     My buddy  got to play with the new Sig 55X rifle.  I'm sure everyone already knows but it is the civillian version of the 551.  He handled two models: The Commando version that has a four rail pictanny forearm and the basic model wich he did'nt say much about.

He was super excited about this rifle.

It takes AR mags also, I think?

How close to the real thing did it look?
BTW, How long is the barrel on a 551.  Is it a 16"? Will the 556 be the same length?

The only thing I find a bit off, is people who just recently saw Sigs offerings at an event at the Sig plant before the SHOT show supposedly had to sign confidentiality agreements.

Sig releasing a civy 55x series is a bad thing?
