EXETER, NH –-(Ammoland.com)- SIG SAUER has launched a new line of Carbine Fiber Rifles in the SIG516 and SIGM400 platforms.
The result is a new carbine package that is as visually striking as the level of high performance utility it delivers.
The SIG SAUER Carbon Fiber rifles sport 12″ free-float carbon fiber handguards and A1 length carbon fiber stocks. Lightweight, but infinitely durable, the CFC shaves weight without sacrificing strength.
Flat-top Picatinny upper receivers and the unique SIG516 lower receivers are machined from 7075-T6 aircraft grade aluminum. A match-grade, two-stage trigger helps operators get the most from these carbines.
Both the SIG516 and SIGM400 Carbon Fiber rifles come with a Lancer Systems polymer magazine and SIG SAUER flip-up, adjustable and lockable iron sights.
The Carbon Fiber rifles are perfect for those seeking a distinctively styled carbine, or requiring a performance advantage in the field or on the competition range.
