FIREARMS: SIG SAUER M400
SIG SAUER M400
AR-15 platform rifles are showing up on the secondary market at 1/3 the cost of what buyers rushed
to for them and interest has started to move to other platforms such as AK-47s and handguns. Luckily,
there are a few companies that have continued to make high quality AR-15 rifles, such as SIG, to provide
shooters with reliable, accurate and well-built products.
Over the past decade, the hottest growing
firearms platform in the industry has been
by far the AR-15. With the recent “assault
weapons ban” scare drummed up in the
waning years of the Obama administration,
production ramped up double time to keep
up with panic buying! This only resulted
in hurting the industry overall with price
gouging, poor quality rifles, and huge
drop in values after the scare was over. With the current
administration enjoying decent success within its first term,
the firearms industry has seen less panic buying despite
select liberal states still charging hard against gun rights.
This time, we take a look at the M400 from SIG Sauer
chambered in 5.56 NATO. Before you say, “Oh great,
yet ANOTHER gas-impingement M4 style AR-15,” take a
moment to read about SIG’s offering and see for yourself
how this may be an answer for skeptical rifle buyers looking
to purchase a new AR-15 in a market full of “ban scare”
junk. To start off, NO, the M400 is NOT a fancy new piston
rifle nor does it need to be. What this rifle does offer are
subtle upgrades in an accurate and reliable package from
one of the biggest names in the firearms industry.
