Gigueand Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Does anyone have any idea how the SIG 552 RIS on EhobbyAsia attaches to the gun? Is it two pieces that split apart or does the entire front end need to be disassembled in order to fit it? If so, what is the procedure for attaching it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost Sandman Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I know I am probably going to get flamed for this but, Whats the best 226 out on the market, and I have a bunch of kit to pick up so Not too expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

davester00 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Finally done with my 556. I just have to remove one part.(can anyone guess what it is?) Here she is. KA 556/metal rail ACM: UBR MBUS and some optics. MOSFET and some gauder element internals I hope to never buy another airsoft rifle again. Unless it's a magpul FDE masada.

fiddlesticks4220 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 1 of two front sights? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madkows Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Sooo sexy. Are those PTS Pmags? They're lookin' a bit shiney... And I'd have to say the wiring in the RAS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davester00 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) MOSFET in the RAS is already covered up with black shrink wrap. I guess I got to do a better job and color all the red connectors and wires black. Good call which is an easy fix. Yes 1 or 2 front sights. Removal of the stock front sight is a pain I need to go down to the local shop to get the smallest allen key ever made to take it off. Those are green label mags that's why they are shiny. I have a couple PTS mags but i was too lazy to dig. I'm getting old and losing my touch. Edited June 28, 2009 by davester00 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davester00 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 All right she's all cleaned up. SIG 556 1. without optics (my favorite) 2. with optics 3. w/ fore grip and flashlight for when the "freaks come out at night". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Crunchy Bunny Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 UBR on a SIG 556! I just creamed....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davester00 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Fiddle Tan or FDE please. Also maybe a better solution to the front sight and maybe a shorter barrel. I don't know if any of this is possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Punkypink Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Finally! I picked up some real steel Hogue grips for the P228/229 for cheap. My dremel finally arrived today and I've fitted them onto my P229. The only slight complaint I have is that the grips were meant for the non-railed 228/229 lower frame, while mine is the railed lower frame P229 so there is a tiny bit at the back where the grip doesn't match the shape of the frame. However I'm pleased with this simple mod, it really makes the gun look great and better to hold. Here I've laid out the real steel Hogue grips on the left and the stock KJW plastic grips on the right. One of the Hogue grips, you notice, has already been partially worked on. A test fitting of the left side grip which I've more or less finished working on. Dremelling the right side grip now. Test fit after major work on both sides has been done. There was a significant gap so I removed them and pinpointed areas which were not fitting well, then dremelled them out slightly to improve the fit. The final finished product. Hope you like it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KUNFUCHOPSTICKS Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Hello, how fat is the sig p229's grip. From pictures it looks really wide. Can you compare it to a 1911? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwoodcock01 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Hello, how fat is the sig p229's grip. From pictures it looks really wide. Can you compare it to a 1911? The 229 grip is wider and more curved in the than hand than the 1911, which I found just a bit to wide for comfort compared to my KJW P226R which by the grip feels a little smaller and sits nicer in the hand. I love my P226 and 1911 but the P229 just did not feel right, my wife on the other hand loves the P229 in the summer heat but reverts to my old Hi Capa 4.3 in the winter. Punky well done on the grips you did a grand job Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Punkypink Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Thanks Rich Kungfuchopsticks: As was mentioned, the P229's grips are wider, although I find that the gun sits more comfortably in my hand than my USP .45. I find there is little difference between the P226's grips and the P229's grips, so maybe the reason it doesnt feel right in Rich's hands is because the P229's grips are straight at the bottom, while the P226's has a outward curve.

spaniard Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 A question for davester00. Was the UBR a direct replacement, or you had to modify the 556? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
