Sig Sauer SG 561 Sport

The Sig Sauer SG561 Sport is a variant of the new SG56X platform with a 14.5" barrel and 1:7" twist. A combination of the AR15 and the proven SG550 platform, the new SG56X models offer the robust precision of the Swiss military rifle with the modularity of the globally dominant AR15 platform.

The upper receiver has been revised, especially in the area of the handguard, and features as standard a free-floating barrel. The aluminum handguard has surrounding M-LOK interfaces and, together with the receiver, includes a continuous Picatinny rail at 12 o'clock. The Long Stroke Piston gas system remains adjustable in several positions and, like the bolt with the accompanying charging handle, corresponds to the classic SIG, making it an evolution of the AK47 system. A QD sling mount for the M-LOK interfaces rounds out the package.

The lower receiver has been more closely adapted to the AR15 and can now accommodate AR15 triggers - the excellent, adjustable MAK DRS Trigger is installed as standard - as well as AR15 safeties - a Radian Talon with 45° is installed, but it can also be converted to 90°. The grip is also AR15 standard, with the SigSauer reduced angle AR pistol grip included as standard.

The magazine well is interchangeable - as standard, the receiver accepts SG55X magazines, BUT the included magazine adapter allows the use of AR15 STANAG magazines. It is installed as standard upon delivery, and the weapon is supplied with the original Swiss SG55X magazine. Both magazine options use the same magazine release lever, and the handling corresponds to the AR15. The bolt catch is now ambidextrous.

The stock attachment is a Picatinny interface, like on the SIG Sauer MCX Virtus, and features a folding stock adapter with AR15 MilSpec carbine buffer tube - many words to say that the absolute standard for the AR15 is installed. A Magpul CTR stock is available to the shooter as standard, but nearly any other AR15 stock can be mounted. The CTR stock features a QD socket, making the weapon ready for the usual sling swivels and rifle slings along with the adapter for the handguard.

The SIG Sauer SG56X is a high-quality, precise, and unholy combination of the AK47 and AR15, reliably establishing the proven Swiss weapon platform in the market heavily influenced by the AR15.

Please note:
Despite the adaptation to the AR15, the weapon still uses its own receivers, so mounting AR15 interchangeable systems is not possible.
