I have a 716 upper and was wanting to purchase a lower for it, what type of lowers will work with this upper other than a SIG?

I don't think any ... I've had a Knights, DPMS & Armalite, besides my SiG 716-DMR and none of the lowers would interchange with other uppers.

The SiG is a kind of an oddball anyway as other hand-guards wont even fit it. Also, IIRC, even the barrels have a different cut and wont fit other upper receivers.


If you really want something you'll find a way ...
... if you don't you'll find an excuse.

I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either Wink

Yeah, 7.62x51 ARs are a different animal from AR-15s, a lot less commonality.

Why do you want a different lower?


It would probably be easier to change out the trigger or the stock rather than change out the complete lower, if that is what you are after.

I read it as he only has the upper, not a complete rifle.

I don't have a lower the only thing I have
is a complete upper. I want to buy a complete lower in order to make a complete rifle.

I suspect that only a Sig 716 lower will work with your upper.

Finding a lower only will likely be a challenge. Maybe someone has a shot-out upper and wants to unload the rifle. Gun auction sites are worth a look.

Or going from a different side, consider selling your upper. Re-invest the proceeds into a complete rifle -- and not necessarily a Sig.

A shot-out upper ... come on fritz, not many people shoot as much as you, and even fewer shoot SiG's!

But I can't think of a better place to look. Save a search on GunBroker and have it send you emails for new listings ... I don't know if other auctions have a similar feature.

I bought a new stripped Sig lower for my 516 upper from a place online, DEguns.net.

No affiliation with them, and their shipping was slow as hell. But, they had one and no one else did!! Might be worth checking

Sex offenders can not be rehabilitated. It's in their wiring. They should not be released back into the general public. On the other hand they should not be warehoused either. I think they should be executed.....Spectre

When someone tries to kill you, it doesn't matter how they are doing it. You're in mortal danger, and it's time to try to kill them back.

Kill every last one of these goddamned animals. We need a president with balls. We need leadership. We should be carpet bombing these barbarians wherever we find them, and we should be looking for them 24/7. We have to unleash Hell upon them. They understand nothing but death, so death is what we should bring them, wholesale.... Para
