Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 2006, SIG USA became SIG Sauer and began production of their newest rifle, a variant of their SG550/551 called the SIG 556. This is manufactured in both law enforcement selective fire versions as well as commercially legal semiautomatic only rifles. The lineage of this family of rifles can be traced back to the early 1970s with the development of the SG540. Earlier prototypes go back even farther such as the SG530 series.
The SIG 556 series is based on this technology but updated in several ways. First the bolt carrier group and piston system are interchangeable with the SG 550/552 series but the receiver is not. This rifle, unlike many companies who are trying to make a direct gas rifle into a piston, was designed as a piston gun. The bolt carrier rides on two rails keeping it in line (no carrier tilt). This is the first of the breed to have a Mil-Std 1913 rail on top of the receiver to allow mounting of optics. This also allowed for a detachable rear sight. The track on the upper receiver, which the charging handle rides, has two pieces of hard rubber that seal it to keep dirt out of the receiver yet allows the bolt to cycle freely. The handguards come in some different variations.
The 8.2 pound rifle provided for this article was the Classic model that had a two piece polymer handguard. Detachable rail panels can be placed in the front area of the sides and the bottom. Also, complete quad Mil-Std 1913 aluminum rail. The handguards come off when the rifle is disassembled. The rifle came with a polymer folding stock.
