You tube has some good videos that helped me do mine, it isn't difficult. Be careful when you put the screw back in that holds the cocking handle it stripped on me but I had a spare. Good luck.
That is a nice looking sight. I think most people were excited about the adapter because it would allow the use of any of the many buis out there, I like the yhm that I have on my ARs but I read rave reviews about the troys. I have the sig hooded front sights on both my 522 and 556 patrol rifle and really like them. Cazio
I just looked up the link an it is a dovetail to picatinny rail adapter for the sig 522 & 556. They list is made of aluminum with a steel set screw. I don't want to get in trouble by posting a picture from the website. If you want to see it just search the site with the number in the post above. Cazio
Will I need the forward pin for the handguard? Is there much mod needed just curious? I've installed part of the conversion kit to my 522 so I'm not worried about the work but would like to know. Thanks again for the link. Cazio
Hey guys, I'm wondering where to buy a handguard for my GSG-522? I have the SD but would like to get one of the regular carbine ones or the wide but haven't been able to locate one yet. If anyone can help please let me know where to buy. Thanks Cazio
Kilibreaux thanks for that info, I was thinking the same when I posted the question. I have always wanted an MP-5 but anyways once I got my 522 I knew I would have to convert it back to the 5 if only for the front sight which to me is critical. I have my kit already but have been to busy to do the work, I will probably take the top rail off as it really doesn't appeal to me. Thanks again for your post. Cazio
Thanks for the advice and tips. I was looking at the sig sights made specifally for the 522, they are the ones that have the peep rear sight. I was curious to know if anyone was using them. Cazio
I was wondering how you guys feel about the sig iron sights for the 522? I was thinking of ordering a set from sig since they gave me a code for 20% off accessories when I registered it online. Please let me hear your thoughts. Thanks Cazio
