New Sigg 556 Classic.....

rellascout · January 8, 2009, 10:29 AM

Why didn't they make it like this from day 1?

I think the new swiss folder is not as cool as the old one but much better than the current AR stock. I like the handguards and proper sights....

I am a little worried about the check weld. Will have to get my hands on one to verify its fit......

Wow, that looks a lot more cleaned up than the other version I saw at Gander Mountain the other day. Nice.

Am I the only one that thinks that thing is incredibly ugly?

Dave, you're not alone. Looks like Saiga decided to start making AR's :barf:

rella where did you see the pictures? My dealer is saying he MIGHT have one February/March time frame.

that picture is from one listed on gunbroker. +1 on the ugly IMO, just not digging the stock.

Yeah its on gunbroker...... stole it from the Sig forum

Its much closer to these than the original 556

DaveInPA · January 8, 2009, 03:28 PM

Those are all incredibly ugly.

That classic looks TOO cleaned up. Too smooth, like it would fly out of your hands if fired.

I have the previous generation 007 Holo, and it is all "sharked up" with hard corners everywhere. Much more identifiable at a glance.

Who knows, maybe that was their idea.

Does the stock lock into place when folded?

Have you seen that SIG is now offering a diopter rear sight + matching hooded front for $250?

Should have been on the gun in the first place.
