Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this INCREDIBLY SCARCE and LIMITED EDITION semi-automatic rifle for a penny-start auction; this is the Sig Sauer / Swiss Precision SG551P “730 Swiss Anniversary”!
The Sig Sauer SG551 16" 730th Swiss Anniversary Edition is an extraordinary limited release of just 52 pieces, with this particular example being #10 of the series. Created to celebrate centuries of Swiss craftsmanship and innovation, this exclusive model represents the first time SIG Switzerland has paired the rifle with a metal certificate of authenticity plate, challenge coin, Grunig & Elmiger target sights, Wyssen Defence custom axe, custom sling, and unique laser engraving, making it a complete collector’s package. What makes it even more remarkable is its history—its barrels were produced in the late 1980s for the U.S. export market but were sidelined by the assault weapons ban, resting untouched in SIG’s vaults until rediscovery in 2020. This rare release blends unmatched heritage, exclusivity, and artistry, making it one of the most desirable SG551 variants ever offered.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Sig Sauer SG551P is a semi-automatic version of the famed SG550 series rifles, designed and manufactured in Switzerland by SIG. Built on the proven 550 platform, the SG551P (P for “pistol” in import classification) is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO and features a compact 16-inch barrel paired with a robust gas-piston operating system that ensures reliability in harsh conditions. The 551 series distinguishes itself with its shorter profile compared to the full-length SG550, making it more maneuverable while still retaining the legendary Swiss precision and craftsmanship. The rifles are renowned for their cold-hammer-forged barrels, tight tolerances, and smooth handling characteristics, which have made the SG550 family a benchmark in military and law enforcement service rifles worldwide. The SG551P preserves these qualities in a semi-automatic package tailored for collectors and civilian enthusiasts, offering unmatched build quality and durability.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The SG551P preserves these qualities in a semi-automatic package tailored for collectors and civilian enthusiasts, offering unmatched build quality and durability.
Ergonomically, the SG551P benefits from features like a side-folding skeletonized stock (in rifle form), adjustable diopter sights, and ambidextrous safety controls, while its long-stroke piston system reduces fouling and contributes to smoother cycling. Its 16-inch barrel strikes a balance between accuracy and compactness, making it effective for a wide range of shooting applications, from precision target work to practical defensive use. Additionally, the rifle is compatible with proprietary Swiss polymer magazines, renowned for their durability and the ability to clip together for rapid reloads. Compared to more common 5.56 rifles such as the AR-15, the SG551P represents a premium option, prized for its heritage and the meticulous attention to detail associated with Swiss firearms. For collectors and shooters alike, it is a firearm that combines battlefield-proven reliability with exceptional craftsmanship and rarity in the U.S. market.
This particular example is not just an SG551P—it is a limited edition Swiss Precision SG551 16" “730th Swiss Anniversary” model, one of only 52 ever produced. To mark the anniversary, SIG Switzerland included an unprecedented set of collector’s items: a metal certificate of authenticity plate, a challenge coin, Grunig & Elmiger target sights, a Wyssen Defence custom axe, a custom sling, and distinctive laser engraving celebrating the edition. Most notably, the barrels used in these rifles were originally manufactured in the late 1980s for the U.S. export market but never made it stateside due to the assault weapons ban. They remained in storage at SIG until rediscovered in late 2020, making their eventual release even more historic. The combination of its rarity, provenance, and premium accessories elevates this edition to the pinnacle of collectibility among SG551 variants, offering both a tangible piece of Swiss history and an unmatched opportunity for discerning collectors.
