I can't believe Sig is that cheap that they didn't installed a heat shield on the plastic hand guard. After seeing the Youtube video.

Had a price of $5000.00US on it; while standing there, someone came up and wrote a check for it along with a case of ammo for each. Seems a little extreme, even for the matching serial numbers.

On the other hand it's bad to be on the receiving end of a broken, warped, or melted plastic receiver. Might as well kill yourself when that happen. The last thing you want to hear from your enemies is "WTF". Anyway I never understood why they put an AR stock on the Sig 556.
