Sig Sauer MPX CO2

[Polyphemus21]

Anyone on th forums have one of these? I ordered one of these last year to play with and was pleasantly surprised by the 25 yard accuracy. Power isn't too bad, plenty for reactive targets and punching paper. Mine came with an inexpensive red dot sight and it works great! I get a solid 180 shots per 88 gram cartridge. So far reliability is good if you do your part and seat the pellets correctly in yhe 30 round nylon belts. A dab or two of silicone grease on the belts help them slide smoothly through the detachable magazines.

The gun comes with one mag and belt and I bought two spare mags and each spare one comes with three belts so I can load up five belts of 30 rounds, change the CO2 cartridge halfway through and enjoy 300 full power shots of "semi-auto" fun ?

I picked up the Sig MPX for my son. Within 2 weeks, we also picked up a Sig MCX + extra magazine and belts.
Upgraded them to use HPA. These guns are a blast to shoot. Nothing beats a shooting challenge when you have both guns going full bore with 30 round belts each. So much fun.

Start loading up on pellets in bulk...

I think the MCX gets another 150 fps of velocity too. What is impressive is how smooth the trigger action can be. Feels pretty close to a standard AR trigger, not a match trigger for sure but plenty good. It helps to put a dab of silicone grease in the guide slots of the magazines. That will spread around the inside over time and minimize friction on the belts and smooth up the trigger effort.

I like the HPA idea! Do you own a HPA compressor or get fills at a paintball or SCUBA shop?

We used to refill a guppy 4500psi tank from a local paintball place for $5 a pop.
But that got old fast as we also have other PCPs and got into big bore PCP - these things consume air like crazy. 
So, I caved and got a Yong Heng compressor from Alibaba. The compressor has been great. Now, we just shoot and blast everything like HPA is free. As a result, pellet consumption has gone thru the roof...

I have been considering sticking my neck out for a professional grade Nardi compressor to support my hobby but also offer recharge services for other airgunners. Can't get rich but it might slowly offset the initial cost. Looks like around a $3500 investment. Probably not smart, but it sounds like there are a lot of airgunners here in Oregon just waiting for someone to offer inexpensive and reliable fills.
