    Dumb question but how does a swiss arms 553 differ from a sig 556?

    the sig 556 is made in the usa, and have (at least in the early ones) had some quality problems. Dealers have said they can't get the sig 556 up here because the US won't allow export.

    The 553 is made in Switzerland (much more $$), but at least it's possible to get it here. Basically, my understanding is that by getting a 553, you'll be getting a better built version of the 556.

    Any news on this? Price compared to the regular rifles?

    I just want compatible magazines between all my rifles. That's all. I'm not saying other system is better than the other but the fact is that we live in a world of the STANAG 5.56mm magazine.

    angry no kidding, I started basing most of my larger purchases (saws, plows, trucks, guns etc)
    on availibilty and + and - of the local dealers. Most name brands are reasonably comparable but if you live in deere country buying fendt can be problamatic.

    Swiss Arms is not currently offering the 553-US Lower as a stripped kit...they are only selling them complete.

    Stupid question TSE Justin and I don't expect a straight answer BUT could such a unit or similar, on a custom order and in carbine mode, be made and sold in a non restricted platform.

    I know, i'm dreaming but had to ask
