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? |
|
tag-I will have one, there will be no asking the wife for permission this time.
|
|
When will they be available for the rest of us? Or are they already? and at what price?
|
|
Does it have the M4 collapsible stock like people are saying or the folding stock like the 551s?
|
|
I thought only team members could tag threads. |
|
|
a man can wish right? |

|

|

anyone know if the barrel is free floated? Doesnt look like it in fact the sight/gasblock looks just like a hk-91 to me
|
|
If I didn't have a good used cars worth of money invested in AR's, I might be interested.
|
|
Oh Yeah? Do tell.............No really tell............. |

THAT barell, in your pic, is 14.3" Long. Here is a pic of MY CUSTOM 551 with a 16" Barrel: |

AR mags? I would definitely consider it. I'm still not holding my breath.
|
|
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. |

Here's a group buy, for this rifle, that I am part of:

Wait a minute... How the hell does this get around the 1989 Import Ban?
|
|
Manufactured in NH. |

Supposed to be identical to the L/E model except civified for commercial sales. I was also told it will run around $1200.00 retail ?? Call sig and see whats up.

...what? "What we've got here is... failure to communicate." Sig releasing a civy 55x series is a bad thing? |
|
|
