    Have had a few shots with NK's one, like all of NK's toys, very nice.
    As Gimp says, with that folding stock etc, not likely to be A-Cat in original configuration.

    Niks , are the real deal Swiss made 550 , NOT the American Bas#@rd Sig 556 , and as they have the long 21 barrel are over minimum lenght while folded , the shorter barreled Sigs are not allowed the folding stock option .

    And yeap , they are noe of the best 556 rifles made period .

    Pick up a SIG 550 & any AR-15 , and one seems like a cheap toy ( aka a Sten gun ) , and the other like a real solid rifle , no prizes for guessing which is which .

    Later Chris

    Can't say I agree with the above. Having shot a 550 my impression was "expensive plastic AK". Nice rifle for sure, but can't do anything more than an AR, has lesser ergonomics IMO, and costs a shit ton more.

    Not on drugs bro. I wasn't really impressed with the Swiss mags. They felt disposable (maybe they are), like they would break if you dropped them loaded onto concrete. I just didn't see how it lived up to the hype for the money that was payed for it. Again, a nice rifle, but not nice enough at the price point.
