Title: SIG 556 SBR
Post by: badpig65 on May 26, 2009, 06:59:48 PM

Can you convert the 556 pistol into a SBR, and if so what do you need?

tax stamp.

it is legal to covert a pistol to a rifle, but not the other way around.

I have a standard 18" Sig556, the folding stock could be an option.

Hey Rastus, I caught this on the firingline.com forum,  (captured jpg. BTW, what is XYL?) many options for the OP.

I'm especially fond of the SBR with the folding stock.  The gas piston works really well with supressors as compared to the impingement system.  I don't use mine very often on my AR's unless I'm in the cleaning mode.
