is too expensive wow

[@izzyb9255]

Lol i can see what that seems ridiculous but if $5 dollar mags work just as well, id rather have 3 for the price of 1. But as i said, i have no problem purchasing lancers im juat a cheap bastard 😁

[@cowboydee1357]

Izzy B I feel you talking about GI mags correct ? But how you liking the rattler so far I’ll be getting mines in October

[@izzyb9255]

@@cowboydee1357 its an amazing weapon to say the least and easily my favorite purchase. Once FNH makes a semi-auto SCAR-SC i think itll be an interesting comparison. For now im saving up to buy a B&T APC9, which from what i hear will be an instant classic!

[@cowboydee1357]

Izzy B I really hope the put a consumer version of that one out fnh makes real good products from what I hear ear

[@jrowinski82]

@@izzyb9255 The Scar SC is for military and LEO only, so don't hold your breath on that. Also, you could run over a Lancer mag with a Humvee and no damagae, try that with a USGI steel mag.

Looks good have not used it yet

[@gunslinger4203]

Just bought one ! Shoddy QC ! Charging handle comes back and hits me in face ,when bolt locks back ! Also roll pins were missing! Replaced those , but charging handle , still hits me in face on last round !

[@izzyb9255]

Yikes! Definitely give sig a call or email, reach out to them with the issues you are having and if they dont leave you satisfied put them on blast for sure. Seems like i got lucky, but i do mention in the video that they have a reputation for quality control issues which to me (at this point) is almost unforgivable. Honestly, i have already sold mine and plan to get a B&T APC9, which i have heard nothing but INCREDIBLE things about, though perhaps in the future ill buy back into a rattler if only for the 300blk stopping power

[@mannygonzalez2868]

That makes no sense how does the charging handle hit ur face it doesn't move

[@UltimateEnd0]

Thanks super thorough! Looking at one of these for awhile, will probably buy one next summer when I save up enough cash. I don't understand the two dislikes though.

[@izzyb9255]

Which 2 complaints? I remember the conplaint about the pistol grip but thats it. Which, to elaborate, im just not a fan of having any portion of my palm hanging off the end of the grip. I dont have largw hands so i imaginr someone with big mitts having an even larger portion of their palm hanging off but i like the full grip instead of the wierd curved grip here

[@quiman4724]

Hey, What are the dimensions of the box the Rattler came in???

[@thegolflife7565]

The 300 blackout specific magazines do make a difference as the prevent the 300 blackout bullets from nose diving in the mag when full preventing failure to feed. Have you noticed it with these?

[@jrowinski82]

556 mags with anti-tilt followers do the same thing. Has nothing to do with if it is 300 AAC or 556 mag. It is the type of follower that matters.

[@v-manc7398]

Stopped watching at around 4 minute mark. I ordered a Rattler and trying to find information on my new purchase. Unfortunately in my search I am finding too much misinformation out here! I stopped watching your review when you commented on the “spacer” Sig included to “keep a suppressor from hitting hand guard”. All of Sig Sauer rifles and AR variant pistols in recent years have a tapered barrel. The washer included with Rattler is no different then washer supplied with Sig’s other AR style rifles/carbines/pistols. Using the washer will make Sig’s tapered barrel FLAT on the end (not add space) so you can mount a standard flash hider, lineal comp, muzzle break etc!! Has NOTHING to do with moving suppressor forward to avoid contact with guard!! It’s only purpose is to make the tapered end FLAT.

[@DEATH_TO_TYRANTS]

Thanks for saving me time.

[@wethepeople420]

Now all you need is a suppressor and a franklin armory (binary Trigger)

[@izzyb9255]

Id love to go supressed but im saving up for a B&T APC9

[@wethepeople420]

Izzy B Ive been waiting for my sig 762 QD suppressor paperwork to come back from the ATF. I’m at 8 months so far. The wait sucks

[@izzyb9255]

@@wethepeople420 daaaaaamn man, i would hate to wait that long, hang tough brother! You picked a solid can and IMO the best looking one too, its exactly the supressor i would be getting if i wasnt saving for a B&T. Gotta get yourself a rattler my friend! And honestly, id be trading in my mpx for either the ghm or apc, the B&T series of pistol caliber carbines are above and beyond the qualtiy of anything else on the market. Pricey but worth every penny

[@wethepeople420]

I received the suppressor tax stamp at 10 months. It sucked but it was oh so worth the wait

[@JB-kf3yb]

Seriously you care about the lock color. Fudd

[@anythingadrenaline4515]

will it accept a AR15 grip handle. i hate the one in it now. Feels cheap and thin.

[@izzyb9255]

It will! And vise versa, the grip the comes with the rattler is compatible with ar15s. The magpul vertical grip is probably the best match for it but play around with different ones. The only real things you cant swap with ar15 parts is the BCG ( due to the intrigal dual spring instead of the buffer tube design) and trigger mechanism ( hammer is smaller than normal)

[@abertubin]

I thought it was a “rattler” not a raddler ? I’m confused 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@nohcho84]

How many 300 black rounds fit in a 30rd 556 mag?

[@izzyb9255]

It fits a full mag, the 300 black out is the same shell case of a 556. So a 30 round 556 mag will be able to fit 30 rounds of 300blk. The onle difference (as far as i know) is the spring. Apparently, the 300blk ammo is heavier and ideally would have a stronger spring in the mag to assure proper feed into the chamber. Otherwise it works all the same and tbh i havent heard maby complaints from 300blk users that use 556 mags

Just goes to show ... you can’t please all of the people all of the time!

[@IDK_what_TO_call_IT_]

That's not really a spacer. I guess you could call it that, but it's to remove the taper from the barrel so you'll have a 90 degree shoulder to mount traditional direct thread cans or some muzzle devices that need a 90 degree shoulder.
