The forend halves on the 522 are sweet.
I wonder if they will fit my 556.

How much does one of these retail for, if I may ask?

May have to get one of these. Sig 522LR Specifications say MSRP of $515.00.

I agree! I know the 10/22's are "classic" guns, but IMO if I am buying a .22, I want it to at least look bad ass. Which this accomplishes!

I liked the looks of that thing so much I called my FFL and told him to get me one when they come out,It will look good next to my GSG 5.Besides the way ammo prices are going we will all be shooting 22 and not a lot at one time either @#$%^$%^& anti gun %$#@#$%^&*

That is real nice looking, may have to think about it.

Janq - I put 551 foregrips on my 556, and it looks similar to the picture above, not to mention it saves about 8 oz. over the factory supplied one.

Tickle,

Where did you score 551 foregrips?

I've got two sets (upper and lower halves) of standard 556 but would like to secure a set of lighter weight units.
