SIG 556 Classic Screw Up!

The SIG Sauer 556 Classic is the right configuration, but it is obvious that they have cut corners on the all-important folding and retractable stock.

I just got one brand new in the box 2009 model. I paid $800 but the hand stock looks more modern?

[boricuaDV]

@Anthony5217 Yea, SIG has a fascination with constantly changing what actually comes with/on their guns. A lot of the current rifles have some "other" type of handguard and not the Swiss style handguard.

How is this better than an AR? It's an expensive piece of crap! That's what it is.

[boricuaDV]

@89schlappe It's not. in fact, on several occasions right here in the comments I have recommended a quality made AR over the SIG every time. The point of this video is to show just one more aspect where SIG missed the mark. It appears that you would agree.

that has never happened to my classic... and who ever said they paid 1600 for a 1200 dollar gun, doesnt surprise me if you feel ripped off because you were...

[boricuaDV]

Here's a clue; gun prices change. When the 556 Classic came out, it WAS $1600. If you didn't know that, then perhaps you had clue what this rifle was back in 2009. As of August 2011, they are $1000 or less. So now, tell me, since you "overpaid" by $200, don't you feel ripped off? Next time, please pay attention to when the video was posted and take the time to read through all the comments first. It will give you a better "perspective" from which to comment.

@boricuaDV im getting a sig :)

[Garduus]

I just found out that SIG just licenses their logo out, finding out that SIG no longer makes weapons anymore is mine boggling. What is and who is SIG Sauer? I'm confused now??? Well I'll just recommend to anyone who owns a SIG Sauer 556 classic and wants to keep it to ditch that poor excuse for that stock, then buy the DDLE SIG 556 stock adapter. Now your options will be much better for stocks.

go with HK!

[Anthony5217]

Thank you, was the price fair?

[Gunsforfreedom]

My 522 never did this. I would just glue it on. Still pretty lame....

[G3TGh0sT]

I would just stick with the sig p 226.. If you want a good piston system, go cheap with an ak, or shell out the bucks and get a scar-16 or better yet a scar-17..

What other problems are you having with the sig 556 other than the stock?
