Building the 556 collection back up. Picked up a 2009 NIB classic the other day. I swapped a P556 lower onto it and then added a Magpul stock and tube. Now my green P556 has a classic lower. Then a lightly used 2009 era Classic showed up with a green 55X stock. I had a 550 hand guard and DDLES hand guard ring waiting on it. The two rifles need to get to ADCO for the 14.5" barrel plus perm attached brake treatment. I think I'm set of 556s for a while...

Finally done!
Both rifles sport the Samson rails:
Samson STAR522 and the Samson STAR556. The rails give the rifles a real solid feel and the 556 is no heavier with the rail than it was with the Fishgill HG's and the stock top rail.

Picked up my Sig 551A1 and eight mags yesterday. I hope to hit the range with it on Friday...



Mounted a spare Aimpoint, but not sure if I like the setup or not.

Got a 556R in 7.62X39 and swapped up a bunch of parts. I guess I need a green 522 and 556 patrol now. Here is the 'R with the rest of the green team...

P556 SBR:
-551A1 lower
-CO Gun Sales 550 handguards, cut down/holes drilled/installed by DDLES using DDLES retaining cap
-Sig factory front flip sight
-Troy low profile rear flip BUIS
-Primary Arms Comp M3 clone with Aimpoint lowest mount
-Sig newer style straight charging handle
-MFI 3-prong 552-style flashhider

-weight 7lb 3.5oz including optic, not including mag

I removed the Sig rails and the 556 lower w/UBR stock, now this thing is so much lighter!

The gray color of the 551A1 lower is a little more pronounced in the photo, it really doesn't look bad at all with the black upper, at least not enough for me to paint either the upper or the lower to match. Only other mods I would consider right now would be the Swiss-height 552-style hooded front sight and rear drum/rail combo from MFI, possibly available soon in 2012. The optic does NOT co-witness with the sights now as the irons are slightly too tall for the optics mount.

If I were single there would be a real SIG 550 and an SSG3000 in there too. A couple of cans too.
