Hey all,
I have a buddy that wants to get his first AR, I already have a Colt. He has been looking through all kinds of websites and catalogs and such. He has never owned an AR or shot one. The other day he asked me how the SIG 556 rifles compare to the AR style rifles. I don't know much about the SIG 556 other than having a chance to handle one for a few minutes in my local shop several months ago. It seemed like a really nice rifle and wouldn't mind owning one myself. I don't know if I would rather have the 556 than a nice AR though.
So if you don't mind, can you all tell me about the 556 and how it compares to an AR? Does the 556 have any advantages over the standard AR? If given the choice between the 556 and a nicely equipped AR, which would you pick and why? Hopefully I can get enough info from you guys to be able to advise my buddy on it.
Thanks for the help and your time.
