Are Sig 556's legal in Canada?

[Dr_Scholl]

Or does it operate too much like the Sig 550?

 

[Polyshot]

Because SIGARMS said it is based on the SG55X instead of the Classic Green that we got, so no go......

It should be, but alas, it is not

That's all right, we don't care about it anyway, we are able to get the ones that are closer to the original instead of that bastardized "dog's dinner".......

Why would anyone with access to real Swiss Arms guns want that hideous pile of ####?

I agree, I have heard some poor reports of the sig on another forum.

i found out that the 550 556's are prohibited and you are unlikely to ever own one. in fact i got ##### slapped for my error

 

[mr.kendo]

I thought 550's are legal in Canada? Im pretty sure i saw a guy with one at the range during spring break.

No, you saw a PE90, which looks similar to a SG550, but IS NOT THE SAME!!!

By law.
