I had an interesting morning today. I went down to pick up a few new arrivals and saw a blue gun case, instantly tagging it as a Sig. So I thought to myself, "Why are we getting our third 556 in the past three weeks?" I opened the box and realized...this isn't a 556, this is an AR! I ran up to the offices grabbed the Rifleman crew who assured me I wasn't going insane. The Sig 516 is the new AR. Here's a picture for you, but don't tell anyone because it doesn't exist.

Since we're talking about a new gun, here's what you need to know:

1.It's piston operated and has an adjustable gas regulator similar to the Ruger 556.
2.It has an ambidextrous safety.
3.Comes with Yankee Hill folding rear and front sights.
4.It's an AR.

Update: I just got word that this gun will be the cover story for the January edition of American Rifleman magazine.
