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.
The SIG 556 rifle
is equipped with a
collapsible stock,
featuring integral
sling attachment
points and battery

2.1.6. Gas Valve Position
The gas volume required for the function of the SIG 556 rifle can
be controlled by the gas valve. The gas valve has two positions:
a. Position 1 (Rib of gas valve in vertical position).
Under normal conditions, the gas valve should remain in Position
1. This will give the best all-around performance and function.
