The all new Famae flat top.

Ya if its just the bolt that's missing I'm sure we could get one from Greggs or Acklands unless it's some weird proprietary thread size
Either way I'm glad TI you have some folding stocks so hopefully I can get a couple when you do put them up for sale

When SIG developped the 540 series, the Swiss government wasn't ready to update their current military rifle.
SIG wasn't authorized to export firearms out of Switzerland.
They could only sell the rights/blueprints to produce the 540s.
France (Manhurin) and Chile (Famae) bought the rights and produced them.
The ones produced by Manhurin were chambered in .243 because French laws prohibited its citizen from owning military calibre rifles.

24821 is my order #
How long have other buyers been waiting, ordered a week ago and still says "processing".
This like a t81 thing and people getting rifles randomly without notice or updates on the account?

TI’s shipping notification is a bit odd, perhaps for security reasons?
Anyways, mine said “processing” then I got a Canada Post notification that it was out for delivery.
So, yours could be well on its way already.
I’m presently waiting on two orders from TI, I’m in no hurry for them like I was for my 540.

Not getting the 542 would have been a mistake.
That rifle should last a lifetime.

I also saw an ad on #######: the guy has 14 brand new 542 mags for $190 a piece.
Probably bought them from TI ?

Dirty cockroach POS. No reviews either. Just wait. TI will bring in more mags. Just like they did with the Type 81. Don't feed the scum. $100 mags are already exorbitant. $200 mags are simply unacceptable.
Yup, typical greedy scalper trying to rip people off, he prob doesn't even own a 542 rifle
I only bought two extra mags with my rifle because I didn't want to be a greedy little B!tch and was going to get a couple more after the rifles sold out so others could get a spare mag or two with their new rifles
I'm sure TI will get more in eventually
Any updates on the muzzle device? I've got an OG SG542 with the flash suppressor pinned to the barrel. Just picked up one of these "flat top" SG542s with the threaded barrel. Definitely curious to see what a quality muzzle device does for it.
As a crazy aside, someone should try firing one of these with no device installed just to see what it does with regards to the accuracy. I may do that when mine arrives.
Thanks
I ordered one with 4 extra mags. Was told there was inventory issues and I would have to wait 9 months for the next shipment for mags. Not going to have a firearm with only one mag so I cancelled my order. I’ll wait for the next batch. Will pick up a Tavor 7 in the meantime.
Seeing that someone bought mags to scalp pisses me off. I guess anything to make a quick buck these days.
