    Sig 716

    Re: Sig 716 Quick update here. I brought the 716 to the range for another function check this weekend. Total round count is now up to 220. I brought a mixture of ammo: American Eagle 168gr OTM (7.62x51), Fiocchi 150gr FMJ (.308) and Remington UMC 150gr. (.308). I fired 3, 5 and 10 round...

    Sig 716

    Re: Sig 716 Well, after talking with Sig customer service and getting an RMA number, I decided to switch lubricants and give one more try before sending it back. I didn't want Sig to be able to say that I didn't follow their recommendations before returning the 716 to them for a look. I...

    Sig 716

    Re: Sig 716 Yeah, my buffer tube could have run an engine with all the gunk coming out of it when I cleaned it the first time. Sig always seems to ship their weapons smothered. I have a small, leftover bottle of CLP at home somewhere. I received the RMA number from Sig, but I'll give the...

    Sig 716

    Re: Sig 716 Well, I called Sig back this morning and "Andy" answered again. He started giving me the same "use the recommended lubricant" story and I stopped him. I said that if a new firearm doesn't work with one of the most common lubricants on the market, then it's not worth having...

    Sig 716

    Re: Sig 716 I called Sig Customer Service today and explained the problem with the rifle not cycling properly. "Andy" asked me what kinds of ammo I had fired and what I used to clean and lubricate the weapon. After relaying my answers, he said that the Rem Oil I used to lubricate the 716 with...

    Sig 716

    Re: Sig 716 Well, I went back to the range this past weekend with some Federal Gold Medal Match 175gr and different PMAGs than before. I had the exact same problems. The rifle is not cycling properly at all. It will eject the case, but not take a new one out of the magazine reliably. It...

    Sig 716

    Re: Sig 716 I took the new 716 to the range for the first time just to zero and get more familiar with it. All I had on hand was 150g Remington UMC MC in .308. I also brought 2 brand new PMAGs. The rifle would not properly cycle with either magazine. I was only loading three at a time to...

    Sig 716

    Re: Sig 716 Ok, so I used a very scientific method of removing the BCM charging handle. By jiggling the BCG enough to slide it back a bit, I could get the charging handle to release and come free. The original is back in! Do NOT use the BCM Gunfighter charging handle with the Sig 716.

    Sig 716

    Re: Sig 716 Hi, new member here. I have a problem with a Sig 716 I bought two weeks ago. At the same time as the Sig, I also bought a BCM Gunfighter charging handle because I have one in all my ARs. I got home, shotgunned the Sig, took out the Sig handle, dropped the BCM in and locked the...
