Which Sig 522 do you like?

[Lex]

522 stock or 556 stock. Stock handguard is lighter but lack of weaver rails. However, 556 has three rails and little heavier...

[Scratch705]

will you use the rails provided by the 556 stock? if not then stay with the 522. if you will then go with the 556 stock.

function over form for me.

I like the 556 because i can install a bipod (vertical grip) via the Weaver base. That is the only reason why. Other than that, I like the oem hand-guard.

If anyone is interested I just took the factory 556 stock off my rifle, and will be placing it in the for sale section tonight. It is the same as the one in the lower picture.

I like the Swiss style stock better, to me it just feels more comfortable. Rails can be easily attached to the 522 type stock if you need them. On my early 556 I did attach a Harris bipod but just couldn't get use to the feel of the stock so I switched them out for the 550 type and the rifle instantly felt better.

are teh forearm interchangable with the 566?

[mbarnes]

I think the 556 handguard looks cooler, but the SWAT version's full rail I like more- but that's just me.

Do you mean 556? Yes interchangeable..
Same gun with different HG....

Yes they are interchangeable! Pete


NOTE: That SWAT handguard is cool but it WEIGHS a lot--I have gotten rid of mine!
A piston rifle like the 556 doesn't need anymore weight up front.

I prefer the 556 stock, looks better thought out

[dodge]

556 hands down & it's got much more utility to it with the functional rails
the swiss guard is too bland, but appreciate it's historical look

here's my rig like it looked a month ago

Sig556 with 522 handguard

I think i am going back to the standard handguard. Alot lighter and easier to grip. Fish gill is good for attachments.... like bipod...
