Dang, that's pretty awesome.
So what do you need, a US made upper receiver and some 922r parts plus a tax stamp? |

It's too bad they cut up the receiver. It could have been legally transferred to an SOT.

I could be remembering wrong but aren't the SIG USA 556 receiver trunions threaded differently so they won't accept a SIG SAN barrel?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Larry's had -LB barrels, 16 inches in length. The one pictured was from a SWAT or 14 inches in length. I think the web pages are still up. It would be fun to find one of those repair/replacement receivers he had. I recently talked to a fellow collector who has one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's correct, but plenty of folks have bee doing conversions since the 556's came out. I don't know if they bore and sleeve the 556 trunion, and rethread, or if they cut out the 556 trunion and weld in the swiss one, or what. Regardless, a 556 to 551 conversion can get done.

Yep. I realized im tapped out on the swiss stuff. I really wanted the 550 sniper but it didnt have the proper trigger pack nor stock or bipod.
751 is looking mighty tempting though. Mad respect to jdi for what hes done towards our childhood dreams at a very good price without destroying the market for those who already collect them. |
