Sig 551s are inbound.

I think a 551 pistol with 14" threaded barrel would be the heat. Perm attach a FH of the same spec as the 16" OAL 551 barrel and you have a title-1 rifle.

I'd rather do a 551 LB for title 1.

That would be cool but I think the point is ATF is saying importable pistols need to have less than 16 inch barrels

ATF sucks. The first MKE 94Ps came in with a 16" barrel.

Maybe JD could order them with a 15.5 inch barrel with no attachments. Then we could thread them upon import and attach whatever device is needed.

They'd still have to install 922(r) compliance parts to get the foreign part count down to ten.

These are going to be limited imports anyway. I don't see anyone producing custom barrels and whatnot. Just be glad they are coming in at all and order one if you can reasonably afford it. I personally would prefer a 16" LB but I would also prefer 20" barrel 751, doesn't matter I don't think either one is ever going to happen.

So I have a choice of how badly I want a .308 model at all. I'll probably end up with a 751 and make a really expensive SBR even though it isn't terribly practical.

100 imported...still in stock...resistance is futile

I got mine a couple of weeks back. Added the SB Tactical Stock, paired to a swiss M4 folding adaptor. Because of the help here, that took about ten minutes. WOrks so well I may not Sbr it.
