@Mrprotectionone at current point in time I only have money to purchase one, which would you or your guy in the Marine Corps suggest 516 or 716?
main uses, self defense, target shooting, recreation, maybe hunting if I don’t get another gun… highly likely later, but I’m outta job and low on money due to college

I LOVE my 556 and this will more than likely be my next AR purchase!
@ Toyman07:
One of the guys in my Marine Corps League Detachment has a 516 and a 716 and they have ate everything we have put through them and begged for more! Are you sure you have the piston system on the right setting? If so I would send it back to Sig for warranty work. Sorry to hear your having problems and hope it gets worked out for ya!

@Amateur946
Not a DI gun the 516 is a short piston gun.

@DezRat762
Imo either would be a good choice and ak would be way cheaper,the only thing that worries me about 5.45 guns is the availability of ammo as there aren’t many companies that produce 5.45. But don’t worry Ak’s are freaking nearly indestructible (much more imo than any sig) and parts etc are very easy to source. I own the sig 516 and 556 so I’m no sig hater. I also own a Romanian AKMS (non WASR) 7.62 and have an Arsenal Ak 7.62on the way. Comparison is in order

@Raiderusmc1
I disagree tho everyone’s circumstances and weapon (defects etc) my be different etc.. If you’re talking about the 516 Ive used cheap federal bulk ammo to the good stuff and it works flawless for me same goes for my 556 classic, which Ive used even crappy wolf ammo fires like a charm each and every time. I hoping my Arsenal Ak (on order) will perform as well.

@Countavery
There is no 526. You must mean 556 it’s the civilian version of the 551/552 Sig military rifle.

I have had one for about 6 months and it is very ammo picky.

I was thinking of getting an AK74 in 5.45×39 because of reliability, but after watching this I’ve decided that the Sig516 Patrol will be my next rifle. Awesome design!

I have to say im very impressed with your complete water submersion test,75% impressed with the other test! Not like lwrc where their dust covers are always sealed,and shake it for 3sec and wait another 3 to drain finally shooting 5sec later???whats up with that? So congrats Sig
January 27th, 2012 - 01:14
Still Direct Imp…Gas System? Oh no is piston?
January 27th, 2012 - 01:45
@Toyman07 What is a Sig 526? 556?
January 27th, 2012 - 02:09
Lol! Have u guys notice something? The ejection port of the rifle is closed…so really…if they gonna test it in the mud…as might as well leave the ejection port .whats the sense of testing it into the mud or dirt?? It only dirty the outside and not the inside of the rifle…
January 27th, 2012 - 02:22
way to ruin that shirt in the mud lol

@lostd00d
Any Piston fitted rifle would be more reliable in these conditions than a DI gun. As the 556 is virtually a modernized and optimized AK. Don’t see why not. Come on by the Sigforum lots of 556 owners there. As you can see from the majority of videos/comments. Youtube is NOT a place for serious discussions.
January 27th, 2012 - 03:36
@lostd00d It is the Cadillac of the 556 rifles. HK SL8 (G36), Sig 556 and also Sig 516 are all good. You can’t go wrong with a steyr aug if there’s any available too.
January 27th, 2012 - 04:17
is the 556 as reliable or more pls help
January 27th, 2012 - 04:18
awesome rifle hope to get mine in the near future!!

@Toyman07 Wow, You need to sit down and take ten deep breaths, just relax man, it’s an internet vid. I’m not a gas piston hater, I own a gas piston rifle. I do like sigs, and the fact is there are only a few ways to counter-act carrier-tilt and it happens to be the same in a few different rifles, sig just happened to do it a little later than most. I hope you didn’t blow any blood vessels writing that comment. I do not own a Sig but I know for a fact their quality is top notch.

Well, I’m impressed. Sold.
