That's the LE trade-in 551-2 with 16" OAL barrel. The rifled portion of the barrel is about 14". Not shown is my 551-2 SBR with short 14.3" barrel, which has about 12.5" of rifled barrel.Originally Posted by Eurodriver

Sexy stuff.
I agree with you that the SIG 551 rifles are the best looking modern assault rifles ever made. Period.
The AK has its classic coolness, the AR has its ubiquity but the Sig 551 is just downright clean.
Why do the loudest do the least?

Ugh, you had to throw a Belgian in! I've never seen one, never handled one and never fired one. But man do I want to!
Also when did you get a 16 inch 551? Did you snipe that off of Midwest Distributors? I remember seeing one there some time ago.

FNC is a great MG. Mine has become a favorite. As a semiauto, I probably wouldn't own one. But with 3RB and auto it is great.
I've had the 16" 551 since around 2010; purchased from Roger at Midwest Distributors. It was one of the first groups of 16" 551s he received in trade. It's pristine. Barely any signs of use. Doesn't even appear to have been handled much.

Even the semi auto's are great, kind of like a 5.56 FAL rifle.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

Sig 556 Patrol cut down by ADCO to 14.5" with a permanently attached brake. (Full disclosure-I've been a forum member for years but I now work for the co. that makes the rail-mounted accessory seen here).

That's a nice looking set up. For me however, I don't trust the US made SIG rifles- at all. The ones I had were junk and both were sent back multiple times to the factory to get them to run correctly. I promptly sold them off after they finally replaced them with new ones. If it's going to be a SIG, it has to be Swiss- not some cheap US clone.
