SIG NEXT 25 – 10” NGSW M7

Although it wasn’t part of the formal new product reveals of SIG NEXT, the defense team showed me a 10″ upper for the US Army’s M7 Next Gen Rifle.

Seen to the right is the standard 13″ barrel length version which is currently under contract.

While the model I fired was equipped with the folding stock knuckle, they told me they have demonstrated a carbine version of the M7 which has a standard AR-style collapsible stock, eliminating the folding mechanism. Combined with a 10″ barrel, the weight is 7.3 lbs (without suppressor). By contrast, the M27 weighs 7.9 lbs and the standard M7 weighs 8.38 lbs.

With the shorter barrel length is a slight drop in velocity, to 2850 fps from ~3000 fps for the current M7.
