German Made Sig 516 Patrol Rifle
Sig had many weapons on display at IWA, including several 516s. One was actually Made in Germany and featured a number of differences from the US-market 516s, which I go over in the video. I’m not sure exactly where in Germany it was made, because I saw no signs of AR production at Eckernförde, where Sig pistols are produced. I’m thinking that it was produced and assembled along with the Blaser rifles at that factory, which is in a different part of the country.
I looked at the weapon with a fairly critical eye, but I don’t think I was too hard on it. What do you guys think?
Sig 516 Patrol
This was a good video basically, but would have been a whole better without all the background roar.
@Lance : the HK416 is just over 2500€ (3600 US$) in Europe, so anything below that will sell.
Sorry for the off-topic. Lots of high-res photos of AEK-971.

If its over $1200 just buy H&K.
How much is the MSRP is?????
Hopefully this version will receive better reviews than the U.S. 516.
Thank you for actually knowing something about guns, and not simply regurgitating the manufacturer’s puffery. Good video.
Can’t watch the video at work, but I just bought a sig 516 from Gunbroker over the weekend and can’t wait to get it.
