How to tell if it's 1st gen or 2nd gen? Gas block mainly, some other minor differences. Here is a good thread: Click Here Either way a good deal, if it's a Gen 2 in great shape probably an excellent deal. Just my opinion. |

Seems like a great deal. I haven't seen any Gen 1's in FDE, probably a Gen 2. Love my 516 but the thing is front heavy as shit.

I've had my SIG 516 since about 2010.
It's been a solid and accurate performer. For about the last year, I've been using it for two- and three-gun. One of my favorite ARs. |

I own one that's had about four thousand rounds through it. It's the gun that lives in my truck. I put a couple of mods in it- trigger (ssa-e), roller cam pin.
It's never missed a lick. The only thing that I don't really care for is the forearm- kinda big and heavy. If the pawnshop gun looks to be in good shape- I'd buy it tomorrow. |

Why wouldn't it be? Only if you like pistons. I'd rather do a Colt 6920 but that's just my personal opinion right or wrong.

A work friend uses one as a duty rifle. He's never had an issue with it but when he wanted to install a new rail it was apparently impossible to do cost effectively (It's a gen 1).
So if you plan to not change much on it I would say go for it. That's a great price. Personally though I'd rather have a Colt as I am not a piston fan. Why go to a proprietary system on the most customizable rifle ever? |
