Very nice rifle, Rimfireguru.  Of course, I have to ask why the Ford engine block paint?

It's a "Blue star".

Apparently what Swiss arms was able to do was designate them as "blue star, red devil, black special etc. etc.  so they weren't dubbed as SG55X Variants (prohibited under Canadian law )  



I would have preferably purchased a Green Classic or a Black special but the price was right on this one. That and it hadn't been fired outside of the factory

These run 3K+ tax I would never purposely make A Smurf rifle. It's just not right.

I might send it to be redone in the future. Right now I'm more interested in shooting it

So tell me, if you had the opportunity to import these rifles, would you take them blue or not take them at all

That's interesting, I had no idea about that.  Congrats on the rifle, regardless of the color it's still a great rifle.   Hopefully the US Sig556 variant will have the option of going with the original furniture you have there when it comes out this fall.

The us sig556 looks like a nice little toy at the fraction of the price of these buggers.
Once again we don't know for sure yet but considering the name the Sig 556 will most likely be dubbed as a Sg55X variant and not importable to Canada. Who knows, we'll leave that up to the "firearm forensic experts"

There's always the Robarm XCR, should it actually exist

I would gladly take it blue, then just paint over the original finish with any black/grey spray paint I could until I got it professionaly refinished.

The rifle shoots great, but I have not had a chance to shoot it with the PRS.  I just put it on Sunday.

I hope it's accuracy matches it's 3K $ tag.  Not everyone has one of those!

Using Black Hills 175gr. Match ammo, she shoots .75 - 1.0 MOA. This rifle is a Springfield and has never given me any problems. I did install a USGI bolt the day I got it, just to make sure there would be no problems.

Just got it put together today after a stock and optics change:


RRA upper & lower finished in Norrell's molly resin tan
RRA LPK w/2 stage trigger
Magpul MIAD & PRS
Samson MRFS-R finished in Norrell's moly resin tan
Denny's 16" WOA stainless match barrel with matched bolt

I was not able to get the accuracy I was after with the TA11 ACOG I had on it so I decided to try the Leupold 3-9x36 MR/T.

Thanks. Nice looking Rifle. I would like to get a sound suppressor, but this state doesn't allow individual ownership of them. I have been thinking of moving to a border state sometime that does allow them. I admit that I am jealous.

I posted the picture at the bottom 17 months ago and she is just now complete (well almost ).  Got put on the back burner for a while as several opportunities came along to complete other projects.  

First day out in the field with it:

Black Hills 69gr match king @ 110 yards.  


Specs:
RRA lower
McCromick 2 stage flat
Vltor rifle length stock on carbine receiver extension (needed for my LOP)
Sierra SPR grip
RRA Winter trigger guard (wanted more clearance between the trigger and guard but its going to be replaced by the magpul that is on the way as it is ugly IMHO)
RRA upper
Wilson (RRA) 1:8 20” HBAR stainless barrel Duracoat Dark Earth
Samson MRFS-R
Tango Down grip panels (got rid of the pressure switch pocket as that will be a much         later project for this rifle, or I may just go NV)
PRI Gas Block
Larue SPR mount
Leupold Mk4 6.5-20x50 Illu TMR

Still has less than 100 rounds through it but when I zeroed it indoors at 50 yards it was shooting .3-.4” with BH 69MK’s off the bipod.  We will see how it does when I can get it on a bench with some different ammo.

My latest two.  The uppers were built from Summer Sale items except for the free float tube on one (I already had it) and the detachable carry handle (I already had that too). The barrels and uppers are from the sale and the lowers I bought complete from ArmaLite.

AR10A4 with EA chrome moly barrel.  I broke it in yesterday and will be taking it out tomorrow to get the scope sighted in.  I got it roughly sighted in while shooting and cleaning, but the damn day was so windy, I couldn't get it zeroed.  Not only is it hard to zero something when the wind is gusting to 20-30 knots, but the lousy target stand was all over the place.  I got a new stand to try out tomorrow.

Oh, the function on the rifle was perfect using SA surplus.



This is an AR10A4 with fixed front sight and the infantry weight chrome lined barrel.  It had the postban brake and I got that off and put on an A2 style flash suppressor that I already had.  I also got it roughly sighted in with the iron sights on the detachable handle.  Again, the function was perfect using SA.

With carry handle attached:



With red dot scope instead of carry handle:



Altogether, maybe $1100 or so in these two rifles.



If it's a Colt, it's a copy of an original ArmaLite.

I am not LARRYG36.

Hi Larry,

SA receiver, Sage EBR stock, LRB 18" barrel, SEI DC Vortex FS, SEI Ext bolt release, SEI Hooded Front sight gas block. Larue SPR-E mount, USO SN4 scope. And then some fun with krylon...

Forgot to add the Dave Fisher Suppressor.

Hope that helps,
John
