Modifications To The Sig 522 Rimfire
The SIG 522 is perhaps the best ‘tactical twenty two’ currently available. It is surprisingly accurate and insensitive to ammunition variations, even cycling on some brands of subsonics. The SIG really deserves the kinds of adaptation possible with the AR. There isn’t the plethora of accessories that are available for the AR, but there is a lot of scope for turning the 522 into a versatile weapon system.
The Samson SIG 522 rail enables you to get 19″ of rail space on the top of your rifle, making for great flexibility in the placement of optics and in co-witnessing. The quad rail with its four MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rails enables you to fit foresights, lasers, lamps and bipods as you wish. The quad rail is CNC machined from 6061 T-6 aluminum and given a hard black anodizing for abrasion and corrosion protection. No permanent modifications to the rifle result from the fitting of this unit.
The 522 is supplied without iron sights to keep its price down. The factory SIG sights are very expensive and the factory front sight can only be used with the factory rear. Samson Manufacturing have come up with their own SIG 522 sights which sit at the same height in comparison with the line of sight as an M16A2 rearsight. The Samson front sight works with any rearsight that fits a Picatinny rail and puts its aperture at the same height as an A2 rearsight. The front sight is spring operated and actuated by a button, locking securely in either up or down position. Two types of foresight protector are manufactured. One has AR wing protectors. The other uses the ‘circle within a circle’ style of the H&K or AK for rapid centering and engagement.
The SIG 522 was designed around the very reliable Black Dog 30 round mag. There is also a Black Dog 50 round AR drum mag which feeds very well with the SIG 522. Manufactured from polycarbonate, the 50 round Black Dog is intended for semiauto use only, but can be made to work with a fully automatic weapon with some fine tuning.
