Question about the SIG 556

[hk-sigman]

Does anyone know why the lower receiver of the 556 SCM is different from the other SIG 556 rifles?

Because some people will buy one of everything SIG makes regardless of whether it is significantly different from what they already own.

You could say that about any other brand out there. Nike, Glock, Dewalt, Sony

My best guess is that they are only just a redesign. The classic having the new one. From sigs website "The redesigned trigger housing improves access to functional controls while improving the overall ergonomics of the rifle. "

Because of the stock.

The SCM will accept an A2/M4

The 'classic' is designed for a proprietary side folder.
