A Second Look At the Sig Sauer 556R

Taking a look at the Sig Sauer 556R, again. Last summer we got one of these in and quickly identified a few issues.

Over this past winter we went over it again after some hard use. This time we had a guest in the house... Tactical Tunes AKA FXHummel1. For those of you who aren't in the know, he is an AK guy. I would consider all my crew to be of the AR crowd so this was a welcome perspective. He adds a few points from the perspective of an AK owner but came to the same relative opinion. It's a nice gun, but it is not without issue. Tune in and tell us what you think.

Check out some of the issues we had here

Killing a Sig Sauer 226

We recently had a collaborative shoot with FXHummel1. During which a Sig 226 was function tested with mud. During the test a catastrophic failure occurred, rendering the weapon inoperable. No one believed me when I said there is just something about the VSO compound that eats new gear. For the full video of the test see below:

FX has since put out a video of his trip to the gunsmith to fully deduce and remedy the situation that account was also captured on video:

FX is planning a Part III to the series and will be showing all of the changes this event catalyzed in that weapon system.  He said it's coming back in "A Big Way". Be sure to subscribe to him so you don't miss it.
