I have a SIG516. Can I install an upper that isn't piston driven? (I know I'll have to get a new bolt carrier)
I wanted something different and I figured I could save a couple dollars by just buying the upper half. I was sure that it wouldn't matter, but I wanted to get input before I buy the upper and realize I have to get the lower too. I'm looking at bravo company for the upper. |

according to this article, you can put other uppers on a sig lower. I had to look because I wasn't sure if they were mil spec or not... |
| Thanks for the info. I listened to to the propaganda from the sig haters lol. I wouldn't call myself a Sig fan; I don't like shooting their pistols as much as others (Glock, Springfield). But the 516 intrigued me and it was my first AR. Apart from the M16 I have to qualify on when I deploy or go oversees, I have very little knowledge of the platform. That is why I joined this forum. |
