Agreed., I love my 551 but the import marks are HUGE. I still want a 553 with rail that I can SBR.

Without them we would all still be lamenting the lack of Swiss guns.
But, I wish JDI would have done gray and black complete 551s with steel lowers and more discrete import markings. JDI has done a real service in continuing the import of Swiss 55x. That one can order a 553 with their choice of short or long barrel, gray or black finish, steel or aluminum lower, green or black furniture, diopter or pic rail upper - that is truly awesome.
Ha. Well said.
