Finally got my dream gun: Sig Sauer SWAT classic 5.56. It's the best of both worlds from an AK47 and a DI gun.
Anyway, I spent all that money, and the gun has problems. New, out of the box, I fired 3 rounds and it jammed.
I continued to work with the gun and try to fix the issues, but had no luck. On the regular gas piston setting it will fire 2-3 times before I have an empty chamber or a round that does not properly chamber, and I have to hit the charging handle like a forward assist. Adjusting the piston to the higher setting improves the performance, but still have the issue after about 10-15 rounds. I have used Winchester, Winchester Ranger, Hornady, Remington, Wolf, and Silver Bear ammo. Also, rounds occasionally jam on the feed ramps.
Sig's first fix was to ship another mag, but that didn't help. So the gun has been sent back to Sig for repairs. I'll get it back in about 4 weeks.
It's so irritating to read great reviews on reliability and performance, and to then have the issues I've had.
Anyone else have similar experiences with the gun; personal or word of mouth?
