Features
The carbon steel barrel pairs with an aluminum alloy receiver for a durable, corrosion-resistant package. Picatinny rails front and rear give you room to mount optics, lights, or other accessories without modification. The collapsible stock adjusts length of pull to suit different shooter builds or body armor configurations, and the Flat Dark Earth finish on the receiver and handguard reduces glare in bright outdoor conditions.
At 12.3 lbs, the SIG716 Patrol G2 is on the heavier end for a 16-inch AR-pattern rifle, which most shooters attribute to the full-power 7.62 NATO gas system. That weight does help tame recoil and keeps the muzzle flat during rapid fire. The 20-round magazine is the standard factory configuration, though SR-25 / DPMS-pattern magazines also fit.
