What will your SIG 556 look like?

I am very excited about this carbine. Who knows what SIG is going to unveil, but I will use aftermarket parts and services to make this

Always loved the SIG 55X series… :cool:

I really hope that they are able to offer it with the more traditional stocks rather than the M4 style collapsable buttstock they were originally pushing.

VB your PS-fu is weak. The saw grip is too big. :smiley:

Cut me some slack. All I have is MS paint :smiley:

I would really like the Sig 556 SWAT model, with the Sig folding stock. I would be more happy with an AR type grip, so I could mount a MIAD.

Then, I want to mount an Eotech 552.D1 directly to the top rail. Add some C-products SS mags, & I will be over-joyed.

6

I would prefer a 551 set up with the original SG 550 folder and cheek piece, regular height top rail, but I would still use the B&T four rail handguards.

If it doesn’t take standard furniture, I’ll whittle my own side folding AR stock adapter out of billet aluminum if I have to. Why they would take advantage of the AR stock and still not have it fold is beyond me. I think a folding CTR stock would look right at home.

Honestly, it would be a novelty rifle though.

All you need is this with AR15 mags and you are done…

I thought this was supposed to start selling this month. Impact guns still doesn’t have any and they say Fall 2006 now instead of August. Was its release pushed back? I have a friend who’s interested and I’m just curious.

Thanks,
Sean

SIG is now saying Dec06/Jan07.

I was just at impact yesterday and according to them SIG is saying October - November for the 1st 1000 and Dec-Janurary for the big push of 3000 units.

The release date of any new product is whatever the manfacturer says + 12 months when it comes to guns. If SIG had just made a 551 with a forged lower with everything else being the same, I’m sure turn around would have been much faster

11

SIR, NO SIR!

One of THESE with AR mags, please…

12

These are made in the USA, so I don’t think a 551 would be any faster into production.

I handled one at SHOT and didn’t like the top rail/charging handle setup too well. I went to pull the bolt back and raked my finger against the scope mount on the rail.

I think they did good with the handguard, it’s not all rails so it lacks in the CDI factor but it has enough for a vert grip and a flashlight.

First FN and then Sig, good times for AW fans as manufactures are starting production in the USA. I hope more join in, Styer? H&K?

13

I was very disappointed in the Sig rifle at shot. I couldn’t believe that they put that elevated rail and an AR type stock. They should have left it like the original series but using the AR mags would have been fine.

If they build them like the shot show models I am afraid that I won’t be getting myself one like I had planned on.

14

Supposedly Steyr recently submitted their TDP to the ATF and are awaiting approval. IIRC, the American AUG A3 is going to be called the AUR or something along those lines.

H&K is going to be reintroducing the SL8-1 and the USC to the American market. I haven’t heard when they’re expected to hit shelves though.

15

I wouldnt bother with an SL8 but if HK cranked out a G36, that might get my attention

16

If they make one like this available, I’d buy one:

You may have seen this pic before… :smiley:

My Ideal 556 right there. I’d fork over quite a bit of cash if that is what SIG made

18

I bailed on my pre-order. All the internet rumors of pinned collapsible stocks and no flash hider made me think of the “good” old days when Slick Willie was in office.

I’ll wait until the finished product is on the market before sinking any money into one.

Plus, I’m really digging FN’s offerings for civvies.

19

Well, the raised rail is the only way you are going to mount say an EOTech on there and still be able to use the charging handle from what I can remember.

Damn you SIG and your lack of updates :smiley:
