![]() The rifle takes the standard AR-15 magazine and fires the 5.56 x45 cartridge but essentially uses an AK-47 type of gas system that is adjustable. ![]() If i had to describe the Sig 556 Classic SWAT I would say its the best parts of the AR-15 mated with the AK-47 with a dash of Swiss style and quality control added to it. I have been intrigued by the Sig family of rifles for years so when I had a chance to acquire a Sig Sauers 556 Classic SWAT that had a very low round count, I had to grab the opportunity and take a risk. In the whirlwind of the anti gun movement at the time the rifle was released its easy to tell why consumers chose to spend their money in rifles they knew like the AR-15 rather than new rifles they might not have known much about like the Sig Sauers 556 Classic SWAT. The AR-15 had been for the most part standardized long ago and was considerably cheaper than the Sig Sauer 556. Like the Sig 550, the Sig Sauer 556 never gained traction, It wasn’t a mistake on Sig’s part so much it just was a rifle that was lost in a sea of cheaper rifles. The Sig Sauer 556 Classic SWAT rifle was Sig Sauers attempt at bringing an updated version of the Sig 550 series of rifles to the North American shooting market.
