Revealed at SIG NEXT 2025, the SIG 6.8 Hype is a purpose-built AR-10 platform engineered from the ground up to handle the punishing 80,000 PSI pressures of the 6.8x51mm Fury hybrid cartridge. That’s the same round adopted by the U.S. military’s Next Generation Squad Weapon program. SIG applied advanced metallurgy, reworked geometry, and reinforced steel components in the bolt, barrel, and extension to deliver unmatched durability. A novel firing pin latch allows for heavier springing without slam-fire risk. This translates into softer recoil and superior reliability, even in dirty or dusty conditions. With fully ambidextrous controls and steel-on-steel wear surfaces, this isn’t just a Fury-capable rifle — it’s a smartly refined, next-gen AR-10. Watch the full video to see how the SIG 6.8 Hype is one of the most robust and forward-thinking AR-10s ever created.
