SIG556xi Rifle and Henry .22Mag Lever Action on 7/29/14…

Good afternoon all.  We’ve got two great rifles to talk about this afternoon as new editions into the shop.  First is the new SIG556xi and there is a lot to talk about with this rifle.

Based on the legendary SG 550, the SIG556xi will change the way military, law enforcement, and responsible citizens look at adaptable rifles. Utilizing the time-tested rotating bolt and adjustable gas piston operating system, the SIG556xi allows operators a choice of caliber, barrel length, handguard/stock configurations and lower receivers.

A removable barrel allows the operator to select the necessary length for a given mission. Adding the appropriate bolt, the SIG556xi can be changed to any of three calibers, 5.56x45mm NATO, 300 Blackout, and 7.62x39mm NATO. Users can also quickly change out the non-serialized lower receiver, allowing the use of either AR-style STANAG magazines or rock-and-lock AK-style magazines. The SIG556xi upper receiver is the serialized part, making the lower an easy to purchase part.

This weapon has the  aluminum hand guard which accept 2”, 4”, and 6” M1913 rails. Barrels are available in 10”, 14.5”, and 16”. Truly ambidextrous, the SIG556xi features an ambi safety selector, magazine release and user swappable charging handle (right- or left-handed). Optional receiver end plates allow for the use of either AR receiver extension tubes and buttstocks or M1913 compatible stocks.  This weapon came from Sig Sauer chambered in 5.56.  They are also available from the factory in 7.62×39 and 300 Blackout.

 

The next entry couldn’t be more different from the first rifle.  We received a Henry Model H001M Lever Action Rifle chambered in .22 Magnum.  For those of you who love Henry Lever Action Rifles like I do, the .22mag is kind of hard to come by.  She is blued with wood stock and has an 11+1 capacity.  She is the second from the bottom in the photo below.
