SIG 716 barrel commonality???

[GreenGO Juan]

Curious about barrels. Is there parts commonality with the Sig -716 series to readily available Ar308/DPMS type barrels. Been searching around and read certain models will and others won’t.

Anyone know the yes, no, if, and, or why.

Shot a buddies about 2 weeks ago, started research on them. Not finding much information. If anyone knows, they are sitting on it.

Found stuff like this( link below), but it’s pertaining to the piston driven model. Which claims an Ar308 bolt will head space and the barrel nut has Ar-10 threads, 1 7/16-18 tpi.

Another talking about swaping stuff up.

12.5 inch Sig Barrels for $49.99!

CDNN just put their 12.5 inch 308 Sig barrels on sale for $49.99 + $4.99 flat rate shipping. You will need a custom gas tube but other than that I built with standard parts, a D Wilson bolt headspaced fine. https://www.cdnnsports.com/sig-sauer-716-12-5in-308-1-10-chrome-lined-barrel.html#.W-oXj5N...

I'm not really sure why there are so many threads on the aftermarket for this gun, which is noted to be pretty proprietary and is made by an mfg known for not supporting some products.

If you're looking so far down the line, it might be more worthwhile for you to buy into a platform that will have more support.

In general there is a lot more proprietary in AR10/AR308, and much less aftermarket- than with m4gery/AR15.

If one wants a longer barrel- buy the rifle configured that way from the start, or roll your own AR308.
