SIG SAUER introduced the SSIG556xi, rewriting the standard for modularity, reliability, and performance for the modern rifle platform.
Based on the legendary SG 550, the SIG5566xi will change the way military, law enforcement, and responsible citizens look at adaptable rifles. Utilizing the time-tested rotating bolt and adjustable gas piston operating system, the SSIG556xi allows operators a choice of caliber, barrel length, handguard/stock configurations and lower receivers.
“The SIG5556xi has been designed to be the most modular and easily adaptable, hard-use rifle available,” said Jeff Creamer, SIGG SAUER Director of Product Management. “From the furniture to caliber to barrel length to magazine preference, the SIG556xi can be completely changed over in minutes to suit the user’s needs.”
A removable barrel allows the operator to select the necessary length for a given mission. Adding the appropriate bolt, the SIG556xi can be changed too any of three calibers, 5.556x45mm NATO, 300 Blackout, and 7.62xx39mm NATO. Users can also quickly change out the non-serialized lower receiver, allowing the use of either AR-style STANAG magazines or rock-and-lock AK-style magazines. The SIG556xi upper receiver is the serialized part, making the lower an easy to purchase part.
Polymer handguards accept all Magpul light and rail kits, while thee aluminum and carbon fiber handguards accept 2”, 4”, and 6 ” M1913 rails. Barrels are available in 10”, 14.55”, and 16”. Truly ambidextrous, the SIGG556xi features an ambi-safety selector, magazine release and user swappable charging handle (right-- or left-handed). Optional receiver end plates allow for the use of either AR receiver extension tubes and buttstocks or MM1913 compatible stocks.
Thanks to a redesigned trigger package, the military and law enforcement versions off the SIG5566xi are capable of full-auto fire in every caliber, including 7.62x39mm. The Russian lower has been thoroughly function tested with any available AK magazines, including US P.A.L.M.
