It co-witnesses with the Aurora sights, but the sights block too much of the view through the optics so I think I will move up to the Medium height (SOCOM height?) version. |

There is def. a color difference between the upper and lower, but that is how I received the lower from SIG. If I'd refinished them, I'd have probably matched them with gunkote or something. I put a SPARC on it, and it's pretty much perfect (or will be when I get a dozen mags and the stamp comes in for the gemtech HALO). I'll post some different pics later this week.

That is nice! |

How is the sight picture here? I've debated doing this to my SBR, but I'm pretty concerned that the AR sights won't give me a good sight picture without a riser. I say this because when I had my eotech mounted to this guy it was *impossible* to see a damn thing without taking my cheek off the stock. Spent a lot of time with my face pressed into a shotgun stock like it was my favorite stuffed animal, so that's how I'm comfortable. I don't want to spend 400+ dollars on a setup to go "well this sucks" and have to start over. |

I just got the lower in last Wednesday and was going to shoot it this weekend. The Troys are actually from an AR I have and was going to let them be my sights on the Sig for a while. Before I saw the two posts above mine, I had sold the Troys and ordered a set of the Troy micros. The stock is more on the lower jaw than on the cheek. The micros should be much nicer!

Toxie,
How do you like the Sparc? Mine didn't work out so well for me so I went back to an Aimpoint PRO optic. |

I really love shooting this gun. It shoots very smooth. Here's a list of things I've done to it. I know most people with this kind of scope set up have the red dot on the other side, but my Nikon side turret fell right in the way of the red dot. I don't have to move it much to the right to be able to shoot with the red dot the way I have it. Works great and it's very comfortable shooting with either scope.
Replaced hand guard to fish gill style Blackhawk 3 pt sling Nikon P-223 3x32 with p-223 mount Sig red dot (I'll replace that soon) Mako Gen 2 QR Vertical Pivoting Bipod Pachmayr tactical slip on grip Yankee Hill Machine 6" rail extender 45 degree angle offset mount Butlercreek flip up scope covers

Did they come with it if it's a sig? Does it just snap on and off? Sorry for all the questions. |

Your setup and my sig 556 patrol swat are similar You got the M&P & SIG 551 I picked up a SIG 556 patrol swat & M&P 9MM ( threaded barrel ) LOL! I do want to adopt a 551A1 when funds allow. |

Form 1 Pistol conversion. #2: Vltor flash hider (for Gemtech HALO compatibility) Vtac sling with HK hooks. Vortex SPARC in a "HK height" Larue mount. With the popsicle rear sight, there is no cowitness. :-( I also have a 556 lower, but I think I prefer the swiss rock and lock mags. I have a threaded barrel for the M&P also, but no can yet for that.

I'm seriously considering going down the 551-A1 SBR route. I've always wanted one and it seems like now they are finally available for a reasonable price. I have two questions:
1) how much does the 551-A1 SBR weigh, and what is its overall length? 2) What's the best method of getting a 551-A1 SBR'ed? Buying a regular 551-A1, getting stamp, then replacing/cutting barrel? Getting 551-A1 pistol, getting stamp, and adding a stock? Or buying a factory SBR and waiting for stamp? |

Is there a 551-A1 pistol? I've only ever seen the AR mag version. |

You rear sight is on backwards. What part of TN are you in? If you are anywhere near FT Campbell, give me a hollar and we'll go shoot 556's some time. |
