@Midwest_Ind
Is this close enough to hold up placing an order for some small stuff on your website? Also, if yall are waiting on stuff like retail packaging, I don't care!

Couldn't wait any longer on the other parts, as the ACR is not getting any long-term love these days.
However, one step closer! There is a link on the website. Sig 516 Product Page |

We will begin work on these in the next two weeks. That being said it will be 6-8 weeks until we will have parts for sale. This isnt a overnight process. Lots of steps to get them out the door. I will update you all as things get close.
Thanks Troy MI |

Weight on the hand guard is 8.4 OZ. including all mounting hardware. It uses the factory barrel nut and the install is super simple and fast.

We will be doing a pre sale on them in about a week. Can’t wait to get them to you all. We appreciate your patience as we get these done between all of our other products. Without further ado:    Thanks, Pete |

We have it designed but right now I am happy to get this version going and released . I want to see how long it takes to move this first run of parts. If they fly off the shelves I could be convinced to move on the shorter version. Troy MI |

I’d buy one if it was lighter than the OEM rail, which I’m sure it will be.
Edit- posted before I read the whole thread. Does anyone know how much the OEM rail weighs? |
