oldman1980 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Thomas from Airsoft.ch sent in picture of a really nice surprise, coming from China- replica of SIG556 Reported from Airsoft-News.eu, too bad there is nothing else on this as of yet. If I missed something when doing my search I appologize, but this is the first I've heard of this other then the expensive GWS kit. Looks promising though IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

Missing Ethics Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 DO WANT! Not really surprised to see something like this from china atm, what with the masada coming soon. Looks like theyve got it pretty close too (no real expert, just my opinion) On that note anyone knwo if the real steel has a burst function? And if it does, hopefully thisll have a mechanical burst - I can hope right? Link to post Share on other sites
kodiak22 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 the realsteel right now is only civi(IE semi) ATM, but for the army Competition there is a military version, but i doubt it it has burst function sense it will be for army, nice timing sense KA will be releasing 556 mags soon. this gun looks nice, but ill wait and see if KA releases a 556 Link to post Share on other sites
unas Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I ask myself if this is a real copy of a 556 or just what the chinese think what it looks like (Like the JLS SCAR...which was so ugly and not very close to the real...) Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Looks pretty close to the real deal to me. Anyway, I hope they make an FDE version like the one at GWS. Link to post Share on other sites

Gigueand Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Been waiting for this one for a while. Looks like this and the Masada will be the hot new replicas of the new year. Unless, of course, someone releases an M4A1 replica. That would be the best thing ever. Slainte! (?) Link to post Share on other sites
EmptyChambers Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 The production image looks pretty similar to how DBoys did their M4s. Could be that they are the manufacturer perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
Sniperman15 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 If someone wants to send me a review sample, id be happy to compare it to my real 556 Looking at it in that small pic, it looks pretty good, however, I hope they arnt making the rails out of metal, need to be molded in the hand guard. I'm thinking that's more nylon looking though Link to post Share on other sites
darthrebelpenguin Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 The production image looks pretty similar to how DBoys did their M4s. Could be that they are the manufacturer perhaps? That was my first thought as well. The fact that it's full metal and *looks* to be nylon fiber also makes me think that. Link to post Share on other sites

Before people start patting the chinese on the back for doing something original, isn't this just a copy of the GWS 556 kit? Granted, not a fan of the GWS split receiver, so if it's not a copy it'd be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites

BigAl Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Nice, shame it doesn't appear to have the folding stock though. Link to post Share on other sites
Sniperman15 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Nice, shame it doesn't appear to have the folding stock though. The Sig folder that came with the 556 was junk anyway, I sold it to get a Magpul UBR, lots of reports of the c-clip just falling apart, rendering the stock useless. Link to post Share on other sites

alex21 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 The pics of the KA mags on airsoft-news are shown inserted in an unfinished looking 556, so they are most likely developing one now. It's the one Cybergun presented on french toy fair and on their 2008-2009 catalogue. The show a prototype on picture as well. Word is that it will comme from JG Link to post Share on other sites

alexishere2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 what is the metal made up of? pot metal I'm guessing? someone should really make the sig 556 classic or the swat version where the stocks actually fold Link to post Share on other sites
badsailor Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I don't recall a SIG 556 having a folding stock. All 556 versions I have seen come with a collapsible M4 style stock. Link to post Share on other sites
