SIG 556 Photo Thread (just pics please) (Page 11 of 16)
Here's my two. I have a SBR 556 in the works, not yet completed.
A previoius post I put up on these two 556 rifles: "A tale of two Sigs" |

My 556-ER...I strive for simplicity, haha.
Magpul MS2 Sling, Troy Industries ambidextrous sling attachment, iTAC Defense CP1 Prismatic scope http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/AFSil80/IMAG0038.jpg I'm noticing a lot of Sigs in this thread still have an awful lot of coating around the ejection port...get out there and shoot 'em more, that's what they're meant for, haha! |
|
I can finally post in this thread!
556R - just picked it up this weekend; I went and put a few boxes of Winchester Q3174 through it - since everywhere I checked locally is out of cheap Ruskie ammo (this is my first 7.62x39.) I guess I'm going to have to break out the plastic & order up some mil-surp online now.

ETA: Just a mock up. Not a serious loadout.

+1 always wondered which ones would fit Arrendo Arms mag button for the AR- was playing around with it, and it is alright but there is room for improvement. The Arrendo will not let the stock latch in the folded position. I have a design optimized for the SIG 556 in the works, will be the follow on to the Scorpion Grip.

The Knights Armament enlarged mag release that comes with their drop-in AR15 ambi mag release is a great addition to the 556 lower. What the 556 lower still needs: - An adapter to allow the use of AR15 grips (ie Magpul MIAD) - Ambi mag release |
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. I think I'm set on 556s for a while...

Plain Jane... I did stick a YHM Phantom and A1 stock on it. My go-to hog gun. |

How do you like the diopter sights?

The Burris LRS itself weighs in at 17oz. and the mount is probably at least another 5 to 7 oz. I had a similar configuration for a while using a Trijicon TR24G and trimmed quite a bit of weight going back to an Aimpoint Red dot. I guess it just depends on what you are using the rifle for ey! This configuration of yours looks like it may weigh a fair piece with that flashlight and bipod on the front.

I do not like them
in a house. I do not like them with a mouse. I do not like them here or there. I do not like them anywhere. I do not like Sig Sauer diopter sights. I do not like them, Sam-I-am. I don't like them at all. I prefer the popsicle rear sight much better. I couldn't get used to the V notch sight and the 100m peep blocked out too much periphial view and impossible to use with an optic. Originally Posted By cyclone:

Rifle > Carbine
After years of being on the fence for a Sig 556, I finally got one. Had wanted to go with the new 551 style but I got this new for $925 with the Swiss style stock. Handguards were a little loose, so I tightened them up by adding a plastic zip tie aroud them inside the front cap and they are perfect now. Also added a more aggressive flash suppressor. And I really like the look of the Lancer translucent magazines with this rifle.

Congrats on getting off the fence. You've made a great decision on a fantastic rifle!

Nice choice in the Patrol model. It's not so front heavy and offers the same reliability you expect from the 556 platform.

 I REALLY need to get some lower profile rail covers, probably LaRue Index Clips, to replace the XTMs. On a slimmer AR rail, XTMs are no problem. On something with as much beef as my 556, I feel like I'm grabbing a 2x4. |

On something with as much beef as my 556, I feel like I'm grabbing a 2x4. Thanks! It started out with the folding CTR and (sub)standard flip ups that came on the first runs of 556s. I swapped out the front sight with the Samson flip up, right now I've got a LaRue BUIS on the back, and I installed a Griffon charging handle. It lasted that way for a bit before I changed the stock for the UBR. Most recent things swapped out were the trigger guard, and the flash hider. Oh, and since I get it asked a lot, I didn't get it refinished, there was a distributor special edition that were done up FDE at the factory. This was actually the first long gun I ever bought. |
