Sig 556 for $999 ?

[Glennster]

I got a buddy looking at a used Sig 556, he asked me to check out what they are selling for. I saw Cabela's selling new ones for $999, I thought they were typically $1600..........
Is this a great deal?

You might be thinking of the 516.

Statisitcally speaking, if you can get them for a grand at Gander, you could probably find one at a LGS for 750 :P

Honestly no idea on the price, never looked into them. Impact guns has them around 1200/1400, the pistol Sig556 is closer to 1000.. hopefully that's not the mixup..

I paid $900.00 for mine a little over a year ago at PSS.

I believe the price on the sig 556 has come down a lot. Seen them for $1000 new and $899 used. Zxguns in goshen had one for $899 used.

Same gun but it's in 7.62 x39

I have a SIG 556 and the original asking price on these were +$1600 when they first came out. I was lucky though and got one with all Swiss internals with a 4-screw top rail(only a couple hundred). Sig 556s ran into problems when they were later produced here in the US. Problems arose with the bolt peening on the sides of the receiver. These problems have since been remedied, but a quick break-down should be performed when purchasing. There is the Classic model with Swiss-style folding stock or the M4-style with a buffer tube attached to the receiver. I replaced this and put on an ACE folding stock. These are great guns if you get a good one. Piston-driven means better reliability than direct impingement. There is no need to run the silly thing wet. Mine will eat anything and the stock trigger is unbelievable. Good luck in the search.

I bought mine right when they came out for $1200. Now I see them for $999-$1050.
