![]() ![]() American Rifleman has a good article on these rifles that you can reference for further information. The early guns had some dubious AR-style furniture on them, but eventually evolved into the solid Sig 556 Classic and Sig 556 Patrol. The Sig 556 was released in 2007, and had some features specifically for the American market, namely an aluminum lower receiver and compatibility with AR-15 mags. The Sig 556 is the American version of the Sig SG 550 rifle that the Swiss adopted as their service rifle (which was just a renamed SG 541, but not relevant to this discussion). I took a long look at them, and what I thought needed to be improved… and did it.įirst, a little history. But I do have a Sig 556 SBR and a Sig 556R Gen2 that are basically just old “cool guy” guns from a decade ago, and thus fair game. I have a number of relatively obsolete guns in my safe, but a fair number of them are in “mil-spec” configuration, and thus I don’t want to alter them. ![]() I thought this was a cool idea, and decided to embark on a similar project. On the recent Primary & Secondary modcast 187, Matt was discussing his new DSA FAL and the general concept of taking what was an obsolete battle rifle and making it new again.
