    516 uppers $499 at SIG. It is my understanding that they are contract overruns from the UK.

    I have been a fan of the 516 for some time. Very impressed with the 516 (it is 100 better than the HK416 don't you know), disappointed that SIG killed it, but understand they are all in with the "Spear" which is MCX/Virtus based. Besides the Caracal 816 (400 better than the HK416) is still out there for the taking.

    WARNING: As per INGOer ShooterSix, be advised:

    fyi its 14.5 inches and the barrel is threaded, so if you want to put this on something, either have it pinned and welded or slap it on a pistol lower

    OR pay the 200 bucks and make it a sbr

    I was weak and got one... still not sure which way I want to go with the NFA issue.
    I am thinking still... not sure if I like the pinned and welded idea, but I might use it for my first suppressor, so why not make it a double stamp thing...

    I picked one up but have not had a chance to shoot it yet. Right now, it’s sitting on the top of a pistol lower but I’m going to go the pin/weld route eventually.

    How does one know how many are left in-stock?
    Might be out of my bracket so I have to save up some ducats...
    Start off by adding a large amount to your cart, it will tell you the requested amount is unavailable, then keep dialing the amount down from there. Or start off with a low amount and increase until you get the unavailable notification.

    I got excited because I got an email from Sig saying they had 20% stuff in their online store. I thought for a minute that I'd be buying a second one. But the 20% off doesn't apply to the upper. Shucks.
