| Does the 556xi have different generations like some of the others? I've got eye my on a P556xi with the intention of making an SBR. This seller has had this item for awhile and I can't help wonder if it's an early generation and no one is interested? |

I believe there was only one version.
The reason they're not popular is because SIG seems to have dropped the ball on it. It was suppossed to debut in 2011 but it got shelved. It was pulled off the shelf and worked on successfully in 2013, but by that point SIG had turned the MCX from a 300BLK SBR into a full product line concept and it stagnated the XI. Same reason there's been little update to the 516. It's a nice gun, but IMO it has no future. |

Thanks for the info. I contacted the seller, telling him that I was coming to Texas in the next couple of weeks and if he still had it, I'd like to look at it and if we had a deal, I had a FFL in my state that could do the transfer.
His reply was "no store, online sales only". I was really disappointed with the "don't care if you buy it or not" attitude answer. Before I lay out $1200.00, I'd like to see it and look it over first. |
