sig USA makes weak shit, their rifles kinda suck balls and have nothing to do with the awesome rifles out of swiss arms. Also, they have a nasty habit of cancelling their rifles at the drop of a hat.
>>
>>64443453
low QC
also poor designs beta tested on clients and also changing the designs without telling the customer what exactlt was changed, look at the mpx line they have changed it many times but there are no clear guidelines what parts fit what guns
you may buy a new part for old gun or vice verse and shit just wont fit
>>
For like 20 years, they've been run by the guy who ran Kimber into the ground. Though its worth noting San Swiss arms is practically a zombie company, just kept alive by its Swiss army and euro police contracts. They remind me of Steyr in the sense that there is zero innovation on old designs, the only new parts they produce are those designed by SIG USA, like MCX stocks retrofitted to 552s or the 553R. Everything else is the same shit from the 90s, which I get is desirable to some civilians but is simply not competitive in the modern market. Thats not to say they're bad or have the same sketchy behaviour or QC issues as Sig USA, but they've got their own problems and if the Swiss army goes through with buying LMT ARs like they've said they will, I don't think San Swiss will exist in a decade.

Because they're a bunch of hicks trying to larp as higher IQ European engineers. The current US gun industry is just some guys that like guns and thought they could do it as a business, the European gun industry is guys that don't really like guns as a hobby but are trying to engineer something as advanced as possible mostly for the sake of pride. Here their subsidiaries just make clones, maybe with a few tweaks here and there. In Europe they make new and advanced weapons platforms altogether.

The US also has a culture of cheapness. They stick a factory in bumfuck shitholeville where they can operate tax free and hire low wage workers who couldn't assemble a box correctly. They use cheap materials and skimp on quality features. FN USA is the same shit, they're not Belgian engineers they're a bunch of trash people in the south who's genetic ancestors got kicked out of Europe and enslaved in the colonies to do agricultural work because they were dull and low class. They don't care about making high precision machines, they just like shooting skeet and want to make a quick buck churning out cheap shit that pertains to their hobby.

Do they? Neither the SCAR nor 416 would exist without Americans demanding their existence. H&K would never have made a piston AR without the Socom contract, and however you feel about the SCAR being overpriced or having a reciprocating charging handle, its FN USAs homework that every other modern non-AR is copying (including H&Ks new rifle). Idk what advanced platforms you're referring to, it seems to me like the US is the main driver of innovation in small arms.

I just looked and there actually is one on gun for like 1500, which seems cheap.
>>
>>64443790
the US *military* drives innovation. most civilians just buy what's cheapest, which is why we have so many shit gun manufacturers.
>>
>>64443813
You are probably looking at a SIG 556 which is the US made one that has a different lower and takes AR mags, its basically a new rifle. The SIG PE90 is the actual imported SG 550
>>
>>64443849
Ah yeah youre right. Looks like Atlantic has the real deal for the low low price of t grand
>>
>>64443539
SAN IMPORTS 553S OR SOMETHING AS PISTOLS
>>
>>64443528
There is really not a whole lot to modernize on the SG series. You could probably make it a little lighter or add a monolithic top rail or something but overall any improvements would be relatively minor. The difference between a firearm of the SG550 era and now is overall extremely small, just handguards and barrel length more or less.

No it isn't?
SIG germany has been dead for 15 years, swiss SIG does next to nothing and SIG US produces mainly shit.
The owners are just investors interested in skimming of profit.

Irrelevant. It’s American so you have to hate it more, just like Beretta USA and CZ USA. Anything that is built in Europe is a magical wonderwaffen with no downsides or compromises made.

>>64444340
Yeah. It’s like buying a Marlin model 60 when the Ruger 10/22 exists.

At your service.

In addition to the 550, 553, and P220 pictured, I also have a P210 and 510 but apparently milsurp doesn't count. I guess for that matter, just ignore the P220 since it is surplus.

I can tell you from experience, the Swiss P210 and 55x series are lightyears better than the American shit versions. The P220 I have doesn't feel materially different than older P226s I have handled, its literally the same only shittier since single stack.

The Sig 550 was once the best assault rifle ever made, but A, its not worth $10k+ US collectors market prices, and B, the AR15 aftermarket has eclipsed the Sig 55x so much, its really not worth paying 5x considering the MSRP in switzerland is about 4000 USD (same as their import price).

I think the biggest thing the 550 series still has going for it compared to an AR is the integrated bipod on the 550, which folds away really nicely and flush with the bottom of the handguard to not be cumbersome while holding the handguard with it folded, and the fact that they have folding stocks, which makes a bigger difference on a 553 since you can effectively halve the length of the gun when you fold it.

Why haven't more anons done this?
Sure sounds like free money to me.
>>
>>64446981
Sue them for what?
>>
>>64443479
It's this, and after 2008 whatever this nuSIG sells as that brand here in United States is total garbage.

>>64444854
Mostly what this anon said. nuSIG (the corporate takeover) has little to do with what happened to the Stgw 90, it was kaboshed by Bush's import ban in 1989 otherwise there'd be a lot more of them stateside had they been procured and sold throught the 1990s — additionally was the 1994 AWB but that's a separate issue and topic *inside of the U.S.*, nothing to do with imports. Point is: if in an alternate timeline there had not been the '89 ban and also if the 90s AWB had not occurred the actual Swiss 550 would be more prevalent as a semiauto mil pattern rifle. It is as PE 90 somewhat in Canada, but now thanks (again) to their own government they are screwed
nice pic anon
>>
>>64446981
>Why haven't more anons done this?

some have tried but none have cashed a check
>>
>>64448444
PE 90 is still imported to the US, just in very scarce numbers
>>
I'm thinking of getting a job there
Pays well for the area, plus heavily discounted guns (lmao) and ammo, plus free training courses at their firearms academy
The workplace reviews aren't great, lots of claims of nepotism and toxicity, but what else is new
Lots of machinists are boomer/xer whiny entitled emotional alcoholic crybabies though

?
clarify
when and by who
Are you talking about some special arrangement made by several individual owners/purchasers i.e. 1 or 2 persons inside of U.S., per year
also did you mean people getting them from -via Canada specifically
They're not coming from Switzerland
>>
>>64443822
This with a caveat for true sport/competition shooters. They introduced several innovations like red dot pistol sights in the '90s.
>>
>>64444294
Nope. It was a Swiss/German collaboration. It was designed for the US XM9 competition though
>>
>>64449894
