Collectors Guns near Woburn has a huge picture of a Sig 556 with the words "MA LEGAL MODEL HERE NOW" in bold on their homepage

They also have the FS 2000 and PS 90. You can order a Steyr AUG clone too, such as a TPD AXR or MSAR

Here is mine. I bought it at Collector's Guns in Stoneham. Great rifle. Crappy optics.

I see I'm not the only one that thinks the thing looks terrible.

 

[William Wallace]

Is this Sig's answer to the ar15? or is this its own unique thing?

 

[Coastie2010]

It's their own thing. It's the civilian model of the rifle issued to the Swiss military. The one that every Swiss male between 18 and 30 is required to keep in his house (and can keep when he is discharged).

And the 550 series is a damned fine rifle at that.

Hmmm
thinking of getting one of these, shot my m4 today and choked on fumes all day. I would think these would run pretty clean due to the piston?

 

[drgrant]

I might contemplate one if they made an "ma neutered" version that had the 556 SWAT forend on it instead of that plastic thing they try calling a forend.

Honestly, the original, full length Sig 550 is my dream 5.56 EGR. The Swiss know what they're doing in terms of making small arms.

Yes, they run very clean... reliable and accurate as well.

If you don't like the stock HG's (I don't have a problem with them) you can switch them out for Swiss 551 HG's.

The best rail system for the 556 is the Samson...

Sig is indeed interested in MA. I had a chat with Eric VonBosse (their marketing manager) in Tulsa a few weeks ago, and confirmed this in directly - although our conversation focused on handguns, not rifles.

I don't suppose he said anything about the P250 in MA friendly form did he?

MA Compliant SIG 556

Glad to hear that SIG plans a run of compliant rifles. Just in case they don't end up making them, State Line Gun Shop in Mason, NH will convert a standard 556 to MA compliant configuration for $125. This includes welding on a muzzlebrake, cutting off the bayonet attachment point, and pinning the stock. In fact, we will make up almost any "assault rifle" to MA legal configuration for the cost of the gunsmith work.

I'd suggest checking First Defense in Uxbridge.
