In this video the Sig Sauer rep says that the SIG NGSW submission is completely compatible with both their version of the intermediate 6.8 round and 7.62x51 as the gun is built on the chassis of a 7.62x51 rifle , only the barrel needs to be changed.
I was wondering if our forces ever wanted to tinker with an intermediate 6.8x51round (Sig SAUER submitted round), shouldnβt it be possible to convert our SIG 716Is the same way if we ever require as all parts the 7.62x51 rifle including magazine are compatible with the 6.8x51 round except the barrel, which afaik shouldnβt be that difficult to change.
Also does anyone know the characteristics of this particular round and whether it could be suitable for our environment and terrain.
