I found a few things that weren't as comfortable as I liked on the Sig, now that the newness had worn off, and I was more aware of stuff, just like tiny squeaks and rattles in a car. For one thing, the stock had a round ridge on the front that bothered my cheek when I had the stock extended to the position I wanted.
So I swapped out for a mid-grade Magpul stock that Sig also uses. The green arrow shows the offending element better.
Fortunately, it was easy to swap stuff out due to my stash of AR15/M4 stocks, handguards, buffer tubes, buffers, springs, etc. These are the big parts, and don't include several pounds of smaller parts.
I also found out that the vertical gangsta' grip was too far forward for comfort. No big deal, I brought it back several notches when I got back home. But then I couldn't reach the flashlight, and it was just mounted on a small piece of rail that was now too far forward for me.
I didn't have the problem with the M4, and couldn't figure out why for a long tine. Then I finally realized the M4 has a short forearm and a lot of barrel sticking out, and the Sig was the exact opposite.
I needed more rail acreage where I wanted it, and none of the classic Sig forearms would fill the bill. So it was off to my discount site to order the Troy Industries rail, just like the shorter one I put on the P556 pistol a few months ago.
What this means is I now have the Samson plastic furniture, and the Midwest Industries front sight, as surplus to my needs. Anybody with a Sig is welcome to them, because otherwise they just go into my parts stash. Putting that quad rail on is pretty much irreversible. In fact, ask about other M4/AR15 furniture. It may be in that box, waiting for a home. Just ask.
Since I've been doing H&K and GSG work recently, I uncovered more stuff, and put it in an even bigger box. This is my H&K parts hoard of the stuff I found so far, excluding a couple bags of small parts, and a couple dozen G3 mags.
In today's world, that box may be the closest thing to a savings plan that The One can't make vanish with the stroke of a pen.
Finally, after our little range session was over, Mike mentioned how he had a difficult time getting a good sight picture with the scope on either rifle. I had no such problem, and never gave it a second thought.
Then he mention how his ear muffs were interfering, and it dawned on me I was wearing my Sensgards, which are far more compact, and I find much more comfortable. I never realized that they would interfere less, too.
I think I'll buy him a set for Christmas as a stocking stuffer. If you want to try something other than earmuffs, give them a try. Amazon carries them, along with other sites that deal with tools, or shooting.
