Had to send mine in, bolt carrier was dragging on the carrier release. Now that it is back, works perfectly. If I could find the pictures of the shooting comparison, 500 rounds of wolf, my Sig556 to my friends SKS, after tear-down, what a difference!

"the range.."I stopped reading right there..

The operating rod breaks frequently? Let me tell you something, the range where I go had one for rental that fired 17,000 rounds before the bolt broke. It wasn't even cleaned for roughly 6,000 of those rounds.It is a bit on the heavy side. And I'd personally swap out the factory forend for a quad rail, but that's jusy my preference.Everytime I take mine to the range I get two or three AR boys who wished they'd bought Sig instead. The only downside I can see is less available parts.

"Some spec ops guys like 77 grain bullets of which 1:7 twists work awesome but few shoot this kind of stuff."That's where you said it.Either way, my original comment was directed at Botox124, not you.

Shooting it on a range and admiring it's characteristics, on a range, is completely different from carrying/using it in combat.Its op-rod breaks frequently, it's overly heavy, it doesn't take well to add-on's. The only real advantage it has is accuracy, which frankly, is not much better than a properly vetted AR..

For your 2nd comment, I can see you have trouble reading because I just can't seem to find any sentence where I wrote anything saying what SF does or does not shoot. Of course, SF guys use whatever they want from AKs to the out of service M60s with the pistol grip and anything in between...anything goes there. Surely, some of them do use the very heavy bullets where the faster twist rate is needed for physical stabilization.

Really? Because I've shot with a group of Green Berets who've said the exact opposite, they wished they had a rifle like the Sig out on the battlefield. It is one of the better rifles out there IMHO.

sureshot649 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Ok, I'll share a quote from a guy in SF in regards to the SIG:"The Swiss have no idea how to build a rifle for combat."There were contractors, and SF, who used the SIG for awhile in the Sandbox. Within a year, none of them were still using the SIG, for various reasons. And before you suggest it, it nothing had to do with politics/cost/logistics/etc., but had everything to do with the SIG being a poor choice for a combat rifle, outside of Switzerland..

Uh, I didn't say a fucking thing about bullet-loads or twist-rates.However, you're wrong that SF doesn't shoot 77gr..
