I would like to see a homebuilt 300BO vs. the honeybadger vs. the rattler. I bet it's closer than 75%.
90%
Check out Eitri’s enhancements. He has a 300 blackout build series that is basically the poor mans sig. helped me build my first sbr.
Buttttttt the honey badger has cool colors and a cool looking butt stock? You mean to tell me that’s not worth an additional 2k??
Check out TRex arms, he did a budget honey badger I’m currently working on.
People are sleeping on the dissent
That $799 comment was uncalled for... I knew better though, but my feels...
I already knew the price but my heart skipped a beat when I heard that. I thought maybe they lowered the price or something lol.
Sorry guys, couldn't help it.
@tfbtv definitely one of my bucketlist guns for sure. The gucci pricetag and usage with socom makes it even more attractive. I would be unholy irresponsible with an unlimited defense budget.
@@AJ-xc4nm good thing you never have to worry about an unlimited defense budget
I'm on the phone with Academy Sports arguing with them to honor the $799 James said it was. They claim they don't even know about it and don't know who this James guy is.
Academy isn't even selling an AR type rifle anymore....corporate WOKE decision from what I understand. I was in there the other day and their gun supply looked like a hardware store from the 1940's
Fuck Academy Sports. Please, for the love of James, shop local. I spent like 2-3months going to every locally owned gun store in and around the city I live in when I first got into guns. Found a pawn shop that has layaway that gets the occasional gem and found my go-to local gun store. Owned by a local family
Guess that's another company about to go bankrupt. It'll be strange driving by all the empty buildings by the end of the year.
@@joshuabruce9920 And AVOID DIcks Sporting Goods. They are very anti gun.
$799?!?! 😂. You got me…. When you said that, I crapped my pants, pulled a neck muscle as I turned to look at the screen, and started reaching for my phone to call the dealer all at the same time. 😂 That was a good one, although I did call you some choice names for a couple minutes. BWAHAHAHA! 😂
relax boot
@@Kawmbat_Veteranoh I wish I was still a boot. I’m an old man now. 😂. I retired back in 2014, I just never change my profile pic. I looked decent back then, now I’m looking like an ugly, wrinkled old boot. BWAHAHAHA! 😂
I trust sig marketing about as much as I trust what politicians tell me.
quieter than the footsteps of a navy seal... who remembers that ad lol
@@michaelehlen1779lmao forgot about that
So you'll buy their new product every four years?
SOCOM is adopting these, focus on the product, how can the marketing trigger you ?
Trust the product not the marketing if marketing is what gets you it’s because you are a sheep who has to be led 😂
Took my og rattler over 100 miles down river over a few days kayak trip. Never once had a single issue with it from water, mud, or sand. That thing is a tank.
I wasn't aware it could be used as a flotation device... Maybe it is worth $3000
hard to beat the 5.5'' model , best pdw ever!!
@@brighthought11 The LT did it in many ways
4:39 -- Any day that James shoe-horns his right-side-drive Land Cruiser into his gun video is a good day ☺
Got a ‘21 Land Cruiser. What a beast.
The biggest issue with 300 BO is ammo cost. Subsonic rounds are $1 a piece, subsonic 9mm is around 35 cents a piece. I own many of both and mostly shoot 9mm
Ok but you're getting a rifle round...
@@Bischlarbo69but that doesn’t matter if you can’t buy as much guy.
This is why I have been reluctant to get a 300BO. For now I'll stick to my 9mm SBR's.
@ultimatetrex1999 i guess. Still a pretty solid advantage to 300 blackout
@@Bischlarbo69 For self defense sure…but just for shooting? 100 rounds go quick and it’s over $100 for subsonic 300 BO. I only shoot subsonic suppressed 9mm and 300 BO
I saw PDW and clicked immediately.
That's like me when your m o m posts on insta
Public display of weapon
Same. I was hoping for a video on something more TP9/Flux Raider/PSA X57, but this’ll do.
Ditto.
Me too
MCX and MPX are by far my favorites
Dissent? More adjustible, less gassy, tastes great.
and about $1k less in price.
I have one, it's pretty dang good in my opinion.
Is the Dissent adjustable with a bullet tip?
@@syko188 You get what you pay for, this guy even said it himself at 15:54 and he's right. Sig products aren't for poors CMMG products are. Everyone with a brain knows that. CMMG is D tier at best. Sig is S tier, the special forces know it, even my dead grandma knows it.
You will never see any respected military in the world use anything made by CMMG. cheap garbage
Another solid review, I’m a huge fan of the mcx series. The price of this one hurts to but, if you alert have a good amount of 5.56 rifles and want a more compact system this isn’t bad.
Just got the 300 BO 6.5" based on your recommendation. Hornady Vmax 110 grain average 1950 feet/sec by my Garmin. 1.5" group at fifty yards with an Eotech. Cycled perfect. Recoil is so mild my eye never went off the target. Thank you for going out on the limb with an extraordinary recommendation for this weapon. I love it.
The CMMG dissent has entered the chat
100% a better gun and better company
4140 barrel? No thanks
And won’t shoot on its own
@@cgoins19934140 is absolutely fine
How much are you shooting? 300 blk isn’t exactly .220 swift
Noveske Ghetto Blaster, Daniel Defense DDM4PDW, and LMT Mars-L have entered the chat.
We can print that. 😉
Still love my Canebrake.
It's time for us to give a new platform buddy
Can you be the first to get your hands on a Grot polish assault rifle that can transform into a bull pup?
FB Grot Review it please, no body's got it!!
Corey and Erica called, and Erica wants her shorts back...😂
If he isn’t careful he is going to catch a case if his little bird pops out!
I just got the Spear LT 300blk 9” version and I love it, I thought about the rattler but I wanted a longer barrel and Handguard as I am a big guy and it’s more comfortable to me also get some extra range and velocity
Pdw's in 300blackout suppressed make me smile
PSA Jakl vs Sig Rattler. Hop vs James. Give the people what we want, James.
I'd take a Jakl into actual combat before I took an MCX.
And I *do* understand the gravity of that statement.
Thanks for the review. If I were to make this once in a lifetime purchase I would definitely consider. Nice to watch Corvette reviews also. Appreciate the video.
Some of those pics of the MCX in the wild were big foot level quality pictures haha
No wonder they are so expensive, Sig still trying to recoup from 85,000 rounds of 300BO.
James, the review that you did about a year ago titled "SIG MCX RSAR" at timestamp 3:29 told me what an outstanding weapon this is. Especially, using .300 BO Subsonic!
Absolutely an amazing review best one I’ve seen so thank you you’ve just gained a new subscriber
The Rattler IS absolutely an awesome SBR/PDW, and yes, I do own one. But I also wanted a Canebrake. So, I built a 6.75" version of the Sig using a Wilson Combat Upper/Lower/Bolt, JP Silent Capture Spring, Gieselle Trigger, Maxim Defense Stock, Aero Gen 2 Handguard and Troy Tritium Backup iron sights (The metal ones, not plastic). My Omega 300 suppressor nicely slips half in/Half out of the handguard utilizing a 3 lug mount. The CONS of my build are no adjustable gas block (Which I could install, but do not need it!) and No Right Side Bolt Release (Which I really like!). But, the cost of my build was about $700 less than the Sig (In Oct 2023). My build is also slightly more compact than the Sig, my stock LOP is adjustable, I can utilize all mil-spec AR parts if needed, the weapon feeds/functions 100% with Supers AND Subs and the Sound Suppression is identical between my WC build and my Rattler using the Omega 300. Accuracy is also neck and neck between the two. If you have the bucks, the Sig is definitely Gucci AF. But my $700 less expensive Wilson is pretty much Fire as well!
I'll stick with my DDM4 PDW since it compliments my go to rifle DDMV7 AR15. If my ar bolt goes bad I can switch out my PDW bolt to my ar15 and I'm good to go.
BRAVO ZULU! Excellent coverage on the platform. I'm in.
Great video! Love the strides Sig has made. Keep up the great work!
I'm very hesitant nowadays when it comes to Sig products. Their QC has visually and virtually taken a hard nosedive over the years ever since they won the military contract. Purchased an MCX virtus patrol upper and I had to return it because of the machining marks and burrs all over the upper. Compared to my original MCX virtus patrol, only two years apart, the difference in QC was negatively surprising.
Bought a g26 15 years ago. Been through 2 instructors classes and 4 civilian based pistol courses. The slide barely looks like I've drawn it over the years. Finally folded and bought a sig365x as the g26 size was finally getting annoying. One 500 round class and 50 at home draws and the finish is rubbed off showing steel. Don't care but it shows the finish quality/durability.
Would mever buy a dog based primarily on the fact that all they produce is trash that doesn’t work. Can’t even make a Glock correctly meanwhile Psa is making products 10x better at half the price
@@caseyschryber1255wut
I had burrs and function issues with my Virtus.... it now works great but only with high pressure 556. .223 will most likely not lock open after last round. Have you seen the swat shootout video where 2-3 mcx rifles fail to function? REALLY gives you pause on buying sig products. I just bought a sig romeo 8T and when torqued to specs onto virtus, the clamping claw has flawed machining and caused damage to my upper that required me to replace both the upper and send optic into sig.... IM SO DISENFRANCHISED with sig now....
@@jeremygrbj4745 I've literally never touched a weapon in my life, but ever since Sig convinced the army to buy a battle rifle in a proprietary cartridge and with redundant charging handles, I've always been leery of anything with their name on it
I’m sold. Great video! Such a bad ass pdw 😎
Fantastic review! Thanks!
I’ll be excited about this when psa drops the remix
They did. It's the jakl.
Interesting when did they drop a PDW length? (They haven’t)
PSA makes them in .300 BLK with 8.5" barrels. 1913 stock/brace attatchment, 6 position adjustable gas system, monolithic upper, etc. The Jakl might be a little heavier than the Rattler, and to my knowledge hasn't had the same kind of reliability testing. Assuming equivalent reliability, the cost of the Jakl means the buyer has more money for ammo and a silencer
They make a 7.5” .300. I have one w a law folder and it’s a great piece for a great price. Love to see them do a short short jakl and call it the jaklope
Before you reply, 2” is a BIG difference… logistically.. for a pdw..
And for only 2700 without a suppressor, brace/stock, form 4 or optic! Nice!
3600-4000 or more by the time you adopt those necessary add ons you mentioned
@@Goldtech6973 I'm over $5K for mine.
Informative and aesthetically pleasing as usual
I have had an MCX in 300 blackout for years. Love it! I want one of these rattlers so bad!
I’ve been avoiding buying any gun in .300 BLK b/c I’m trying not to add another caliber to manage, but this is gun that’ll make me jump in the .300 BLK pool. I got to get me one of these.
the versatility of the round is a solid addition to the "stash", assuming you have a suppressor
Reliable. Expensive. Like a Land Cruiser.
Fantastic review. Love your channel. Thanks for sharing great content.
Absolutely mind blowing review. I'm sold. Really and quite unexpectedly changed my mind on this gun. Was looking at NUMEROUS other builds but I'm a bit smaller than you are frame wise and I think that THE size of this PDW is actually the correct answer for me. 85K certainly proves the other end of this argument too. The price is up there, but like you stated, the last 25% makes this a no kidding, military to civilian go-to firearm for quality. After two decades in the Military, I wished we had these over what I was given... Thanks for changing my view!
Old rattler is way heavy, but shoots great.
@@mikeh2990 jesus christ that's heavy
You try hitting it with your purse ? Gosh you’d die if you carried an AK then
I don't know how much lighter the Rattler LT is, but the original 5.5" Rattler weighs 4lbs and 12oz, that's without a stock though so it goes up from there. Spear LT 9" 300blk is about half a pound heavier at 5lbs and 3oz, without a stock as well.
Update, got the Rattler LT, roughly same weight as the original Rattler, 4lbs and around 11.5 to 12oz. I mean there is some weight savings considering it has a longer barrel and handguard, but I'm sure this is more noticeable on the longer Spear LT models vs the Virtus. Also I weighed the original 5.5" Rattler with the Midwest handguard installed, slightly lighter and similar handguard to the LT models, if I remember correctly it weighed 4lbs, 13.5oz with the stock handguard for what it's worth.
I still think the Spear LT 9” 300BLK is better - only slightly longer(meaning better rail space), 9” ideal 300blk barrel length, cheaper by $200, better able to add a 11.5” 556 barrel if you want to change calibers without it looking weird with a long barrel/short handguard, has forward assist, and most importantly . . . TACticAl cOYotE tAn!!!
I loved the review and details on the video.
Great video as always sir.
Dangit. This kills all of the reasons that I dont have a rattler. Now I need.
14:28 - Dammit James! You had me going for a sec. That said, if they could get the price sub $2k, I think that would be a good buy.
I think they would have to lower the price that they charge the government so probably not going to happen unfortunately 🥺
Ahhh, to dream. I think SIGs ultimate goal is to have $2k be the minimum entry point for long guns and they'll eventually get their pistols to $1k. It's only going up from here.
Probably could find the upper for 2k or under and slap it on an AR15 lower.
Super review
Great video James! Now that the new Rattled is compatible with all modifications of the Spear Lt, would love to see a video on how this MCX could be the number 1 SHTF rifle being you now have 4 caliber choices. 5.56, .300BLK, x39, and .22LR using the CMMG Bravo kit + Ilumnd Arms .22 mcx adapter.
Nice sweater! Annual 2 days of cold weather hit Florida has it? 😂
Can confirm
Actually been 3 days but don’t tell anyone…..ssssh….
All the heat from the Q video caused this one lol
I couldn’t get a 9.5 inch build to run both subs and supers (suppressed). I bit the bullet and bought an MCX upper. I should have done that from the start. I LOVE IT! I can’t wait to get a Rattler. If you’re curious or just bored, I have a few videos on my build on my channel.
Swappable gas valve is huge for me. I run an srd762 and holy back pressure batman. I dislike screw type adj gasblacks and having a tunable “switch block” would help me a lot.
One thing no one ever seems to talk about with Q's Honey badger is how awful it is just to take apart, and I'm not talking like complete tear down. I'm talking about a task as simple as taking out a BCG and putting it back in...
That's why I ended up buying the SIG canebrake.
We received a Honey Badger at our FFL, every one of us was in shock with such a stupid design choice, but as usual the people defend them here in the comments. Rattler LT is way better and actually sees top tier SOF use.
@@great_deception I work in the automotive field and see a lot of stupid designs that make me say wtf out loud. Never had that moment in the pew community until I seen the disassembly / reassembly of the honey badger. Here I thought it was just another DI ar15. I believe maxim defense and GQ armory uses a similar BCG design.
waiting for the MPX LT so we go full circle
I almost bought one of gen 1's but they were out of stock everywhere, I am not a fan of Q guns, so I went with the Daniel Defense PDW. Glad I did. Dissent wasn't around at the time, not sure which I would have went with at that point if it had but I couldn't be happier with my gucci'd out PDW. Running a nomad 30, eotech, and Geissele SDE Flat. Was messing around with a somogear peq 15 and with the can on its held zero very well. All around happy with the 300blk. Just glad I bought ammo before it skyrocketed.
I have the maxim pdx and I love it. But I can’t lie I want this and the honey badger but definitely going with this one next.
@@mikeh2990 I would but I got mine for half the cost because guy was trying to sell it to a store and they only offered him 600. If I knew a place that would give me closer to what it’s worth I would trade it. I already bought a hk hand rail and just waiting for my can been like five months now. And I am going to have a sweet set up. I will put it on my page. I might end up just buying one if I can find the one I want. The new 7 in barrel seems like the way to go. How much did they give you on trade?
So, why the $300 + increase over the Sig Sauer LT 300 BLK in a 9 inch barrel? It just seems that Sig is trying to make the Civilian market pay for the shortfall in their Government contracts.
All their stuff went up big the last pricing cycle. We have stuff in the shop like Spear LT rifles that cost us significantly less than the spear LT pistols at current wholesale
Everyone went up.
Sig smashed it out of the park. I love these
I appreciate the heads up.
I haven’t been this early for a video since James wore relaxed fit jeans.
Now we know 😂
😂😂😂
What do you think of the Grand Power Stribog SP10?
Rattler's in 300 blackout are awesome. Everyone should own a few.👍
Can't wait for the PSA 300PDW.
You mean the Jakl? It doesn’t compete until PSA puts it on a diet.
@@echofoxtrotwhiskey1595ya she's a chunky monkey
Gotta love your videos. Had it playing on my side tablet as I was working and at 14:29 you got me good 😂 😂. I did a hard head turn left when u said $799 just to get the two fingers 😂 😂
300 Blackout vs 10mm PCC?
"Sig will even assist you at the customer service level" lol no.
Ya, their customer service is horrendous and they're grossly ignorant when you get them on the phone
@@maximusjoseppi5904That's weird, we are an FFL and Glock and SIG offer hands down the best CS to our dealer. We have used both as consumers and they are also our favorites to work with.
@@maximusjoseppi5904 We had great luck with them as an FFL and myself at the personal level. S&W was by far the worst customer service.
As soon as someone comes out with an oversized handguard for a tucked can, I'm buying one.
They exist.
@@AJ-xc4nm I know they exist for the older style MCX's. But doesnt the newer Spear LT have a different handguard screw configuration?
@JH-sm3ci the whole point of the lt mcx's is to add cross compatibility with all other lt guns. There is a line of sd lt handguards, especially for the rattler
Be aware that 300 blackout has a major flaw. You can’t switch from subsonic to SuperSonics without rezeroing your sights. The creator of 300 blackout suggests running two lightweight red dots back to back, or getting an Sig Sauer 9t which costs $5,000. That’s not a typo!
What most people do for extreme ballistics changes is use holdovers
@@terrarecon Not practical, the poi and poa at 200 yards can be over 5 feet apart from subs to supers
Is there a cartridge that subs vs supers doesn't require independent zeroes?
@@gunguru7020 If there is, I have not found it yet. There is a reason SOCOM requested the Sig 9t and why Sig is charging $5,000 a pop for them.
Primary Arms makes sights for 300blk that accommodates both.
I always wanted an overly heavy over priced ballistically challenged PDW 😱 finally the Gen 2 rattler is here! It's a 6lb 6.75" 300bo AR with an undersized stock to try to trim weight haha... You can build a much better gun for half the price.
What the military uses doesn't mean it's good, it just means that's who won the contract. And sig customer service for civilians is trash... They won't trouble shoot your issues unless you're using THEIR silencers. They're like apple, over priced, proprietary and just lives off marketing
Dang. I'm wondering if that trimmed stock just makes it even more front-heavy.
Anyone else notice they deleted the cmmg dissent comment because it was top comment? 🤣
This was an infomercial boys, my comment will be deleted next 👍🏻
@@maximusjoseppi5904 I don't think it's TFB. I've noticed a lot of comments disappearing all over the gun space randomly and I'm not sure what's causing it. Maybe CZcams has an algorithm or something that catches certain words.
Love my Virtus...and likely selling off an AR or two to grab up a 300 upper.
Kind of going all in on the system. Its expensive as hell, but I adore the thing.
Nice review.
Is this some kind of JAKL clone?
That Spear LT is the shit!!
That’s what I just bought and I love it, I got the 9” version and waiting on my tax stamp so I can SBR it 🔥
@@trentrockwell6598 About 2500-3 or more??
@@dieselt7808 $2,280 before tax $2,500 after, $200 for the tax stamp and another $262 for the stock $2,962 total barely more than the SBR version which would be around $2,915 and my wait time should be far less than the current SBR lead times because I did it myself with a form one 👌🏻
@@dieselt7808 It’s very expensive and I sold a couple other ones to get it and it’s my second most expensive behind my Staccato P but you get what you pay for up to a certain point you know
Man, a lot of people hate Sig, I wonder how many actually own some to truly hate it based on their real life experience. Cause I love the couple of sigs I own. Im not a Sig diehard but I do love their products.
Most of the Sig haters were born into the CZcams know nothings, same s*** different day.
I dont think they hate the products, but rather the company. One day, they release the Sig Romeo 5, a very respectable red dot that became the gold standard of budget red dots. The other day, they release the Sig Romeo 9T, which is asking 5000 bucks just because Sig is too stupid to figure how to make a good reticle for .300 blackout.
Was not prepared for the price!
Rattler been my backpack gun throughout many Philly neighborhoods 😂😂
Why is everything 2500 bucks now?
Because Biden said so…
DAMNIT! I was on the fence about the Sig Canebrake and this video just sealed the deal. No Canebrake, MCX Rattler LT it is!
I'd love to see a vid comparing the SIG MCX Rattler LT vs. the Q Honey badger, both are great, premium firearms, both shoot 300 blackout, and both were made to replace the MP5.
I guess you gotta charge $3000 when you’re paying off a cadre of lawyers on your P320 lawsuits.
Sig boys can't wait for the next over-priced name brand sig while missing the target 😂 at least they paid full prce for "reliability"
Lmao look at my comment above. They’re out in full force
It costs 2x what everything else does, so it has to be awesome!
Tell us how unreliable the Rattler is.
Call SOCOM and the 12+ other country SOF units adopting it and tell them they are adopting the wrong gun, I would love to know what they tell you. Cope harder that your favorite brand is probably only found in the trailer park you come from.
$3k per pdw is too high for equipping the RCMP within a 3 year supply contract. I'd rather domestically redesign/produce the expired h&k patent's on the mp5 (modded for accepting 7.5mm fk brno which also allows for 5.7mm fn and 4.6mm hk because it fits that magwell) and mp7. I figure a $10 a unit profit after 1000-2000 units pay for the machines and materials; at $750ish unit price to RCMP.
Almost picked up a 7.5 fk brno pistol recently.
You would have a hard time tooling up to make the equivalent of a Highpoint for $20k. Better add a couple of zeros to your estimate.
@cletustheslackjawedyokel6083 second hand gun lathes and cnc machines are super cheap in canada since our gov changed gun laws so only sks's and the psa jakal's are our non-hunting market. Highpoint and keltec are priced as "high" (low but high for low) so they can keep the engineers doing huge lines of cocain. The yeet9 and printables are exactly why I wana give my RCMP nicer toys.
RCMP is adopting Rattlers ?
@great_deception I'd rather they adopt anything they are more willing to carry. C7a2/m16a4/m4a1 clones are too large and karren's call them military weapons. A mp5 chambered with the euro-spec mega .357 magnum (7.5mm fk brno) or a mp7a1; thigh holster for immediate use or suitcase sized gun-cases at malls/gov buildings/schools/hospitals. Because the fn 50(?) sure wouldnt make my member stiff if I were the closest cop to an active shooter with a sks and 3a armour. Gotta make the cop have so much balls, he need a wheelbarrow to drag em around.
Another Sig game changing landmark evolution of gun marketing
Not the Honeybadger ?!
Cmmg Dissent.
This is my dream piece. I like it a lot.
How about the LMT PDW 300 blk. You interviewed in shot show? Are you going to do a review and comparison with the rattler?
Have you ever shot the ra xcr? Would be cool to see a comparison between the spear and xcr
Sales pitch extravaganza
Question: is it still the case that you HAVE to use a high pressure can for the rattler to run on the stock gas plug?
Me. I'm one of those that built a 6" 300blk AR with a folding adapter because much as I liked the Rattler, I just wasn't a fan of the proprietary parts and some of the bulk around the handguard. This new LT is making me rethink towards getting one.
The only reason I’m interested in folding PDWs is *MAYBE* a bag gun in a get-home bag. To that extent, folding flat it mandatory, and there’s only two 300BLK guns out there that fold flat that I’d consider, this and the dissent.
Its the round. It makes sense that the Rattler can fire an absurd amount of rounds becasue the pressure of the 300 round is similar to the X39 and Ak's are famous for ridicules lifespans. And the rattler is probably made to an even higher standard that the AMK imho. (And those numbers are really similar to an AK lifespans I know of. Sometimes 15k rounds on Russian guns with no issues.)
This is my weapon of choice for SHTF when needing conceal ability, reliability, body armor piercing, and sound suppression. For people with the idea to use long rifles with like 5000 Rounds let me remind you. With current data shootings happened within 100 feet, and end within two shots in United States. For the main reasons you can’t determine who’s friend or foe from long range, and if your attacker has friends after the first two shots they almost always run away. After all violent criminals are not special forces. Lastly almost always people with non-concealed weapons with no suppressors are the first to die in SHTF situation. Because as soon as someone sees or hears a gun in your general direction most will shoot first and ask questions later.
Amazing you got that cheek riser to stay on while filming this. I had to wrap mine in hockey tape.
Probably because it’s installed incorrectly. Check the lock piece.
Holy Cow, I want one of these.
Nice video buddy any word on the MCX RAPTOR 308 ?
Nice gun. It would be nice if it had one of those hand guards that extended into the flash hider suppressor area.
Wish TFB TV would do a review of the Robinson Arms XCR-L Mini in 300Blk with the 7.5 Barrel. I have the larger XCR-L in standard, and I like it.
Will Sig be providing the torch wrench, that you mentioned, needed to change the barrel or will it be an optional accessory?
In tough places, it is always best to have the top of the line!
The Rattler is my third MCX, just got it a couple days ago. Waiting for a Surefire SOCOM SPS 300 suppressor, but I’m gonna take it out for some unsuppressed shooting tomorrow. I expect it to bark like my Krinks with a substantial fireball, but I think the fireball will be less with the Rattler. James is right, the grip sucks, and mine has an Sig brace which isn’t too good, but the trigger is fine. I don’t want something light like a SSA-E, because it’s not that kind of weapon, but I will say that the charging handle is being replaced with a Radian. The safety came incredibly stiff and I lubed the entire pistol trying to loosen it up. Watching TV and running the safety and charging handle a few hundred times has helped, but the safety may get replaced too. The Rattler currently has an EXPS 2 on a Unity riser, but I’ve got a T2 and am thinking of putting it on instead of the EOTECH to save 10 OZ! The Rattler folds to a very small package, but the EOTECH takes some of the fun by adding a lot of weight I don’t want to sling. I’ll have to run the Rattler with both optics before I’ll be able to decide, EOTECH is hands down better for passive night vision however. My MCX LT 11.5” in 5.56 has loosened up nicely, and I really like it, except the brace which will get 0:15 remedied eventually. The Rattler is incredibly cool, and small for the serious power it can unleash. When I get it set up I think the Rattler will be my go to home defense and truck weapon.
