I did this once with a Colt AR15. 3000 rounds in 2 days without cleaning or lube and it didn't jam. Back then I picked up the ammo for $490. Now it would be 4 times that so if I do a test it will have to be 500 rounds in 1 hour.
When I first got my P556, I shot 500rds of Wolf Military Classic through it in less than 1 week before I cleaned it---not a SINGLE problem---Sig mags and PMagsLt Tim said:I recently shot 200 rds in about an hour at our range. Other than the top of the gun getting hot, it ran perfectly. Slow fire, and a several body armor drills, 2+1, until the mag was emptied. There was not one FTF or other hiccup. Used Pmag, AR mag by Colt, and the Sig Factory mags.
The last few rounds were TAP ammo and my grouping was excellent. It may be 300 rounds short of the torture test, but it still confirmed my faith in my rifle.

I'm..... so..... very..... disturbed......millerphys said:Toture Test??? Let's paint it pink and feed it wolf ammo for a month straight and lube it with that old pretty smelling COLT oil.
I think I can make my SIg talk in less than 1 week with that kind of treatment.
If that doesn't work, I will paint Hello Kitty faces on the new a2 buttstock and replace the front forend with a coat hanger wrapped in muffler tape.
If it doesn't talk yet then, I will clean the barrel with a steel rod and stainless brushes from the front using WD40 as the cleaner and lube.
Still no talking, the torture continues., I will shoot it "ghetto style" turned sideways at 25 ft targets shaped like Tulips while only using the old style backup iron sights and thrusting my hips forward with each shot.
Then I will get medieval, I will create a 22LR conversion for it and tell everyone it the coolest AR-15 I have ever owned and replace all the parts I can with only GENUINE COLT stamped sights, buttstocks, Mags, etc.
NOW, that's a torture test.
If' that's not enough, I will send it off to have it hard chromed with Gold accents. and have PIMP bejeweled into the buttstock with Rhinestones. Then I will put in into many many RAP videos featuring such lyrical mastepieces as,
"MY SIG MY GAT, MY B*TCH GOT SHOT FOR CALLING THEM WACK! !!"
I will make my sig talk, we just need the right torture test.
Just FYI Ullie has passed away. Secondly, there is a lot of data the Swiss have out there on "torture" testing.if the platform did not work it would be replaced by now. These guns are shooters...Not meant to be stuck in a safe with a quart of oil all over it, not meant to have 20 gadgets like fuzzy dice in a Caprice dangling off it.....it is meant to be a battle/service rifle. If we did not live in an ar15 brainwashed gun culture we would not have the the slander against the rifle from all the arf.com crowd stirs up here. Trust me, I have had the patrol, i now have the rifle, and an SBR. They all go boom every time.May have missed it. If I did please show me the linky.
Otherwise, I want to see a Sig 556 torture test. I want it to be a brand new all American made one. I don't just want to see it fire until the shots keyhole. I want a running log on how it performs over months/ years.
I don't know who should do the shooting, but I am willing to chip in the some cash to get this going. Not much, since I am back at college and only working at the shooting range part time, but I am definitely willing to chip in $20 bucks here and there.
I think to unite this little forum, we need our own mascot, like old dirty baztard over at FAL files. Let's either dismiss or prove that our American versions of the Sig rifle are the real deal, or just weekend warrior fluff.
Anyone else in on this, ULLIE? Since you moderate, some guidance and support from your end would be MUCHO MUCHO wanted and needed.
I don't care who gets the gun, and who shots it. As long as they have the spare time to properly record and accurately record the gun's performance, maintenance, and hick-ups. Just like the FAL rifle test, we should never clean the gun, only lube it. In this case, maybe we should clean the barrel at least to keep testing accuracy.
I'll get off my soap box now, but this forum needs its own mascot. Something we can take and show to ARFs and all the other poodle punching caliber semi lovers that our rifle is worry of some respect.
Mine all have the black worn off of them from ejection love, a nice upturned half moustache. But I still drizzled oil over them and stuck them in the safe.These guns are shooters...Not meant to be stuck in a safe with a quart of oil all over it
Lol..Mine all have the black worn off of them from ejection love, a nice upturned half moustache. But I still drizzled oil over them and stuck them in the safe.Ya know, I had to break them in...and in....and in....and in....
