Sig 556R

[Guest Capt. Thunder]

Has anyone had any experience with, or know anything about the Sig 556R?

I was really interested in the 556R when it first showed at SHOT.

QC concerns have been ever growing of the rifles being pushed out by SIG USA, and these concerns have extended to the 556R. Military Arms Channel got one of the first production run rifles and he had a really hard time with it. Seemed he just couldn't get the thing to run with current production Wolf ball ammo.

Now, if I buy a modern semi-auto rifle chambered for 7.62x39, it damn well better run whatever cheap crap I decide to run through it... If not, why not stick with an AK? The Kalash family are not picky eaters...

Thank you, Poak. Since my initial post, i've done some research. This thing has too many problems.

It seems like everyday SIG USA is moving into Mopar territory... Great ideas executed poorly w/ questionable QC.
