Sig MPX barrels, etc...

[BurnOut]

Not really a precision shooting topic, but for those like me who own a Sig MPX and are tired of waiting (and waiting... and waiting...) for Sig to make good on the several-years-old promise of user-swappable barrels of different lengths, check out In Lead We Trust: https://www.inleadwetrust.com/collections/mpx-parts

I have no affiliation with them, but just ordered some parts... and will respond to this thread with my impressions once they arrive.

This is a great option for folks who don't want to have their stock barrel cut down for whatever reason, and they have gas plugs with different sized ports so the user can tune the gas volume depending on the load.

Fuck yeah!

Glad you post this. I have been annoyed at the (typical) Sig antics.

I got one of their 4.5" barrels a few months ago before they started offering w/ gas block. Don't believe videos about how easy it is to swap the gas block. I had to make a jig and use a press but lucked up with alignment on first try. Other than that it's a nice barrel and ILWT has a good rep.

Good info. I'll get it with a block!

Yeah, I went ahead and ordered the barrel/block combo with the .060 orifice, and a set of the "restricted" gas plugs, so I have as many options as possible to tune the action to my load. Between my Gen 2 factory gas plug and the pair that I just ordered, I'm hoping that I'll be able to get it sorted out while minimizing gasface at the same time.

Good to hear that they're quality parts and the vendor has a good rep.

I got my barrel pretty quick! Got it installed, but haven't shot it yet. That integrated three-lug option is awesome. Really helps keep the length w/can to a minimum!

Nice, I had my factory barrel cut, threaded and 3 lug attached - was cheaper.
