Gents,
Some of you may know my "Break my P2000" thread from over at HKPRO. Well, I decided to do the same to my new SIG 556. I plan to shoot 200 rounds a week through it until something breaks, keeping up with all the details along the way. Also, since this is a, relativly speaking, new weapon, I will be logging in any modifications and accesory info I have.
Here she is now...
.
After waiting more than a year, I finally got my SIG 556. Now begins its destruction!! I picked up some federal ammo, and will begin destroying it this weekend.
On Friday I ran 100 rounds of Federal Ball trough it without a hitch. I have an Aimpoint on a Cantilever.
On Sunday I ran another 120 rounds through it. 40 rounds of Federal, 60 rounds of Monarch Brass and 20 rounds of WWB. I had to turn the gas setting to run the Monarch, but otherwise it functioned fine.
I used my Aimpoint M3 and magnifier. This is such a nice combo. If you have multiple rifles, the magnifier and Aimpoint combo is hard to beat.
I have ordered a Larue fixed BUIS and a Samson front sight. I am looking forward to toying with them. Although, I think the magnifier may be out if I use the fixed BUIS. Hmmm. I can always switch the folding BUIS off my M&P.
I plan on running the SIG just like I have my P2000. For the first 1000 or so rounds I will clean it regularly. After that, I will probably try for 5000 rounds intervals. I know that will void my warranty, and I don’t care. I want to wring this baby out! I will be taking (realistic) torture test suggestions!
