And again, even though it comes with a better stock than the G36 IMHO, the variation or adjustability is not there. One size fits all is a problem for others. I don't think they really even needed to test it, regardless of how good (or indeed bad) the gun really is or is not, there are just too many problems to start with it for the SAS use. SIG made an absolutely superb gun for the 90's that hasn't really been able to keep up with the times. I think comfortable home market does that, just like it did earlier to Valmet.
That's funny. Optics and rails work just fine on mine.
As for quad rails, the barrel isn't free floated to begin with so a quad rail is exactly the same as the existing handguards. Not to mention that most handguards accept rails (see pic of rails on 551).
Seems to me the G36 also doesn't have an adjustable stock so not sure how it is better than the SIG. I also don't see how the G36 is revolutionary as it is just a AR-18 in a modern plastic shell.
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.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
