Can anyone tell me what is up with Sig? I was all set to purchase the new Sig 556R until I compared it to my original Sig 556. Take it from me, the new Sig 556 line up are not of the same quality like the original 556 I purchased! I'm sad to report this, but it's true. The upper and lower have been cheapened. Don't take my word for it, get on YouTube and see for yourself. Sig was hoping that law enforcement agencies and militaries would purchase the original rifle, but for whatever reason did not warm up to the 556. So I suppose Sig figured why should they build a battle-ready weapon when the market is weekend shooters only. That's my guess, which disappoints me in Sig who never goes cheap on anything until now. We consumers/shooters need to get on Sig's website and email our opinions on the new 556. Let Sig know that you don't purchase second best. They will most definitely listen.
