The brand-new SIG 516 Mohawk at SIG NEXT 2025—a rugged, short-stroke piston AR with serious upgrades. SIG has taken everything it learned from the MCX and earlier 516 generations and applied it to the Mohawk: steel-reinforced feed ramps and cam path, a non-reciprocating side charging handle, adjustable gas system, Matchlite Duo trigger, and full ambi controls. Chambered in 5.56 NATO with a cold hammer forged 16” barrel, the Mohawk is designed to chew through M855A1 and any adverse conditions you throw at it. Chris from SIG walks James through the details before they hit the range. MSRP is around $2,200 with availability expected in the next month or two.

So they finally increased the height of the receiver like HK416 for the push rod, unlike the old 516 which is using the regular AR receiver that limits the barrel nut design.
I am not quite sure why SIG needs to have the MCX, regular AR and also the 516. Too many products - they should focus on MCX and bring the price down on that instead.
