The only non-ar SBR candidates that truly compete with the sig are the bren 805 and the b&t apc 223 and perhaps the galil ace or other ak variant. How would you rank them? Would it be fair to consider the sig 553 the pinnacle or would you chose something else. Considering the money I would spend I want to make a good choice as I am looking for a quality sbr I can suppress.

With the 4 position gas valve they are ideal suppressor platforms. You will never find a more well made rifle. They are a little heavy and they don’t lend themselves to mounting gadgets.

Owning one makes it hard to get interested in ar15s. I only wish I could afford more.

What models do you own?

**68ar15** · 11-28-17, 21:36

Just a 553 sbr

The 9 inch bbl

Is it possible to custom order a 551 with rail?
Will there be any 751 longer barrel options?
Please tell me the 553R being brough in, eventually, is the 12" and not the 9" barrel?

The 7.62x39 performs well with a short barrel.
