    If only you could get SIG 556s here. The new xi can have an ak lower or an AR lower, accepting 5.56/300/or 7.62x39 with right barrel bolts and mags. Probably need to bring your own in.

    Yup they have been but will be sorted soon.
    Sig USA shafted them with a dodgy deal to Columbia.

    Looking at buying a bare upper receiver to build a precision/long range upper. From what I can read there is no advantage of using a heavier/more rigid upper? they seems twice the price so if I can save $100US plus, yippee.

    So maybe just a Bravo company or spikes upper?

    There are heaps of guys down there who can fit an AR barrel. No need to head space it. Ask on sport shooter forum.

    Probably two parts on the extreme end of a tolerance range.

    Just subscribe to it, or make a whole AR/rattle gun section with multiple threads.

    $1399 for a brand spanking DPMS AR15

    Bloody hell that's cheap. Finding it hard to justify what it's going to cost me to get a SL8.
