redterror Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 I've been keeping an eye on the 522. I wanted the model with the 2 barrels as I prefer the heavy barrel. I put money down on 1 from my local gun store to order. After 2 months w/no results from my gun store, I happened to stop by a far away Walmart and what did I see? a Sig 522 with the heavy barrel installed, 2 of them. and the gun came with the iron sights (which are metal) and the rails. they wanted $500. I bought it. Just ordered some BDM mags, will post pics soon. it did not come with a gun case (just a box), extended butt pad nor the skinny barrel.
jlin Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 Looks nice! How do you like the factory sights? I've got a combo version (both barrels) and currently have an inexpensive scope mounted. The scope's not really easy to use for shorter range, quick-acquisition type stuff though.
redterror Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Posted March 7, 2012 I like the iron sights. they are a diopter type and you just simply line up the holes, just like on the HK CETME clones. but I am really itching to stick a 4x optic on. I noticed my sight block has 2 threaded holes on either side. what can I stick in there? Looks nice! How do you like the factory sights?

jlin Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 Mine didn't come with sights, so I've never seen the factory sights. If you're talking about the front gas block, one of the holes contains a set screw to lock the fake gas block onto the barrel.
Madhouse Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Too cool. Our walmarts (in the city) don't sell guns anymore.
