    I'm researching the Sig556 as possible purchase. Any current or past owners have anything to share? What about availability of aftermarket accessories like mags, etc?

    Got mine for 1100

    In current day on the gunshow scene, I'd say $2K min. to get one from what i've seen.
    Congrats on your bargain. Have you used it yet? Aside from cost, as an owner, does it have any drawbacks?

    As a side note, I am a former long-term resident of the People's Republic of Bloomington!

    I am lucky enough to have an FFL in the family who order it wholesale for me from SIG.

    I've shot it about 100rds, nothing extensive.

    Reminds me of a 223 AK basically except with more small parts you can loose.

    Its loud as hell too, gas piston + 16" barrel + 223 = LOUD!!!!!!!!!

    I think its a neat gun, would I carry it for SHTF? probably not, I'm a FAL kinda guy. But I enjoy it none the less.

    Aww aint that loud lol! My 16" AR-10 is just kinda bassy but not that loud lol. Then again, I was a M60 and M240B gunner and I actually like the bassy sound of the 7.62 :ar15:

    I own a 556 and really like it. It is very accurate and handles well for me. I also really like its trigger.

    Aftermarket parts are becoming more common.

    I will agree that it is loud as hell!!

    I would like to get a Ruger 10/22 or a Remington 870. Not sure which, but I know I need to get something. Got the bug after buying my Kimber at the last show.
