SIG556 SWAT Like the SIG556, the SIG556 SWAT features the same high-performance two position adjustable gas piston operating rod system engineered by SIG's sister company Swiss Arms and marries it to a trigger housing that not only cuts the rifle's weight by a pound but is designed to accept standard AR magazines. The SIG556 SWAT features a 16" military grade cold hammer forged barrel, chambered in 5.56mm NATO, with a twist rate of 1 in 7". The high performance flash suppressor provides enhanced flash reduction and features an ACME type thread for compatibility with select industry sound suppression devices. The flash suppressor retains a standard .5 x 28 TPI thread pattern, ensuring compatibility with after-market accessories. The vented tactical quad rail forearm is machined from aircraft grade aluminum alloy and hard coat anodized for durability. The quad rail features four integrated Picatinny rails for mounting a wide range of accessories. The Picatinny rail equipped receiver is made of high strength carbon steel with a durable wear-resistant Nitron® X rifle finish. The rifle comes standard with the flip up combat front and rear sight system. The trigger housing is machined from an aircraft grade aluminum alloy forging with a hard-coat anodized finish designed to survive extreme conditions. The rifle comes equipped with a smooth two-stage trigger, ambidextrous safety and is designed to accept standard AR magazines. A 30-round magazine is supplied with each rifle. The rifle features the MAGPUL CTR Carbine Buttstock. This buttstock is adjustable for length of pull and features a unique locking mechanism that friction locks the stock to the receiver extension for zero movement. The ergonomically designed pistol grip features an integrated storage compartment. The rifle also includes the Grip-Light vertical forend grip which features a removable tactical LED flashlight and mounts directly to the quad rail forends. Select versions feature a folding stock with the ability to collapse, providing he best of both worlds.

Jul 23, 2008 - did that come from the factory that color or was it dura-coated?
mschouston Says:
Jul 23, 2008 - This was direct from the Sig factory, it was a distributer special, there is one other series in the 556 distributer special as well from Sig, the Commando Bush Green 556. This desert one is a jaw dropper though.

Jul 23, 2008 - Woah, that's super cool. Do you know if the folding & adjustable buttstock can be found seperate of the rifle? Man, I'd like to lay my hands on that piece of kit.
mschouston Says:
Jul 23, 2008 - Yeah dude, it'll be available direct from Sig at a later date, last time I called them, they said all parts were allocated to factory production. I've been dying to get my hands on just the quadrail
nominalvelocity Says:
Jul 23, 2008 - Excellent, when these goodies come out, I know where my cash is going! Thanks for the vid.

Jul 23, 2008 - Hate to be a reply freak, but here goes: if you get tired of waiting for Sig to put out on the quadrail, I just found that Samson Manufacturing has an aluminum quadrail called the STAR for the 556, it's relatively pricey, though. (not likely that Sig's offering will be any cheaper) Looks like they also make a good front flip up sight for the gas block. Mmm.

Jul 23, 2008 - Man that weapon is a BEAST, Absolute reliability. Sig is also supposed to be releasing a digital desert 556 later this year.

Jul 23, 2008 - Darn that looks better than mine... I'm a bit upset now.

Jul 23, 2008 - Just to point it out: SIG and Sauer are 2 different manufacturers. They produce the handguns toghether and the SSG2000/3000. The 556, which is derived from the 550, has nothing to do with Sauer. Anyway, this SWAT version looks cool

Jul 23, 2008 - why doesnt the military use the 556 instead of the m16 m4 variants seriously it seems like a much better weapons system
spawnaling Says:
Jul 23, 2008 - Dude, thanks for the great price on the sights!!
mschouston Says:
Jul 23, 2008 - No problem, stop back in if you need anything else.
YF681 Says:
Jul 23, 2008 - Its a graft thing: the corrupt poiticians buy the rifle so they get the owners campaign contributions for there re-election.
