BadhammerRead a review dated January 2012 about the "recently introduced 551-A1" so the must have started producing them about that time.

Dwill104Another review from Nov 2011.
http://www.gunsandammo.com/rev...ic-sig-551a1-review/Seems like they were introduced late 2011 because I bought mine in Dec. 2011

RacineI'm still shooting mine. It's too bad they stopped making them. I loved their design from the get go long before they made them here.

Sig209I agree. I think that had potential as a viable sporting alternative to the standard AR15-type rifle.
Ever supplant it as the most popular? No. But serve as a quality alternative? Absolutely.
Oh well.

dogrobber13Bought one last year "new, old stock" with a Nov 2011 manufacture date.
I love this rifle, now I'm looking for a 556 pistol to sbr with the 551 lower.
