Hello all,
New here, big Sig Fanboy, been scouring the forum for info over the years and finally decided to join, and hopefully be a soon to be Sig 556 owner. My dream gun since... ever.
Anyways, here's the 556 in question.
Its a TP serial #/build. 0011xx to be exact.
From my research that would be an early release right?.. possibly 2008-2009? Receiver has the rear takedown pin and front screw type takedown pin. Also has the unequal ribs near the magwell, and uses a buffer tube style rear, Would this be considered a Gen2?
I've been back and forth, gathering info to make sure this is the one I want. Just trying to see what its history is. Previous owner swapped a Samson rail and a Phase 5 buffer tube on it. I'm assuming it had a fishgill forend prior.. and the factory plastic buffer tube. I would be the 3rd owner. 1st did the swaps and most use. 2nd had it for a bit and is now trying to get out of it. I believe its a good deal, enough so to do a FFL transfer for it, vs staying local. It does have some wear on it. Mostly the upper. The usual wear around the ejection port.
@Bosley , I see you in here a lot and seem to know some info and history..
Anyone else? Any info, opinions, etc. are welcome! Cheers, and hope to be around more!
