Sig Sauer 716 barrel question

[flyanything]

I'm wanting to switch to a 20" barrel on my 716. These dang AR10's are just to specific. Everything does not just interchange like the AR15's where you can use 20 different manufactures to build one rifle.
There's Armalite pattern, DPMS pattern, and sig doesn't know what pattern they are. Even mags don't interchange. I know I can use any trigger group, buffer tube, and obvious stuff like stocks and brakes/flash hiders, but not rails. These .308s are a definate learning curve. I have had the DPMS also, so I got to play with switching some things around to test.

So,,,Does anyone know about the 716?
Is there any 20" carbine length barrel I can get for it?
If I sell my barrel to recoup some of the cost, would I list it as a DPMS pattern or is it Sig specific?
Any AR10 interchangeability knowledge would be nice.
And no, I can't just go buy the SCAR or REPR.
Thanks for any help.

PS: if you want to shoot it, just get me a place close to Hendersonville to shoot, and you can wear it out.

You try asking over on SigTalk? http://sigtalk.com/forums.php

 

Whatever you find out, post it here. I'd love to know what interchanges with my 716. :up:

The only responses from Sigtalk are custom order barrels or a gunsmith making one. There was, in another thread a mention of Sig making a 716 Precision model available to LEO which has an 18" barrel.
