[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 2512939, member: 32525"] Sig themselves even stated that, although you could use the 80k pressure rounds in your rifle that you bought or built off a donor action, they don’t recommend it. Basically, they indicated that civilian firearm manufacturers don’t currently build civilian firearms to withstand these pressures constantly. They had to build the Mil version of this rifle with those pressures in mind so it could handle them. The below excerpt is from a 2019 Guns America Digest article ([URL]https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/277-sig-fury-demystified/[/URL]) "Can you have your gunsmith rechamber your favorite rifle in SIG Fury? Technically, yes. SIG has even tested several actions from other manufacturers. A Remington 700 can certainly handle it, but SIG doesn't recommend it, and for good reason. That much pressure can be handled by existing actions, but they are not designed for it and it's going to wear on them. "We Built the Cross rifle like a tank," SIG says. Everything about this new action is engineered for longevity under the high pressure produced by this cartridge." [/QUOTE]
