Thanks Josh. Was CCF the place down in Richmond, VA? I recall reading about a company there when I first dove into Swiss SIG stuff but the place in Richmond was no longer around by then. | |||

Merry Chistmas Dan, The Manurhin mount I know resembles the commercial SIG clamping mount made for the aluminum adapters. It was just a bit shorter. Could it be that FAMAE build a compelte mount based on the SIG/Manurhin patter? A picutre would be interesting for sure. | |||

So....wow, small world. Looking at the ATF letter on CCF's website, the aforementioned industry liason is someone I know personally and have been to his home. I worked with his wife for many years and we used to go over for parties and such. He's retired now but I knew he worked for ATF, didn't realize he had some relevance on this matter.  | |||

Yes. CCF was in Richmond. Larry no longer has a ffl/sot. --------------------------------------------- "AND YEA THOUGH THE HINDUS SPEAK OF KARMA, I IMPLORE YOU...GIVE HER A BREAK, LORD". - Clark W. Griswald | |||

If/When I get one you'll be the first to see it. Unfortunately, I have no photos. I just took my buddy's word for what he had. It is my assumption these mounts were made for South American law enforcement agencies.
I bought the Die Hard AUG from Larry back in the day. Neither of us knew what it was. It was priced right so I jumped on it.   “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.” – Barack Hussein Obama, January 23, 2009 | |||

Very cool. I did not realize you bought that AUG from Larry. As I recall you also picked up one of the very rare 551 Commando barrel, gas tube, gas piston, and handguard kits he was selling that use a gas system in between the 552/553 and 551. Larry always had great stuff. --------------------------------------------- "AND YEA THOUGH THE HINDUS SPEAK OF KARMA, I IMPLORE YOU...GIVE HER A BREAK, LORD". - Clark W. Griswald | |||

Yep. I got that kit from Larry. I still have it sitting in a box.    “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.” – Barack Hussein Obama, January 23, 2009 | |||

Wait, what? |
I owned an FNC fixed stock rifle for several years. I very much regret trading it away back in the mid 90’s. Completely smooth, reliable, and accurate. Just a great long gun- been a while since I’ve seen one in the wild. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Those are neat. Basically what Exeter went with on the 556p/patrol/SBR. You should buy a current 553 import and swap that front end onto it. --------------------------------------------- "AND YEA THOUGH THE HINDUS SPEAK OF KARMA, I IMPLORE YOU...GIVE HER A BREAK, LORD". - Clark W. Griswald | |||

I already have two 550s and three 551s. That's enough. I guess I could put it onto my ex-PD 551 SWAT SBR. Or maybe I should just pass it onto someone else who would appreciate it. Like I said, it just sits in a box.

Enough?! You don’t have a 553. You should remedy that ASAP. --------------------------------------------- "AND YEA THOUGH THE HINDUS SPEAK OF KARMA, I IMPLORE YOU...GIVE HER A BREAK, LORD". - Clark W. Griswald | |||
