No worries, not a hijack. I'd like to know where to get an Eotech clone too.

i got the clone from RRAGES

ive gotten a couple things from him for the GSG-5 and now the SIG. very fast shipping, and somewhat reasonable prices. he also has stuff for the M&P and 10/22's

If you have reallllllllllllllllly deep pockets, you can pursue one of the "Special Edition" matching SIG522/SIG556 SWAT pairs being discussed over here:

Well, at this point I've decided on the Sig 522. If I see one at the Valley Forge show this weekend it may come home with me. I did see the Special Edition sets pop up on gunbroker. The pricing is fair but I'd have to factor in the divorce attorney etc

I do think that I'd like to move quickly from plinker to "real" black rifle though...

not the best picture because my camera is absolute crap indoors, but i finally got the EOTech Clone, and 4x Magnifier mounted and zeroed.

the 4x adds quite a bit of weight to the gun tho. so im not sure how i feel about it yet. before i had only the EOTech clone on, and i was hitting a string at 25 yards.

im still wondering if an airsoft 556 front rail system would fit this gun. but until then i'll probably just order the SIG handguard rails so i can get a vertical grippod.

Looking good!
I'm curious, is the pistol grip replaceable on the 522?

**rovert97** · December 17th, 2009, 02:03 PM

it is, just like on the 556 rifles. but there isnt much of an aftermarket for them. you can modify ie: dremel an AR grip to fit tho.

ETA: got bored and played in photoshop to see what the "fish gill" handguard would look like on the gun, with a vertical grip and laser.

Got a M&P 15-22 at Cabelas last night for 459.99. I had a $100 off $500 coupon so I added a few more items I "needed". For $359.99 I couldn't complain!
