The SIG516 G3 combines a short-stroke piston system with an adjustable gas system, while steel-reinforced components are specified for high-wear areas. Its free-floating M-LOK handguard and Picatinny rail leave room for compatible accessories without changing the rifle’s core configuration. The matte anodized finish, synthetic stock, and polymer grip keep the construction details straightforward. We stock this model for shooters who want an AR rifle with ambidextrous controls and a threaded 16-inch barrel. The result is the Sig Sauer SIG516 G3.
