It's the LB version (Long Barrel) 11.9 Inch (303mm)
The SB version get an 9.5 Inch barrel (240mm) If I'd tell you the price, it will throw you out of your shoes. I live on a "high-price-island" (Switzerland) and everything got the double price plus compared with the US. For example: I've ordered the Aimpoint in the US. Summarized with transport and tax the scope was 30% cheaper than in CH. |

So are they moving away from the steel lower receivers on the new guns? I saw a picture of trade show where there was a new 7.62x51mm rifle with the same type lower. The pics on the Swiss arms company web site still show the steel lowers though.

I ordered a bunch of SAN parts from Switzerland in my 553 clone build so I have a pretty good handle on how much SAN stuff costs over there. I mostly want to see if the MSRP prices I've seen for the SAN rifles are accurate, if you don't mind. |

Very very cool. I love the 553 LB; really wish we had these in the US. Yours looks to be the LB barrel with removable flash hider?

Actually the first run of 556 Classics had the Swiss folding collapsing stock. I bought a complete rifle just for the stock back around the 2007/8 timeframe, then sold off the other parts. Managed to snag another Swiss folding collapsing stock a few years later. They are around and occasionally pop up here in the US. Mike Otte may still have a few as well. |

Hi,
They are about CHF3300+ retail, I believe. This is north of US$3700 (you might find them up to 10% cheaper in a sweetheart deal). This includes the version with the standard hand guard, and not the B&T handrail on the example of the OP nor the forward grip. But the prices are increasing all the time for SAN products. Cheers, Farmer |

So is the basic way to tell if it is a Swiss folding/sliding stock is that it does not say "Sig Arms" on the side of it?

Hi,
Here is a price list from one famous/infamous local retail outlet... https://www.gunfactory.ch/langwaf/images/preisliste_sg550_553.jpg All with -1 are 10" twist, those with -2 are tighter (7?) Diopter-Visierung is the original drum sight PIcitinny-Gehause is with the rail Rotex with the Rotex muzzle brake. SB = short barrel, LM = long barrel, AL = Aluminium, Oliv-Grun = Olive green, Schwarz = black, Sand = Sand, Blue is blue. 550 = PE90 is the semi-auto version of the Swiss StGw 90 assault rifle. 1CHF = approx $1.12 7.62x39 are cheaper than the 5.56, 553 are much more expensive than the full size. Stuff is readily available, if you have the cash to fund it... Not shown is a very nice black and tan "desert" version which is currently tempting me. |

Also, for those wondering Auf Anfrage = Upon Request |

The order reflects the reliability. All magazines fit easily into the slot but not all worked reliable. The recoil is almost twice compared with a 553 with 5.56, but the control during the double tap is given. I miss more reset speed on the trigger how I'm used on my other SG models. My gunsmith signaled me, there is a workaround. I've ordered the rifle with a 4-position gas regulator, but it was delivered with a standard 2-position regulator. My gunsmith will order the "right" one. My suppressor "ROTEX V compact" from B&T doesn't fit on the flash hider. My gunsmith has to clarify, why. Some issues, which I don't know from the past. Keep you informed, what's going on. BUT: I love it anyway!
