--SIGARMS was showing off their SG556 semi-auto rifle series, including the SG556SWAT and "shorty"/subcarbine/SBR models. The latter two versions sported Brugger & Thomet-type Mil-Std-1913 rails. DefenseReview would prefer that SIGARMS make the front flip-up sight/BUIS (Back-Up Iron Sight) rail-mounted/removable, so the user can replace it with a Troy Industries front BUIS. It would also be interesting to see if the Vltor VIS series "monolithic upper receiver/rail" could somehow be incorporated into the SG556 series. Also, DefRev isn't crazy about a righthand-situated cocking/charging handle. We would much prefer a lefthand-situated charging/cocking handle. In other words, the gun should be designed around righties, rather than lefties. Let the lefties deal with canting the weapon for cocking/charging procedure. However, since the charging handle on the SG556 rifle series is integral with the bolt carrier, we're not sure if a lefthand-situated handle is even possible. DefRev took its own photos of the SG556 series weapons. We'll publish them as soon as possible.
