Good video, I put a Lancer carbon fiber handguard on my Sig 516 drilled out the pin removed the flash hider and pinned and welded a ASR muzzle brake on it so I could use my Omega 36M can on it. I have to say I really enjoy shooting my Sig 516 now.
The original ambi lower was pretty cool. But having the upper is where the secret sauce is at. For once, I am glad I got drunk and got nostalgic. Thanks for watching!
I agree, I have 2 516 a 10 inch and a 16. The best thing I ever did for a gun was MWI hand guard. It really makes the gun much better and lighter. I would love it if they would make one for the 716 the 716 is a tank it's heavy great gun shoots well just the weight of it is the only down side.
Ive had two, the 2nd i currently have i cannot for the life of me figure why i constantly get failure to feeds on regular gas setting. Also bcg does not lock back on last round wether on reg gas setting or adverse. Anyone have a preferred ammo type?
Spare parts are a legit concern. Sig won't support any of their classic lineup and even Sigsauerparts.com doesn't have bits for these uppers. That said, I think it will take a really long time to wear out part of the piston.
The MLOK does heat up a little quicker being thinner, but it is also much more ventilated so it cools quicker. The gas block on this particular gun tends to be the hottest part. I always use vertical grips when possible because I don't like burning myself on handguards and gas blocks.
I love my 516, over 3,000 rounds and never malfunctioned once.
Nice.. I have that gun broker versus consignment versus just keep dilemma going on myself constantly. Looks good to me
I’m likely to break down eventually as I do have a few things that I want to offload, this rifle is no longer one them. Thanks for watching!

I've always like the 516. I had one for a couple of years. I had to let it go. Thats one of my regerts!
Great post!

Had mine for like 8 years. Mine just doesn't like pmags though. Regular mil spec mags work just fine.
I hated the quad rail..the Midwest with Manta covers makes a different gun

There is a upper at the gunshop i work for and I am tempted to grab it, worried about spare parts for the piston.

Hello. What about heat issues with the midway mlok vs the old quad rail?
The MLOK does heat up a little quicker being thinner, but it is also much more ventilated so it cools quicker. The gas block on this particular gun tends to be the hottest part. I always use vertical grips when possible because I don't like burning myself on handguards and gas blocks.
I had no idea they made that either. Then again… Why would I?
I mean, I told you about it a few months ago. But you don’t done pay attention none to what I say.
I don't listen to my brother either...
@@spacedredd my brother ignores the shit outta me too. He probably didn’t even read my comment.
Since there’s no comments, I thought I would make one.
I appreciate you feeding the Al Gore Rhythms
What ? I called them they said they didn’t make one they didn’t have enough requests
Well that's goofy. I ordered it directly off of the Midwest website.
My girlfriend just called me a douche bag a few minutes ago :/
…just sayin‘
