2.1.6 Gas Valve Position

The gas volume required for the function of the SIG556

®

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.

b. Position 2 (Rib of gas valve in the slanted position).

poS 1 - riB VertiCal

poS 2 - riB SlanteD
