Mechanical Characteristics And Weapon Theory 2.1. Weapon Description 2.1.1. General The SIG 556 Rifle is a semi-automatic, gas operated weapon, with a rotary bolt mechanism. Semi-automatic means one round will fire each time the trigger is pulled until the magazine is emptied of ammunition. The rifle is chambered in 5.
SIG556 OM 12.06.qxp 1/8/2007 2:25 PM Page 10 2.1.3. Bolt The bolt consists of two main parts: • Bolt Carrier • Bolt Head a. Bolt Carrier: The bolt carrier guides the bolt head, controls the locking and unlocking by means of the cam, holds the operating rod, and cocks the hammer. b. Bolt Head: The bolt head locks the bolt assembly, houses the firing pin and extractor and feeds the cartridges from the magazine to the chamber. 2.1.4.
SIG556 OM 12.06.qxp 1/8/2007 2:25 PM Page 11 2.1.5. Trigger Casing Assembly And Butt Stock The trigger casing assembly contains the internal components of the firing and safety mechanisms, bolt catch, magazine well, magazine release, and butt stock assembly. The safety lever, located on both sides of the trigger casing, can be set to two positions: • Position "S:" The weapon is locked in the safe position. • Position "F:" The weapon will fire in the semi-automatic mode.
SIG556 OM 12.06.qxp 1/8/2007 2:25 PM Page 12 The trigger guard may be released from its normal position to make the trigger accessible for shooting with gloves. For safety reasons the trigger guard must not be released until just before firing the weapon, and after firing should be immediately returned to the normal (closed) position. CAUTION: Be careful of accidental discharges when inserting gloved fingers into the trigger guard.

SIG556 OM 12.06.qxp 1/8/2007 2:25 PM Page 20 AMMUNITION 1. Use only high quality, original, factory-manufactured ammunition. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent, or damaged. Do not oil cartridges. Do not spray aerosol-type lubricants, preservatives, or cleaners directly onto cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges. Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions.
SIG556 OM 12.06.qxp 1/8/2007 2:25 PM Page 21 3. Firearms may be severely damaged and serious injury to the shooter or to others may result from any condition causing excessive pressure inside the chamber or barrel during firing. Excessive pressure can be caused by obstructions in the barrel, propellant powder overloads, the use of incorrect cartridges or defectively assembled cartridges.
