How many rounds can you run through it before you start to see malfunctions?
I picked up a pistol 556xiR and SBRd it. It went back to Sig for a few things like a loose swat handguard, rattling gas tube, etc. They fixed all those issues. I can run about 200 rounds though it and then I will start to see occasional short strokes. I think what is happening is that there is fouling collecting in the gas cap which is binding on the gas rod operating smoothly. I haven't had a chance to run it again with a lot of rounds. I wanted to test 200 rounds though it, clean the fouling out of the gas cap making sure the piston head spins smoothly/freely and then continue to test. |

I think on that day I put somewhere between 90-120 rounds through her, and cleaned the rifle afterwards. So, I don't know. I rarely bring just one gun and shoot that high of a round-count in one setting. At least, not since leaving the PD and now have to pay for my own ammo!
I tested it half suppressed and half unsuppressed on that day. |

Mine has run like a clock right out of the box.
I broke it in set on the dirty gas setting for 3-400 rds. then set it to standard w/o any problems. |

I'm glad your's has run well from the get-go.
What drew you to the 7.62x39 Sig? I like AK-47s, and have lots of AK mags and ammo. I like SBRs, but 5.56 SBRs kind of neuter the round's effectiveness past 50-100 yds (depending on the specific ammo used, of course). So, I was looking for an SBR with a heavier hitting round. What I really wanted was a 7.62 krink, but with better ergonomics, accuracy, and the ability to suppress it without worrying about baffle strikes. The Sig 556xi Russian was my perfect platform! |

I have AKs also but wanted a more modern design in 7.62x39. I still use both. |

I SBR'd my "pistol"... the damn thing is a hoot to shoot. I haven't had any issues with feeding it. It seems to chew through everything I throw at it. I haven't played with the gas settings tho
My brother calls the thing "His Suchka", he seems to love it too. FA |
