Sig has put their name on a complete piece of junk.
the idea is sound and I actually really like the belt fed magazine with 30 rounds of .22 caliber pellets. The problem with this rifle lies in the cheap parts used.
For the most part the internals are metal, horrible pot metal, but metal. The exception being one integral piece that is plastic.
Either this piece was intentionally made of plastic to ensure the gun would fail after a few uses or the company designing it wanted to save .00001 cents by making this piece plastic and not metal.
I am willing to bet this was intentionally made to ensure the gun would fail irreparably after a few uses and require the customer to pay for repair or buy a new gun altogether.
I am so sick of this form of manipulative manufacturing malfeasance.
I have included pics of the piece I am talking about and how it cracked in half leaving the gun an unusable paper weight. The pic with the yellow circle drawn around the upper part of the broken plastic piece the other pic is the bottom part of the plastic piece and the metal piece it houses.
How did this piece break?
Well eventually after so many rounds fired the pressure from the high pressure tank will stress the plastic and crack it. This will start to become apparent by the trigger becoming stiffer. Soon after the piece will fully snap and when u remove the magazine it will pop out. Congratulations you wasted almost 400 bucks.
Should you try to fire it once this piece is broken be warned it will fire the metal part it connected to down out the magazine housing at your body. So that is not only designed to fail but also fail in a potentionally dangerous fashion.
Sig Sauer should hold their heads down in shame for producing this.
