I have owned the Sig 516 for about four years. I love this Carbine with it's gas piston operating system !! Very accurate smooth handling and Sig standing behind the product. The "only" thing I did not like was the quad rail handguard. It was short (to accommodate the gas valve adjustment knob) and pretty fat. A little outdated. I soon found out the Sig handguard was proprietary and none of the usual aftermarket products would work. I figured it was just going to be one of those things I would have to live with until Sig decided to make an upgrade. Then I stumbled across the Lancer Sig 516 upgrade while watching a NutNFancy video on YouTube. As is my nature so did some research and decided the Lancer was what I was looking for. I found it on Optics Planet for $20.00 cheaper then everyone else plus free shipping. It took a "little" longer to get it shipped but as it was not a critical part the extra week was insignificant. It arrived and it IS exactly what I was hoping for. Easy to install. The length is perfect. The top cutout allies adjustment of the gas system knob if needed. There is a full length rail on top and additional rail in varying lengths can easily be installed where you need them. It is very sleek and comfortable! Worth every Penney !! Thanks Lancer and thanks Optics Planet.
