Damn Skippy
I fired 200 rounds of Tula this past weekend without any problems at all. I fired WWB and got 2" MOA at 120 yards. It's like Mikey It eats anything and everything. It's become ny favorite 556 |

How good is it. I poped a steel 40rnd AK mag in it yesterday and it was solid and no woble. Fired the entire mag without a problem.

Anyone know if the lowers are interchangeable between the 556 and the 556R? Wondering if I could run CPD 7.62x39 AR mags in this with the STANAG lower.
Alternatively does a 5.56 AK mag lock into a 556R lower; basically allowing one to use cheaper AK mags in a 556 instead of using the 551A1 lower/$50 SAN mags? |

I've seen on the Sig website where they're making factory SBR's now.
Any word on if they will have an R version? If not, it shouldn't be that big a deal to cut the barrel and keep it running 100% should it? |

Anyone tried their rifle with a variety of mags? Any fitment issues with Bulgarian waffles?
