The 17 inch flat top is on my must-have list. Any dealers stocking them in this configuration? Epps had a couple last year.

Here's my CQB (thanks UncleWalther).
The only thing I'm considering changing is getting a Larue low LT660 mount to bump up the height of the sight ever so slightly.
Awesome little gun - accurate, reliable, and LOUD.

The CQB has a threaded barrel w/ removable flash hider.
The Carbine and Rifle have one-piece barrel/ flash hiders, but they are threaded inside the muzzle.
I never had cause to measure mine but it must be 1/2x28.
I say this because I remember somebody putting a KX3 Pig on their CQB.
Naturally, they were soon given a dressing-down by another member.
Here is a pic of my baby.
and with its Chinese(JW-25) and German(SL8) brothers.
My complaints with the Swiss arms is the bi pod its too flimsy and the gas piston system is a bit of a hassle to clean.
Sigh........i wish it didn't shoot as good as it does because i think my SL8 might need a new home since i never take it out anymore......

I remember that too, but I specifically recall the pitch was DIFFERENT. The poster said Noveske had done a small run of the KX3's in the pitch needed for the Sig/Swiss Arms, and said it was definately NOT 1/2x28.
I can't find that thread for the life of me... but I saw it when I was deciding whether to buy the CQB or not.
Ahhh... I'll take your word for it, my recollections are vague at best.I remember that too, but I specifically recall the pitch was DIFFERENT. The poster said Noveske had done a small run of the KX3's in the pitch needed for the Sig/Swiss Arms, and said it was definately NOT 1/2x28.

I remember it looked cool but was deemed to be a poor decision, due to potential adverse effects on the gas system.
Cheers!

- Somewhere between "WTF?" and "FTW!".
Great Thread again! Alot of good info and pros and cons of this rifle. I'll be probably getting an AR style rifle first, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open for a good deal on this Swiss Arms platform. This site is fantastic!!!
I've had swiss arms guns.
They are nice and I appreciate the operating system but I just can't justify tying up that much money in a gun.
Now the magazines, that's different. Truly a collectors item these puppies hold their value.
I love my swiss mag collection...true aficionados of the genre will note the 'Kampfhamster' mod to the six examples with magpuls.

Nice.
Standard 556 magpuls, or 762? (I have none close to try...)

Nemo's got a Hensoldt 3-12x56 SSG-P optic on his sig sniper.. worth more than a classic green rifle.
