SIG553 LB

I was happy the 551 SB was offered, with the integrated F.H. Without owning any cans, it is cosmetically more appealing. I also like it from a collectable standpoint - it was originally produced by SIG, in this configuration.

Uh....brother, not owning any cans is not acceptable. Fix this ASAP.

you can handle a Swiss rifle and go "oh, this wasn't made to a price point. This was built by a craftsman".

Amen, Preach it. It’s like owning a functional piece of industrial art.

Some day soon - perhaps.

I have a trust.



Wish Dave will do that 751 SAPR Leopard print.

Fourteen more swinging Richards and we will get it done

I prefer SLR 106's as they are true Kalashnikov's in 5.56NATO but I've entertained buying mil-spec SIG 55X series since my experience with the US versions wasn't that good. I think the 55X does offer a more ergonomic approach to the AK design. Either way an AK based rifle is always going to be the most reliable combat arm a person can buy simply because they use a static ejector, a piston, and oversized locking lugs.

I have been trying to get an answer from Dave at JDI about the 553R. Basically, it does not appear to have a bolt release, however, it does appear to have a bolt catch. I just wanted to confirm if this accurate and how do you actuate the bolt catch if there is no Mag in the rifle. I assume you release the bolt catch with a slight tug on the charging handle like my Bren 805.

KTR03. I’d like to hear more on the changes to the trigger between your rifles

Thanks

I will bust out the camera and start a couple of Sig 55X threads. Gimme a couple of days. What I can tell you is that the structure of the trigger groups themselves are different. Now one is a Swiss military lower without the sear, so I get that this one is different, but the 550, 551, and 553 all have differences. The 553 is the best trigger of the bunch.

Look forward to it. Thanks

I will go to the grave with my 553.

It is pretty awesome.

I wont chump on Sigarms but these are a world away from the 551-A1 or the 556.

Save your pennies. It's worth it.
