Swiss arms / SAN rifles FAQ

[R711]

So, my question is, when will someone start producing the lowers for the Sig Black Special to take AR mags, but retaining the original folding stock from the rifle. To be honest I have both the standard stock and collapsible stock from Swiss arms and I like them a lot.
Regards R711.

Swiss arms already does. SG553-US.

I don't know if they sell the lower separately.

 

[R711]

The US produced one is considered a 550 variant, however if one was made in Canada presto-changeo legal in Canada.

The SG553- US is not US produced it is made by Swiss Arms. The only variant that is US produced is the 556 clone by Sig Sauer because of Billy Clintons import ban of 1994. They cannot import foreign semi auto firearms which includes anything Swiss Arms.

Canadian manufacturer North Eastern Arms made an aluminum lower for the Swiss Arms rifles that accepts AR magazines at one point. Some guys here have them on their rifles. Also the lower is just a part, it has nothing to do with classification, not regulated. Unlike the AR series, on most other rifles the upper is the actual firearm Swiss Arms rifles included.

Did the 553-US ever get made, as in more then the prototype? Next to a 1920's Thompson MG with wheel mag this is my other dream gun, with the spring rod issue resolved and taking AR mags I could not ask for anything more.

 

[R711]

That right there is my dream combination swiss perfection with the ability to take the AR family magazines.

You can buy a new NR barrel, and have it installed and de-registered.

 

[kwonnypooh]

Thank you. I was hopping to get one for sigarm just paying 3200$ not 4500$ with an extra custom barrel.

Just curious if the flat top irons are adjustable?

Yup. Front post is windage adjustable, and rear is elevation adjustable.

 

[Grapeshot]

If anyone was still curious about how to adjust the trigger to reduce the sponginess, I just made a video about it.

If you adjust the trigger properly, you can get a nice crisp two-stage trigger with no creep.

 

[Odd Shot]

Great vid! Thanks!

 

[jackdanyel]

Someone has tried to remove the rubber butt pad on the folding stock ???

I don' t find any information source about this...

thanks.

 

[Grapeshot]

I've only seen them broken off. Why do you want to remove yours?

 

[onetwentyish]

Excellent vid Grapeshot. How much for an overtravel stop?

 

[auracle]
