No not the butcher bullshit 556
The 551A1..the closest US made one that used Swiss mags not Ar mags.
That one I was told was an exact clone.

I believe in peace, love and extremely violent weapons systems... just in case that whole peace-and-love thing doesn't work out.
My SIG 551LB, an ex LE carbine and my SIG 553 SBR.

It was a standard 551 that had a muzzle extender to make it non NFA. I had Estes Adams fit a Swiss 551LB (thanks JoshNC) to it.

Not surprised.
I actually grabbed one of the WCA 551s where they did substitute everything Swiss and it was still mostly crap. Looked cool but the rail was still "screwed on" into a stamped receiver and of course no sling point so you had to attach to the rear of a folding stock which resulted in a mousetrap contraption.
Add on sights were crap / garbage and performance was dismal. Then when people started getting into the QC of random size gas ports and other SIG USA wonders I quickly sold it. Thankfully I was able to snag a "dealer sample" SG551 not long after.

You can have one in the US. JDI is the current SwissArms importer. You have to order it, ie NOT in stock. And you will have to order the 550 “conversion kit” which is a barreled upper receiver with gas system and I think handguard. Then order the lower, stock, bolt group. Will cost you around $4k.

Exeter never made an exact clone of any Swiss 55x rifle. They did import the last batch of 553s with M prefix serial numbers that were originally intended for M&M (CO Gun Sales/Armati, not to be confused with Michaels Machines). JDI ultimately took over import after that.
