    They aren't welded on real SIGs. There are mounting points for the rail.

    That is really interesting. The lower is trully "In the white".

    Is there some govt contract out there that this is aimed for, why else go with AR15 mags?

    It's that simple.

    It has my eye, but any real possibility of fruition?
    And it would have been nice if they made the mag release reachable.

    Wholly cow-nice! It's like a real Swiss 556 classic lower. If only somebody had made this a couple of years ago and it cost a lot less...oh wait.

    What good is it if they are just copying SigUSA? Won't it be tainted by then? What makes this better than a 556? Looks like Vaporware to me.

    Interesting - I thought that was the reverse. Learn something every day.

    There was a run of 552s that had both the diopter rear and a welded-on optics rail. A dealer friend of mine had one.

    That is a fullauto rifle.
