I posted a similar topic in GD, but I figured posting here would be appropriate.
Other than B&T, who seem to be moving away from the SG55x market, there don't seem to be any other companies making accessories. If you owned (or own or have owned) an SG55x, what would you upgrade? Personally, I'd like: an extended (ambi) magazine release, more furniture options (stocks and pistol grips), a different trigger, aftermarket 20 and 30 round magazines which don't cost an arm and a leg, more rail options (optics and handguard), a replacement aluminum upper receiver (pie in the sky). An extended bolt release like Magpul's BAD? I really don't like the placement of the charging handle, I'd prefer it on the left.

An extended bolt release like Magpul's BAD? I really don't like the placement of the charging handle, I'd prefer it on the left. A lot of that has been covered already but here in America so many people were trying to make their 556s into 55x clones that they did not sell too well If you switch to AR mags there are quite a few lowers you can use. The original 556 AR receiver extension lower. The 556 Classic lower, the newer ambi 556 classic lower & the ambi 556XI lower. All of those cover cheaper magazine alternatives. Some have a ambi mag release. There is the Swiss AR folding stock adapter, the DDLES AR folding stock adapter & the 556XI AR folding stock adapter. All of these pretty much cover whatever stock options that are available. For grips you had Manticore Arms & their excellent but now mostly gone Scorpion grip, Hogue has smooth & grooved rubber options available. And there is the $$$ wood Nill Griffe grips. Shooting Sight produces a sear & hammer set for upgraded performance. Handguard rail sets were made by Sig Sauer, Troy, Samson & Kley-Zion. But all depends on what length you are looking for. The only way you can get a left side charging handle is with the ambi 556XI upper. But I am guessing a lot of these options might not be available in Canada. But personally I would prefer a 552 or 553 & leave it as is. The 553s that were just imported here had aluminum lowers. Still want one but after owning two cheaper 556s cant justify the much higher price cost for the real thing plus the extra grand for a steel lower because to me it just does not look right without the dimple.

I love my SAN 551 but I doubt there is much of a market for many accessories in the US for it. The number of guns and their cost mean that they just are not wide spread enough to produce accessories for them.
Having said that, I would like a T-1 scope rail the co-witnesses with the iron sights, or at least the bottom 1/3. I have designed a rail to use a T-1 to do it but I have not been able to get any manufacturers interested in it. I might have a few machined for my self and to off set the cost by selling a few.  |

No, the iron sights are completely unusable with the optic mounted. Yes, hence my, and seeming a few others here, desire for a mount to lower the T-1 a bit lower on the gun so you can use the irons thru the optic. |

On Gunfactory.ch , if you scroll down to their page: "ZF Montageschienen für SIG - Sturmgewehre" it will pull up the Sig 55X mounts. The third one down looks like it might be a super low mount. Sorry, the site wouldn't let me copy the direct link to the mounts.

"Vollstahl" simply means: made completely from steel, no metal alloy.
I own a 551 type rifle and have used it extensively in the past years. It is not exactly a SAN SIG, but made by Sig Sauer (German division). Except for some minor parts all components were made by SAN SIG. Some differences in the SIG Sauer model that are hard to comprehend with: 1:10 twist. Wicked sh!t Bull barrel for an already front heavy system No muzzle threads in combination with a non removable barrel (well, almost) = after market muzzle threads for 300 and + $ Ships with a tiny folding rear sight (flips down into the welded picatinny rail) and non hooded FS Can't post a picture due to my low post count, you can have a look here: Click It had an ARMS 40L RS and a Samson FS designed for the 55x series (the FBS is either higher or lower than the pic-rail, forgot the details) These have been replaced by the Sig diopter drum rear and fully hooded FS. Like these Both sight combinations give me full cowitness with my Aimpoint (Edit/... Sight! split in two due to low post count...) |

(Continued)
Despite its drawbacks and it never being better than 2 MOA, I loved this rifle. Maybe 8000 rounds through it and only one malfunction in all those years (FTE during a match with a very long string of fire and something like 110°F all day the rifle was hot like a frying pan) But I've noticed a significant decrease in accuracy last year. After reading through this story I would blame this fact to my exclusive use of ammo with bi-metal jacket. Though I usually don't believe too much of what I read online, especially not when published by a merchant, this test seems to have some amount of credence. I've checked the barrel with an endoscope and while there still is some grooves, they looked pretty bad to me. I've written to Sig about a replacement barrel, maybe with a different twist and/or different profile and/or muzzle threads. Answer: 1300$ plus shipping. Special request: no/no/no And guess what: when I got the rifle seven years ago, they would sell for 2.5k Now they are asking for 4.2 Yes: 4200$ To wrap this up: I'm moving to a system with easier maintenance. I never thought I'll buy an AR15, now I have one. |

The sig 55x is cool and I have had a few but the ar15 is really where its at for competition. The sig just feels big and unbalanced after a good ar15. |

Was the 55x's FCG derived from an existing design's?

Posted: 12/9/2016 5:40:28 PM EDT
[#25]
Yes, it's directly derived from the SG 540 series, which in turn was derived from the SG 530 series, which was a joint project by SIG and Beretta in the early 1960's. When Beretta split off, they developed their own AR-70 based on this collaboration. Their modern trigger groups are noticeably different from each other, however. The SIG has a much nicer feel, owing to the second-stage trigger plunger/spring added with the 540 series.

I didn't know S&B produced an in 5.56, never seen any here in Canada. One of the cheapest and most used plinking rounds around here. Probably gets all digested in Europe, so there's none left for you Is it better than Barnaul etc.? I'd say about equally bad. Of course you'll have all those super snipers here as well, who will claim and manage to shoot sub-MOA all day long with this ammo. I'm a bit surprised that it's that crappy, it being S&B and all. |
