Another M-16 offshoot. One of the most duplicated single items ever devised.
Actually more like an AR-18
Try a gas piston driven DPMS pattern LR308 more commonly known as an AR-10 for a butt load of $$$$, Sig released a limited number last year to the public at over $7,000 a copy.
From what I’ve read, the 277 Sig Fury is a downloaded version of the 6.8×51 military round, which operates at about 80,000 PSI. “Elite” loads using the hybrid case are supposedly available, I don’t know that they’re loaded as hot as the military rounds. I think the jury is still out (or hasn’t even convened!) on long-term durability of the rifles when shooting what almost amounts to a steady diet of proof loads. And given SIGs recent history of bugs in newly-introduced firearms, I wouldn’t be an early adopter, even if this expen$ive rifle and its proprietary cartridge interested me.
Seems like changing over to the ubiquitous M5/AR10 platform chambered in one of the widely available calibers, e.g. 308/6.5 CM/7.62 NATO/etc., would have made more sense than a service wide/NATO wide replacement for firing a specialty round, i.e. Sig Fury 277 hybrid. Sounds like something Milktoast Mark Milley would push. Alternately, are there other calibers suitable for the AR15 platform with better ballistics than the 223/5.56 that would have required a barrel/BCG swap. Or improvements on the AR15 upper receiver to adopt cartridges with higher pressures?
Daaaang, heavy buggers ain’t they
Yeah, really. That’s pretty heavy for a rifle with only irons.
