SIG 551 hanguards

Well price aside will this Bruegger & Thomet AG SIG 551 handguard work on a PE90?

552= commando right ? if so yes, but the rifle is alread front heavy - any more weight and it would take on the balance of a boat anchor.

hmmm I could mount some QD helium balloons

Mildot:

No they will not fit. The SG 551 is a midlength gas system.

B&T does not build a quadrail for the SG550 series of rifles.

PE90 = SG550
Carbine = SG551
CQB = SG552

Photo to illustrate shown here:

SG551 is the one in the middle!

 

[mildot]

No the 552 is the commando.

 

[fed007]

ahh my mistake... easily corrected.

Doesn't TSE carry a rail system for the PE90 series?

No rail system for PE90.

Just the 552 and 551 series rifles.

I have one mounted on my Black Special Target. Because the rifle gas system etc is longer, you need to reconfigure the attachment system as the bayonet lug cannot be used. I used an ARMS AR10 riser to connect the top of the 4 Rail to the receiver.

Can you post a pic Redleg?

pic please

and subsequent markup of the rail

And remember, boys and girls, using one rail to hold another on is a less-than-desireable method. It's kind of like an ARMS SIR, but not as good.

I like the extra weight. Get's the rifle to 'hang' better - for me anyways.

Redleg:

Thanks very much.

If you ever get tired of that handguard, I would consider it for my SG551 clone!
