SIG Sauer 516 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

I have owned the Sig 516 Patrol Gen2 for a few months now. It has been nothing but a wonderful rifle. I own a few AR's and the Sig is my second choice (next to my HK) for a dependable , great working AR15.

A tremendous rifle! shoots like a laser, very ergonomic. Over a thousand rounds through it so far with no misfires, f to f, or ejection issues. The mil spec trigger is a bit rough and heavy but that is an easy fix. So far, my favorite AR.

Caveat emptor - buyer beware! This Sig 516 is not what Sig is advertising now and has been advertising for the past 2 years. It does not have a nitrided barrel. It has a chrome-lined barrel with a phosphated outer finish. And the gas block has a bayonet l

This shotgun is built like a tank. Wasn't prepared for the weight. It won't be carried in the field, strictly a home defense weapon. Haven't been able to shoot it yet. Bud's service was great as usual. Can't wait to try it out.

I bought one of these about three years ago from Bud's. It's one of the finest things I own. If I could only have one AR 15 platform rifle it would be this one, it's completely reliable and has all the rails one needs to mount anything on.

Outstanding AR i've owned it for four years now and have put well over 1000 rounds through it has not had single hiccup until I put a slide fire stock on it. Then started having some low primer strike when firing simulated full auto. It may be an issue wi

This is an absolutely great rifle. I have put about 300 rounds through it so far, and it is very accurate (better than me) and an absolute joy to shoot. Both of my young grandsons have a blast shooting it as well, as there is virtually no recoil due to th

Went out and shot 55gr 223, which this gun was supposed to have a problem with according to some forums. It performed flawlessly. I didnt even clean it when I got it or anything. The trigger, which was also supposed to be sub par was awesome. Short, clean

Great Rifle! Paid $1,264 here at buds, but that was before El Presidente made his remarks. Very accurate! .5 MOA with 77gr Nosler Custom Copetition reloads 2.260 OAL, using a 4x ACOG on a rest @ 100yds, maybe even better with a higher power scope. Shippin

This is one of the nicest AR Style weapons I have seen. I would recommend this to anyone. Buds Gun Shop sells it for about $300 cheaper than what I have seen in the retail world. If you are looking for a reliable AR this is defiantly the best one I have s

This Sig 516 is a well design Piston Riffle. So far no problem at all. Fitted with Nikon Scope, sight it in and always on the mark. The 100 Yds has a group of quarter size using Federal XM193 55 gr FMJBT. Will try longer yardage. Cartridge makes differenc

This rifle is every bit as good if not better than LWRC, HK, POF, ETC.... And its easily $1000 less! It is extremely acurate and with the 1 in 7 twist you can shoot heavier grain bullet accurately! I absolutely LOVE this rifle and its quality! I WILL be o

Only taken it out once so far but it seems perfect. I like the flip up battle sites and the quad rail for future expansion. Also comes with nice strap. Shoots perfect, very accurate, minimal kick. Only downside now is hard to find or expensive ammo.

Awesome gun!! Very well crafted and flawless in its workmanship. Could be happier with this purchase and buds was great to deal with... 5 stars all day long...thanks again for a great gun.

First the Bad-There isn't any! This is the best AR-15 I have ever fired. Of course my experience is limited to Bushmaster and Colt. This is the first Gas Piston I've fired but it works very well but that's not all. The overall design is Great, better than

Got mine just days before the price increased & took a little more time to receive due to the Christmas rush. It was well worth the wait. After sighting in, managed to put 8 rounds inside 3/4 " from 100 yards. Never been able to do that before....maybe ju

First time purchase from Bud's. Very easy process & the rifle shipped quickly after purchase. Misfeed first 2 rounds. Made a minor adjustment to the clip and the following 200 rounds cycled thru flawlessly. I shot both .223 Remington and 5.56 steel case a

took it out to the range for the first time, fed, fired, ejected about 200 rounds no problems. Love this rifle can't wait to get my hands on more ammo til then I'll be plinking with my 522. Buds servicw great as always... glad i got mine before the prices

So far so Good! Excellent gun! You get what you pay for, and with this Sig Sauer rifle, your getting a lot. Very pleased with my purchase.

Mine came with the flip up iron sights, which are preferred over the Chinese red dot sight with no irons. This gun is amazing, the build quality of it compared to say, a Rock River LAR operator, is way better, in terms of the machining of the lower and up

By far the SIG516 is the best AR-15 type rifle I have ever owned. Smooth piston operation really keeps the internals cool and clean. I have put over a thousand rounds through this rifle and never had any problems other than running out of ammo. Mine came

This gun is absolutely the best 5.56 on the market. Gas piston operates flawlessly and have 1.5 inch groups at 300 meters. Highly recommend this weapon to anyone wanting a 5.56. Buds service was fair, never answered any emails I sent. But, to be fair they

The rifle was as described by Buds. It had the Quad rails, as well as flip up iron sites. This matched the Sig arms websites description. I am completely satisfied with it. Shoots great, couldn't ask for more. It was delivered in a timely manner. I really

So far so good.....Very quick shipping.Thanks again Buds!

Previous reviews have covered how accurate and beautifully machined this rifle is and it very much so- no question about it. This review will deal only with what you get for the version that costs $1301 as compared to the version that costs $1024 (basic P

I ordered my rifle with the hope that it would stand up to all that Sig is known to be...i own the 556 and now the 516, this rifle runs great, have run over 600 rounds of all the good and not so great ammo, the rifle has had no problems, if you want a wea

Great gun! Sig is definitely one of my favorite weapons manufactures out there. I've probably put a thousand rounds through my 516 now and not a single problem. The barrel is a little heavy, but after wearing 100lbs everyday for months at a time in Iraq a

The weapon came with Sig's red dot sight and the gas block out of alignment with the rail by about 1mm. I had hoped for the flip up sights and no red dot since I will add a Lucid HD7 later on and would enjoy plinking with Sig's iron sites. At any-rate, wh

I received my Sig 516 on 9/21/11 and the rifle came with flip up iron sights. No cheap red dot ... thank God. Took the 516 to the range yesterday and received many compliments on the fine quality, looks and workmanship of the rifle. It worked flawlessly.

Picked up my 516 from the FFL on Sunday. Have not taken it to the range yet. Just to let everyone who is complaining about the red dot scope know, mine came with flip up iron sights instead of the Sig red dot. They look and feel similar to the Troy flip u

All in all I like my Sig 516 but here are my gripes anyway. I would have liked it better if it had the following: a sturdier plastic case, flip up sights instead of the red dot sight it comes with, the mount also scratched up the rail a bit, it needs a po

I love the rifle. I put a Millett DMS-1 on the gun and shot 1 moa groups while sighting in the gun. I expect to shot better groups when I have a chance to experment with loads and bullet weights. I shot 60 rounds the first day out with no jams or problems

First I'll start off my saying that I was a skeptic about buying a gun online. To my suprise, things worked out GREAT. Took the full four days for my payment to go through, which was the only "bad" thing. I called in and they said things were looking good

I bought my Sig 516 Patrol three weeks ago and I am super satisfied with the product. I always buy Sigs anyway and I wasn't surprised that the gun has performed flawlessly through 400 rounds of fire. This is my first experience with an AR-15 style weapon

I bought this gun due to all the great reviews and personal testimony. This is my first AR and I hit a home run on my first buy. Bud's was quick in getting the gun out and the price was the best on the net. My gun came with the Sig Red Dot and the quick d

I have owned a lot of fine firearms in my time but this one is right out the top. Out of the box was a nice sling, Sig Red Dot, 1 30 round mag and even a gun cleaning accessory. The 2 stage trigger system is awesome. As usual Buds was on the ball in deliv

First impressions are great, just as I ordered. Fit and finish are excellent, just what I'd expect from Sig, especially at this kind of price. Features out of the box are really great, ambi safety and mag release. All parts are well made, no machining mar

Super AR! Shipped efficiently and on time. My optics lined up (Sig Romeo 5/Juliet 3). Have about 300 rounds through it, NO malfunctions. The rifle has many features- gas piston (stays clean in the receiver), 1:7 barrel, upgraded furniture, Sig reputati

If you want a HK 556/416 and you can’t afford one or it’s out of stock this gun the Sig Sauer 516 is the best if not better than the HK 556/416( and yes I own both Hk.) this gun is very durable and just feel like quality, along with sexiness. The gun can

These are as good as any A.R. 15 made. I bought a Larue tactical I personally think the Sig 516 Patrol is better. I LOVE LaRue You just can't be that piston driven A.R. 15 Bill to that quality of standard that the Sig. 516 patrol is. I've been a Gunsmit
