[gunnut1]

So where are you guys getting the 551 handguards?

[Stranger]

Switzerland!

But seriously, here are vmtz's directions on where/how to buy a set (from a company in Swizerland).

And directions for getting to them.

quote:You can E-Mail them in English if you can't translate German. It takes a little longer but they will get back with you.

If you are going Manually, Klick the picture of the pistol on the left and under the heading Langwaffen (long guns), klick the bottom entry: Zubehor (accessories).
Next under Zubehor fur SIG Sturngewehre (accessories for SIG Assault Rifles), Klick Reihnigung (cleaning).
The top item is "Reiningung fur STGW 90/SWAT/Commando - "Putzset Komplett" (cleaning Kit complete).

The handguard are also under "Zubehor fur SIG Sturmgewehre", under the heading "Zwieveinstutzen (bipods), Wangenauflagen, Schaftteile (stock parts), Gewehrreimen (slings).
The handguards you want are "Handschutz zu Sig 551 SWAT Komplett oben & unten"

Fourth down from top.

I read on the 556 forum that they come to about $160 shipped buying from /\/\/\ those guys.

A few places in the US have had them off and on for less than $100, but I haven't seen any available for a while.

I also heard someone was able to buy them from sigarms.

Let us know if you find anything else, I'm still looking for a set myself.

Try Gunfactory wanting $194 shipped (damn weak a$$ dollar)


Aurora has some for $94, but their website is down. Just in case they get it back up:

Unless I am missing something, I find the price at the Gunfactory to be about $54.00.

You will notice that the prices are quoted in Swiss Franks (CHF), not the Euro. So, that's about $138 US for the black HGs and $58 for the green ones.

I wouldn't hold my breath for Aurora.

True but the currency converter indicated that it only a little highter in American than in Swiss francs. Are they not allowed do deal in Swiss francs anymore?

I bought a pair of green handguards from Gun Factory and was amazed at how fast they showed up. Not to mention that Gun Factory was great to work with.

Really improves the look of the 556:

www.topgunsupply.com has the black ones in stock, or at least they did this morning when I bought some.

$93 shipped, which I can't believe I paid for a set if hand guards, but I just have to get the crappy factory ones off asap.

If you are in need of another supplier in Europe: I have dealt with these folks in the past and they have always been prompt.

They have shite loads of accesoiries for your SIG rifle.

I got my order in as well, just in the nick of time it seems. They were sold out again by the early afternoon.

[Outlaw Patriot]

I got mine last night. Looks great and I can tell they're lighter. However my left hand is in a cast so I can't tell how they really feel, its driving me crazy being able to hold it up but just not quit grab the fore end.

I know, dear diary and all, but I'm bored.

I probably post a pic soon.

I've received fast/quality service from Rolf at gunfactory.ch, and more recently picked up a set of (black) 551 handguards and bayonet lug from Colorado Gun Sales (mike@cogunsales.com)
