Ok time to get one I need another 556 and have been on the fence on the green, but I love the 551 hand guards.

Nice looking AK you got there!

I sure love the utility and function of that weapon.  I think you're smart to go with the 551 hand guards as well.  From what the Internet tells me, that's a good way to shave off a lot of front weight and change the balance of the rifle.  Congratulations!

Just got some in the store. Two with side folders and one is the SWAT rifle.Had three in about a month ago didn't last but a week and a half. Excellent chose in gas piston rifle. If I didn't love my POF so much I would have gone with the SIG. I wish they would build one in 7.62. Enjoy it

I'm not a huge fan of the sidefolder since its a one peice plastic buffer tube. but other than that it's great. We weighed the complete rifles and the Commando was .4lbs lighter if I remember correctly. You can definitly tell the differnce. It feels like a completely differnt rifle. I friend just baught the normal 556 so we will take them out Saturday and bring back a range report. IMO the 551 handguards are a must for this rifle.

Anyone make 551 handguards for the AR-15?  I figure that'd get me a "close enough" look without having to blow $1300+ on another .223/5.56mm.

Did you ever get your SIG?  I picked up one and have B&T fore end ordered for it, pnce I put the ACOG on it and a SOPMOD stock shes almost my favorite rifle.  I like the 551 hand guards but they are always out of stock sooooI'm thinking just order a Commando and be done with it.

The gun came as pictured. It was cheaper to buy it in the commando version than do the mods. Plus the OD Green is kinda cool.
