I had Sig send one to me also. It is better than the old one with the EoTech. It does not angle down as much as the Griffin charging handle so it will function with the stock folded.
Same here...WayaX said:My new Sig 556 has the new charging handle. I thought this was old news so I didn't say anything.
Of course it does. :roll:WayaX said:While the angle is improved, mine wiggles all over the place compared to my old one. The plastic on the end can also be pulled off very easily. One step forward, two steps back.
So much for SIG's customer service. They should be2Adefender said:I called SIG customer service this week, hoping to get one of these new charging handles. I was told "we do not sell them", and he refused my request. I was not a happy camper. :x
I just pushed it together and it seems to be fine. The only thing I might do is try and clear up some minimal side to side play on my swiss handguards.Reblyell said:Good luck with your new part, KuroNeko! Like others here, my 556 came with the new handle too. What did you use to secure the grasping knob to the charging handle? A good solid push into place, or a bit of super-powerful adhesive? Best!
Glad to hear it went together okay! My handguards have a bit of play as well, both forwards/backwards, and a bit of up/down at the gas block. As they are original Swiss guards, I am hesitant to 'mess with them' in order to remedy this play. I guess I'll just live with it.
