That 'sig' mosquito from
What I've read about are not good at all ! Issues etc would rather have a proper sig .22lr conversion kit I.e icon arms ! Surprised no one continued what icon arms were doing

[Gh0st]

Slight tangent but still related, what happened to Icon Arms?

Edit: Sorry quick google has the answer. RIP

[MistAgain]

The icon used a real Sig bottom end .
So it would never be legal here .

Simples ................... Sig does not sell frames

The Icon Sig frame originally had a slide and barrel on it .

Therefore it cant be converted .

Sadly the owner died in a (motorbike IIRC) crash and no one has followed on his work.

They are legal as he got frame as parts ! It was never legally
A frame when it left sig
Just like how Suffolk
Rifle did SLRs
Using origninal
Parts
Icon arms were selling these sigs legally and none have been confiscated

I hear some rumblings that GSG are releasing another LBP "The Firefly", they already took over making this for Sig Sauer in the states (When it was called The Mosquito & Basically a P226 clone in .22) & now it looks like we could be geting a UK legal version over here.

Seems Blackrifle are already ahead of the game listing it on their website? wonder if they have any more details.

The UK market could certainly do with some variation.

The GSG "Firefly" should be with us around the end of this month. We'll post a review and proper pics as soon as they are available.
