for the mags all you have to do is take off upper receiver pull up the wire and run it along the side of the lower then put the upper back on took me like 2 minutes to sort it out
john cederroth thank man 👍🏻👍🏻
Great review. I own the mcx and had the same mag issues and found the new krytac mags fit perfect
My epm1 mags fit like a dream
Thanks for the Time you've spent Shaking this Baby Down for us all. I think Anyone involved in Airsoft should Learn to do their own Repairs and Mods for sure. It is funny though, you Broke the dang thing Down Except, had you Rocked the Upper, the wire routing issue could have been resolved for your less experienced audience. :) I definitely appreciate knowing these hiccups in advance and being able to address them day one. Keep It Up 💯
I'm a simple man. I see a sexy gun, I press like
Love it! thanks for watching!.
Nice video keep it up😬👍
Great review dude 👌🏻 I personally really like the mcx platform I’ve always thought it to look badass. And.... well..... modern warfare made me fall in love with it lol. However I need to get my hands on one to really see how it handles. Due to that wiring issue though I think I’m gonna wait for the GBBR version to come out like they told us at shot show last year that they’d work on. Not only cause I like GBBR more lately but also they should’ve front wired the gearbox itself and shortened the length of the wire instead of just taking a rear wired gearbox and cramming it in like they did. To me that’s a bit lazy. Or perhaps rushed like you said. Perhaps they’ll fix these issue eventually.
I just got mine 3 weeks ago. Make sure your pin in the hand guard is all the way in. I have no wobble in my hand grip at all. Just put a holographic, tracer Unit and flashlight and lazer. It looks the exact same as the “clean house” mission in Modern warfare campaign.
I highly recommend. I use .32 and .30 as back up but .32 shoot straight as a lazer and has amazing accuracy even at far distances. If you use .32 you need to turn the hop up upwards more since the BB is heavier but it shoots so more accurate and doesn’t shoot real high and then comes back down, it actually shoots completely straight and accurately for really long distances with .32 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Well done review, I think I just found my next airsoft gun. Do you think a Maxx Model hopup will fit inside? I love their hops.
Unfortunately I'm not sure if a max hop up will fit in the upper of this gun because there is a lack of spacing due to the custom cut upper reciver being different spec then an m4. But if you have any luck with one I would love to find out!.
I have the Cybergun version.....Maxx fits fine in mine. For what that's worth, hope it helps.
How did you take the orange tip off? Never mind I saw someone already asked down in the comments
Do you recommend this for a first time airsoft gun I want a gun that’s reliable and can shoot well
Best review video on the Proforce MCX so far! I had the same magazine compatibility issues and the cut/torn exposed wire :(
Also, I highly recommend trying out Krytac’s Defiance flip up sights on this gun. I don’t know what it is, but something about them makes the MCX look so good with them 😉
BTW, I also have Cybergun’s Gen 1 MCX (comes with the keymod handguard) and that also had the same magazine compatibility problem, again because of the wire.. It’s a shame, my stock and keymod handguard had a slight wobble too 😔
What’s the brand of your plate carrier, I like it 👌🏼
my mcx motor seem to die out until I flip the switch to full to safe then it works also when it dose this it just lick as if its no battery in it .. do u think my battery is too powerful or should I sent it back ...I only h/ad it a week
Hey man, loved your video, I have a question, what did you do to take the orange tip, I’ve heard that its really stiff.
I removed the barrel assembly from the gun entirely. Then I wrapped the barrel in a towel. Put the barrel wrapped in a towel in a steel vice and tightened it down secure. Then I took channel locks and gripped the orange tip and then hit the channel locks with a hammer. It was quite the process. There is no easy way of getting the orange tip off without scratching the orange paint off of the tip unfortunately. But the tip is removable with alot of effort. If nothing works I recommend using a heat gun on the orange tip first since it is steel and can be heated it will melt the glue holding it on. this might make it easier to remove.
DRZ Productions so there’s no pin?
Thanks a lot.
@@superiorflannel9063 There is no pin keeping the orange tip on. It's just alot of glue and is on the threads very tight. Also being 14mm- threads don't forget you will be turning to the right to remove it. Not the left.
DRZ Productions thanks! Really appreciated 🤩
Do a tutorial on how to remove the orange tip. It had like a flat spot perfect for a 19 open wrench but DAMN it’s hard.
Mine just arrived today and straight out of the box the dust guard won’t stay shut. I fact it looks like the lip of the receiver where the dust guard would catch, has a chip in it.
Has anyone found what brand QD sling mount works on the lower receiver?
The Avalon has the same thing with the bolt release
Will the handguard and stock fit a real mcx?
Does anyone knows if the inner barrel is 6.03 or 6.05? Aftermarket hopup units?
You think you can do a video on a disassembly and how to reroute them wires?
I could actually do that if enough people requested it !
DRZ Productions Or you could beat them to the punch. Maybe just send me some pictures or something? Ya boy is hurting with this garbage wiring. 🙄
jedslockedter4me same dude! I just got it today. Did you ever figure it out?
Elijah Gergel i ended up using hot glue to essentially make the wires go closer to the gearbox and even put a small layer of hot glue over the wires to protect them. Its helped but not completely. There’s still an immense amount of pressure I have to apply to get pts mags seated. I’ve even taking the receivers apart trying to see where in gods name I can reroute them and it’s not looking promising. 🤷🏼♂️
QUESTION: Would either of these 2 TITAN batteries fit in top or bottom of rail or possibly both top and bottom of rail with butterfly type?
Titan 3000mAh 11.1v Stick Tamiya Size: 19.5mm (0.77in) thick, 197mm (7.76in) long OR a Titan 3000mAh 11.1v Nunchuck Tamiya Size: 19.5mm (0.77in) thick, 132mm (5.2in) long
Great video, very informative, keep up the great work.
I have the titan power 11.1v nunchuck and it will not fit.
Jimmy L I converted my MCX to a KYTHERA powered by HPA ( NO BATTERY 🔋) problem solved 👍🏻😂
Hallo I’m from japan nice to meet you
Do you think this will be discontinued similar to how the Criss Vector was because of licensing or something....??? How long do you think they will be manufacturing this gun?
Krytac makes the Kriss Vector still, and, just like how Krytac is the airsoft wing of Kriss USA, SIG Proforce/SIG AIR is the airsoft wing of SIG, which means it definitely won't be discontinued to a licensing issue since they are provided by a division of the real steel manufacturer themselves
If you remove the gas block you get a lot more battery space.
Not sure the MCX selling on Redwolf & Ehobby Would be the same as yours...looks same, from Cybergun, but the rail seems different...the internal also seems different as well...
The one shown in this video is the updated version. The real steel MCX is in the second generation, the "Virtus". This is what you see here. Any MCX that's not a "Virtus" model is the older version.
This thing would look amazing with a red dot and flip up 3x magnifier.
That's what im running on mine and it does
It's the size & weight it is because its supposed to replicate the real MCX 1:1 as far as I know.
Yes it's supposed to be a 1:1 training tool
can you put a supressor on it?
Yes you can
What about m17 proforce?
Good suggestion. Unfortunately I don't own a m17 but I do have a Hudson H9 I've been wanting to do a review on.
How did you remove the orange flash hider?
With about 150lbs of muscle torque and sweat lol. It was extremely hard. Sig being a real gun manufacturer torque fits the steel airsoft flash hider onto the barrel with the same machinery they use to fit their flash muzzles on the MCX. The best way to remove it is remove the outer barrel entirely so you don't damage the gun or crack the receiver. Place a towel around the outter barrel then place the barrel in a metal vice and clamp it down super tight. Spray the flash hider with auto mechanics "liquid bolt" or bolt remover to give it some lube. Then get channel locks and grip it tight. Use big muscle power and turn the f*ck out of it. Remember that the threads are negative so you will be turning to the right to remove it. But its very very hard to get off. Its about 150lbs of torque. More then the bolts on my Mustangs calipers 😂. But trust me it can come off.
@@d-rzairsoft296 Haha sounds really crazy 😱 but I'll try to thank you, colleague
Wats the mag in thumbnail?
Magpul E mag. They don't produce them anymore.
Neat^tm
what steel tip is that?
The stock steel orange tip just sandblasted and repainted with gun paint then reinstalled . Was an absolute PAIN to get off.
DRZ Productions yeah I saw that everyone said the tip was a disaster to get off but I actually didn’t have a problem. Boiled up some ripping hot water, sat the gun in the bowl and repeated about 3 times for a total of 30mins and it came off with a little force. But keep up the great work, your review was the tipping point to buy my mcx!
But in fairness that problem with the bolt lock and the magazine problems could just be your rifle
This is true. It could simply just be the way my rifle was shipped, assembled, packaged ect ect. I used to work QA at my old job so i understand how such things can happen in a production world. But I do know a handful of MCX buyers who have also had the same issues out of the box as well. So I can't say it is entirely just my gun with these issues. It could possibly be a QA problem as well. In the end these are just Airsoft toys so it's not the end of the world. And as a tech I was able to fix these issues very easily as well.
@@d-rzairsoft296 I sent mine back for repair twice for this issue. They told me it is as designed. What I found is that the magazine pinched the wires against the mag release cross bar. That's where the wires get cut. This is also why the mag release is hard to push.
@@kg7807 Yeah I actually ripped the gearbox out of mine and put a Polarstar fusion engine in my mcx since this video. So I no longer have that wire fitting issue. However! even with my Polarstar in it magazines still keeo falling out especially BAMF mags because the actual mag catch itself is completely garbage and the mag well is actually too loose. Only G&G high caps fit perfectly for me and some G&P midcaps.
@@kg7807 just grab a screw driver and carefully push the wires up into body. I've had the Cybergun version for a couple years and had to do this in the beginning, but everything worked in nicely soon after. I'm curious how your trigger is holding up? I eventually got fed up enough, I installed a Gate Titan....butter.
That would be an SBR, not a PISTOL, if it had a brace it would be a PISTOL, but it has a stock.
Its actually an airsoft gun lol.
Also hold up, my gun has a brace on it 😂. It's not a buffer tube. Sig literally classifies it as a "brace" on their website. So you just contradicted yourself. There's no reciprocating buffer regardless of what stock attachment you put on it.
@@d-rzairsoft296 i'm saying that because it says "according to the ATF.." as speaking for REAL guns, but there is a BIG problematic difference in a "Pistol" and a "SBR", speaking as real guns... i have a real sig mcx virtus pistol, but i cannot have an SBR because they are not permited where i live, if you want an SBR (where is permited) you need to get a tax stamp and register your rifle with the ATF and wait a long time to get aproved, but don't dare to install a stock or a vertical grip while you are waiting because you can go to jail... i'm just saying this because it's a big mess with all the terms and legal stuff from the ATF.
@@d-rzairsoft296 in that configuration as A REAL GUN, it's an SBR, for the "short" barrel length and the use of a "stock".. that is not a brace at all, for that SBR, like i said, you need a tax stamp and register to the ATF where it's permited, but now the ATF is trying to make changes to the legality of Braces so everything can change any time...
Wow.. All those issues - and just for "only" $400!
But. This must just be the way Sig rolls.. Ha! Own a Sig 4.5mm pellet airgun MCX - and I have had it open several times.. Gotta fix em before you shoot em!
Hideous handguard? WTF?
yea wtf
NEGATIVE AIRSOFT absolutely destroys mcx in his rants about vfc in general
Not an SMG. It's a rifle.
Its not a rifle. It's a toy lol
@@d-rzairsoft296 you called it an SMG, so I'm referring to that.
Obviously it's a toy airsoft rifle... 🤦♂️
@@TheFallenAngel187 if I called it an SMG then it was probably an accident upon recording video cause sometimes I'll get jumbled up on camera. But yeah its a rifle you are correct.
Bruh, the pistol and the atf thing only applies in real firearms not to airsoft. And only in the us. If you wanna be technical about it, its an sbr.
I am fully aware
And I was referring to the real one, and I live in the US .

Sorry then, I got mixed up.
