Not sure if I will be able to make and post the re-assembly and cleaning videos as we do not own these rifles anymore. I will have to try to borrow one of my friends rifles to make those videos.
ok, hey thanks alot.....what i meant to say is that the bolt shaft on my uncles is blued/black and urs looks like its polished.....anyway, if an "ER" is what u described then i bet thats what my uncles is bc it came with no sights whatsoever, not ever the integral rear flip up. just an empty dove tail up front.....thanks again for ur help by the way, i have been looking at that website, actually i think its how i found ur video haha its a great site, im not a member yet but i plan on it
hey, thanks for the video.....im trying to find out if my uncles has swiss internals for him and originally i thought it did but now im not sure. The serial # is JT006xxx and i can see weld marks on the upper along with a metal buffer tube (in AR terms) and the gas block has proof marks on it BUT the bolt is black and not polished looking like yours. idk Anyway, i'm looking into buying 1 and i keep seeing people say they have a Sig 556 "ER".. Whats the ER at the end mean"??? early run? Thanks
Hmm - the rifle in that video had swiss internals, the bolt carrier assembly is blued. It sounds like the rifle you are describing could very well be one of the early ones with swiss (or mostly swiss) internals and should be retained.
The 556 "ER" in my understanding, referred to an optics ready model in the early releases of the 556 here in the U.S. That is what I had.
I recommend you try sigarms556(dot)com - not as good as it used to be, but still a ton of info there.
Best video on field stripping the sig 556 on you tube. Ordered my 556 SWAT recently, hoping to get it soon. Waiting to see more of your upload on how to care for the rifle. Thanks.
I just took my 556 out of the box and your video helped me clean it. Thanks /John

Any chance you'll be putting up a video regarding how clean a sig? Thanks.
