And at an excellent price, too.

Only been waiting for three month, but it was worth it. BTW, if you are in N Virginia, Virginia Arms has to be the best shop in the region. When every other local shop is gouging prices, Virginia Arms has been keeping prices at a sane level. Their sales staff is excellent, even though it has been very busy almost every time I have been there. Let's just say I am an extremely happy customer right now.

So far I've bought two pistols and a rifle from them this year. Now I just need to watch out for those damn canoes.....

I've ordered a Millett DMS scope<ul><li><a href="http://www.millettsights.com/controller.php/cat09/dms_reddot">Millett DMS</a></li></ul>

sort of like a galil, it just floats on the shoulder.

Rarely do I purchase a gun that doesn't come out of Bernie's shop.

others pointed out lack of accessories as well

Sig is insignificantly heavier than an AR, and nothing if you understand where the weight is and what you get for the weight. And its not that heavy compared to .308 rifles and most battle arms including the original M16. What can be said about accessories,, Accesories are just tacticoolness..

Selling a gun because of its weight is the wrong reasoon to sell. Especially since the 556 isn't that much heavier than a AR. Yes, it's a little more front-heavy because of the piston, but it's nothing near as front-heavy as a match-barreled rifle.

I don't know anyone who buys a gun just for the accessories. Anything you can fit onto a picatinny rail will work on the Sig, so the options of range-porn is nearly endless.

For me, a front post, some decent optics, a 3 point sling and eventually an aluminum front hand guard is all I'm going to do to this rifle. Much more would be overkill. K.I.S.S.

Mine has the same front sight<ul><li><a href="http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=124787913">Basic 556</a></li></ul>

But a pretty penny too...I have 2200rds through mine and it is ultra reliable. Definately my favorite one in the stash. I'm 5'10 160 and I love the weight of it, but its funny when I run 100rds through it and then pick up one of my standard AR's...it feels like the AR is 2 lbs :-)

Make sure you break it down before running it. You need to clean the packing grease out of it and give it a coat of CLP. Now let her rip!!
