I realize the 556 classic has been replaced and is 'old news', but I also know quite a few were sold. Anything in-between the classic plastic and the crazy heavy full rail sampson.īut, alas, my normal google-fu is failing me. So recently I started googling around to see what I could do and what I could find - ideally an easy to install mlok rail (as easy to install as the quad rail Samson was, for example) system would be fantastic. I still love the gun, but it also feels 'left behind'. So the 556 has been a garage queen for quite a few years, to say the least. It brought the weight up from an already too heavy gun to a crazy too heavy gun, but at that time, who knew about saving weight, Mlok vs kmod, aluminum-magnesium and even aluminum-lithium alloys, Ti where it made sense, etc. I couldn't stand the all plastic but no real attachment points on the 556 Classic, so soon after I bought the Samson full rail system which was pretty easy to install. Good stuff but don't make me retire the 556 please :) Later SIG then came out with the SIG 516 and M400 to hit the AR market, the 556xi to upgrade the 556, and then even later the MPX and MCX. This was during the time where many people were having quality issues with SIG, especially their rifles - lucky for me my 556 has been flawless - runs perfectly, no jams, no feeding issues, relatively accurate, etc. ![]() ![]() I was (and am) a huge Sig 550/551 fan and so before I became familiar with ARs and other rifles, the 556 was purchased first. Ok, one of my first bullet button rifles bought, when I first heard about the bullet button, so probably a decade+ ago, was a SIG 556 Classic.
