i have thousands of rounds through my 556 patrol, i want an xi sooo bad i cant take it anymore. i have been to every cabelas from Oregon to damn near Canada and i still cant find one. i must find one arghhhh
I have seen several videos about the 556xi and they all say "fully ambidextrous controls" but I haven't seen the carrier release button on both sides. Does it have one on both sides or just the left side? This gun is the closest I've seen to the ergonomics of the RobArm XCR with the exception of locking and releasing the bolt.
jameydb After checking with Eric (Sig Sauer) on that, "the bolt release is left-hand-only but IS easily manipulated by either hand (heel of palm w/left hand, fingers, from above or below using right hand) etc, while everything else on the gun is truly ambi"
Thanks for the comment below tactiholics, but I don't like that at all. If there is a misfire, a right handed shooter will have to take off his right hand to charge the bolt and his left hand to lock it back. Put his right hand back on the grip, then move his left hand to remove/replace the magazine, then release the bolt with the left hand and return it to the hand guard to prepare to fire. Way too much movement with multiple hands and not an easy sequence. If the bolt release is by the trigger like on the Robinson xcr-l or the new Beretta arx100, it's much faster and fewer multi hand movements and the trigger hand never leaves the pistol grip. Those are much more expensive guns but much faster and easier to manipulate quickly during misfire drills. I don't own either but this is a big consideration for me in buying my new rifle.
I love my Sig 556xi - awesome rifle,.. however, I would love to shorten and lighten the trigger pull to increase my accuracy... Is there a Geissele trigger or something like that ,,, that can be dropped into my sig 556 xi???
+Tom Daly I'm not sure of any aftermarket triggers at this time but, as I don't own a 556XI, I don't typically look for their parts. Hopefully you find something!
www.maxvenom.com is the creator's website and he sells them there. I believe ultimateknife.com or bladehq.com sell them as well, I can't remember which. Thanks for watching!

Faxon arak21 better choice in my opinion

+Tom Daly Shooting Sight makes a trigger or you can also send it to Bill Springfield
Any idea where we can buy the replacement handguards? I've looked everywhere for the aluminum or carbon fiber and have had zero luck. Thanks
+Protothevost Calling Sig directly would be my best guess
A viscous TREX blitz, sent with love Via Florida from FOD. Happy Shooting
