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