Sig Sauer 556R: Not Really for AK Guys

As many of you know we have been testing the Sig Sauer 556R for some time now and have produced multiple videos featuring this weapon system. We have mixed results from this thing and the most recent round of testing was no exception.
Some issues can be chalked up to training issues or user performance but I would definitively say that there are areas for improvement on the gun as far as a design to user interface is concerned. To give a brief synopsis of the video you are about to see, we swapped owners on the following two rifles. An Arsenal SLR owned by FXHummel was run by one of our crew and FX, a trained AK user, used the Sig 556R.
The major take away for me was Kalashnikov training does not intuitively translate to the Sig design. Oh, yeah and tapco mags suck...but we already knew.
Enjoy the show.
