[Phazuka]

That's a nice looking rifle Phazuka. I'm going to be building something similar in January. What is that flash hider you've got?

Standard A2, I'll be swapping it out for a Battle Comp 1.0

I like spending my money with BCM.

Funny you mention it. I never get buyers remorse when I use BCM. I always know I got a good deal.

I would say BCM is what other companies should strive to be. They sell great gear at fair prices. Their web site is easy to get around. They ship lightning quick along with email notification and their customer service is Awesome.

Sig stopped being a top tier manufacturer of combat firearms about 6 years ago. Their P2XX line of handguns began showing QC issues in 2005. The 556 series of rifles was poorly executed from the start and has failed to live up to the quality standards of its Swiss cousins.

The new CEO of SIGArms is the former president of Kimber and a lot of SIG fans are lamenting the "Kimberization" of SIG.

The 556 appears to be a dud. It is NOT the SIG 550.

Bahahahaha!!

I wanted a 556 Classic for quite a long time, until I held one. Yadda yadda yadda, I'm almost done with another BCM intended to fill the role the 556 would've filled.

Thanks Tom. I was already familiar with the corporate leadership aspect of Sig's fall from grace. The added background does illustrate the importance of leadership in maintaining a corporate ethic of quality.

the 556 series is garbage, and Im no sig hater, Id love a real 55x series weapon.

I bought my Classic for $1160.25 when all was said and done which I believe was a fair price. The red dot that came with it was junk and the buttstock seems kind of toyish. I can't say for sure that it wouldn't hold up though, as I don't pound any of my rifles' buttstocks enough to damage them. Other than those two complaints, I don't understand how a "real" 55x series rifle would be so different that one would be "garbage" and the other would be a good weapon. Please educate me as I've never held one. I should have bought a Swiss one back in the day when DSA had postban rifles for $2000. The fact that the 556 takes AR15 mags is a definite plus in my book. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise and I'm betting I'm not alone. The only other negative that I can think of about my 556 is that it's front heavy. I don't see how a Swiss 55x would be any different in that regard.
