    So I made a bolt handle...Tikka

    Turned it down a bit... Think it's about where I want it. Now I just need to paint it to match, then blacken the whole bolt with Caswell.

    So I made a bolt handle...Tikka

    I'm pretty happy with how it turned out... Even though it's not done. It still has that factory curve to it, I think I might heat it up and bend it straight. Here is another pic

    So I made a bolt handle...Tikka

    It's like 1 1/8" x 1 3/4". Just the knob itself... hehehe. I'm gonna turn it down to about 1" x 1 1/2" or 1 1/4" I think. That'll be about right. Lighter too... It weighs about 8 or 10 ounces. And I drilled a 3/4" hole about 3/4" Into it... lol too heavy

    So I made a bolt handle...Tikka

    I turned a knob the other day and welded it on... Here are some pics. I made it ridiculous big... kinda as a joke. lol I think I am going to turn it down a bit, make the groves deeper and hollow it out a bit more. Also going to have my buddy bead blast it. Then I'll blacken it and the bolt...

    SIG 556 Classic Cheap

    It's hard to tell a difference on the paint by looking at a distance... you can tell a huge difference in the texture by hand. The barrel is a lot harder to tell, they look a lot shinier. I used gun scrubber to remove the oil on the barrel so it was easier to tell. I'm not absolutely...

    SIG 556 Classic Cheap

    Definitely not, I haven't seen any bad tolerances on those models. I've just seen a big quality fit on the fit on the SP2022 in the last few months. Right when we started to get the american made ones.

    SIG 556 Classic Cheap

    The past ones were Nitrided barrels and anodized lowers... which is a ton better. Mainly the nitride, it makes the surface of the barrel inside and out 70 rockwell, which equals really really good barrel life vs. bluing and chrome lining. Plus it is generally more accurate than chrome lining.

    SIG 556 Classic Cheap

    They need to get their QC under dang control. You should see the play in the SP2022 slides that I've seen... Like 1/8" either direction at the muzzle. It's rare to get a tight one now... stupid Ron Cohen... destroying another company.

    SIG 556 Classic Cheap

    If there is anyone looking for a SIG 556 classic or Patrol Swat... I saw that academy has either for $1199... the classic dropped $700 bucks... might want to get on that before quality really starts to plummet into the depths. May still be a few good ones left. Watch out for painted...

    Sig 556 Port sizes

    The best way to determine where to drill is dremel in the detent where you want it. Then clean as much carbon off the outside of the valve as you can. Then place the rifle on that middle setting or wherever the detent is and fire about 5 or 6 rounds. It will fire in single shot. The firing...

    Sig 556 Port sizes

    Nope... some people place a piece of velcro outside the ejection port. I kinda like the scar the brass leaves on the side really. Just hated how it dented brass.

    Sig 556 Port sizes

    Uuuuum... I could... but I would suggest doing it yourself... I wouldn't want to be liable for breaking a part that super hard to find... All you need to do it is a dremel, drill and a $9.99 set of little tiny drill bits. (amazon.com) As for the cases they were really tough to get in & out of...

    Sig 556 Port sizes

    So I've been working on adding settings and tuning my Sig patrol swat and wanted to let the other 556 owners know the results of the port size testing. I've ground in 6 total settings to the gas block. The original port into the piston was around .40 with a .42 or something out port. Which...
