You can get a Gen 2 upper for $599 and a 516 lower for $145

They will be in stock soon

That said, $1600 is not terrible for a complete one especially if it is 14.5" w/pinned and welded muzzle device already. No waiting and no building.

But if you are counting dollars, you could build your own cheaper and with the trigger group and stock you want, featureless or mag locked with your preferred systems.

Thanks. At website is all sold out and unknown it will be back. If it will be in stock for sure it will be different price as what in the website asking for. Im planning to get it but want calguns opinion before I jump into it.

FWIW...

Since April 2020, none of the SIG 516 posted for sale in the WTS long guns subforum for more than $1200 have sold.
They appear to get bumped, until the seller withdraws the sale, because no one is willing to pay the $1300+ asking prices.

The last SIG 516 (set up as a featureless) that was sold, in the WTS long guns subforum, went for $1200 in May 2020.

Exactly. An "out of stock" price is meaningless. Especially if you want to make sure you have it in hand before any slow-witted septuagenarian tries to ban them.

Here's just the upper that they SAY will ship in 5-8 weeks for $569:

Then again, that might be in Optics Planet weeks...

Wonder if you can just slap that on an AR lower? If so, that would be a cheap way to get one.

And yet, all the ones online at $1700+ are sold out.

Midwest gun works (the links I posted) have a huge banner up on the home page saying these are the prices, and the stock is coming soon so get on the notification list now. I would not have posted it otherwise. I may be a lot of things, but a bad shopper is not one of them

Good data, thanks for sharing. I guess everyone really wants the Hk 416/MR556

The uppers have already come and gone.

I have 3, two in rifle format and 1 in pistol. They are heavy for a 5.56, but most piston rifles are, except for the sig mcx. You won't regret getting one. It's a joy to shoot as most guns are.

I bought two extra complete uppers (14.5" barrel) last time Sig had them for sale, $399. Just need to get them pin and welded.

[michaelf3]

And yet, all the ones online at $1700+ are sold out.

Agreed!!

[cyphr02]

I've got a couple and they are great. If we could have cans, they may be the best 556/223 host in its class... but on the other hand, the upper is pretty chunky.

[sigstroker]

Well, there's the MCX with switchable gas.

The uppers have already come and gone.

And will come and go again. Get on the list if you want one.
