Best thing for the AR since eugene stoner invented it! Turns the AR-15 into an accruate AK 
I would have one but im working as getting as many of these rifles before there banned. only worked with two POF uppers and theylook great. I have some pictures around here somewhere I took..

I want a POF 16". But the price tag is slowing me down. When I get one it will probably become my "go to" AR.

Is that the understatement of the year!ShipWreck said:
I want a SCAR when they come out but I know I'll never reach that amout of cashola unless I use it for EVIL!
There is an interesting thread
http://sigforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9666031561/m/956106649
on SigForum from a guy who teaches a tact response class for contractors going overseas (some neat pix). In that thread he says that very, very few of the piston driven ARs make it through. I thought that was a very interesting comment and not at all what I expected as I have heard nothing but good things from my friends with the Sig 556 - of course, I doubt they are tough on them at the range as these guys are at work. I don't know that would stop me from buying one.
(I dont know if I can link to another forum so I will apoligize in advance)
ETA - the quote is about 2/3 of the way down the first page.

The prices are coming down some, thank goodness. I think the 16" POF upper with no frills is down to around $1000.00 now.ShipWreck said:
I love SIG's. I own more of them than any other gun. But I don't want a 556. The only one I picked up rattled like an old AK47. My first impression was to laugh at it. I guess I was expecting a Porshe and saw a wolkswagon instead. I've not read anything on the net to make me believe the one I saw was a fluke.

I really dont know what to make of that thread though......
He doesn't call out the Sig 556 specifically but piston ARs in general. However, if a lot of guys who know a lot more than I do who lives depend on reliabilityare now using the HK416/417 rifles and the LW uppers, I think that speaks for itself.
