Our American Soldiers are so much more that just fighting men and women. They are a willing sacrifice on the alter of Freedom! For that, we are eternally grateful.

I don't know the weight but it is a bit heavy.

.308
I don't have any ranges around here that go past 700 meters, and with the cost of ammo, the .338 was not the one for me. |

how has your 556R performed? I am in the market for an accurized AK platform and this seems to fit the bill perfectly.

What did you use to blacken the 551-A1 lower? |

Looks great! How's the cheek weld on those sights? I've been hesitating doing a quad rail because AR height sights seem so very very tall. |

SIG #20 came home with me today in the form of a 716. Wasn't planning on getting one but the LGS got one in and the wife got it for me.

Yesterday 6/21 I was able to pick my M400 Sig Sauer up from the dealer. Took a few pics today.

Sorry. I'm late to the question. I'm using Troy Micros and it honestly is a tad higher than I would like. The only reason I bought the rail last year is because it did have the fish gill hand guard (ewww) and was already placing a Troy order for something else. I do like the rail and once I switched the regular Troy sites for the micros, I'm happy.

I do not know of any transferable converted fullauto 540/543 rifles in the US as I believe the semiautos were imported in very small quantities. About a year or two ago, a full auto converted transferable 541 came up for sale. I want to say it was at a James Julia auction. I know there are some 540 and 541 pre-86 dealer sample "keepers" out there. Essentially transferable to dealers only, but unlike post-86 samples they may be retained after giving up ones dealer license. The semiauto 54x series is pretty rare in the US and commands a significant premium. So rare in fact that I have ten steel factory thirty round 540/543 mags that I bought several years ago thinking they would fit my 551 (they don't) and I can't even find a buyer. I take it you are a dealer in the UK? |

I would've liked to purchase one if I ever move back to America (US citizen), but I see some of the prices the non-Americans SIG rifles can make in America (many are fairly cheap in Europe). No, it sadly takes far too much paperwork to deal with any prohibited weapons. This rifle was at a range in Poland. They had all kinds of exotic, historic, and modern firearms. |

522 trying to look as mean as the big boys...I was also trying to get a little artistic with the shots a la Stickman. Kind of fun. I may have to invest in an expensive camera.
