The SIGM400 TREAD is a fully upgradeable AR-15 platform with premium features being offered by SIG Sauer at an unprecedented price point.

Out of the box, the TREAD is a solid AR-15 that can easily be upgraded. Accessories currently available for the TREAD include 13- and 15-inch M-Lok handguards, muzzle brake, ambi charging handle, ROMEO5 optic, flip up iron sights, M-Lok grip kits, and an upgraded single stage trigger.
The TREAD and accessories are suitable for hunting, 3 Gun, home defense, or patrol rifle duty.

It looks like a nice rifle to add to my collection but does it come “left handed” ?

Nice set up for the $800 price point. The Romeo is about $175 by itself. The only thing I’d change is the trigger but I’d put in a drop in trigger in the 4lb pull range.

Do you have a layaway plan? I love this Beauty! I don’t own any rifles…yet. Plenty of handguns.

Cool rifle. I much prefer a gas piston system. Faxon ARAK-21 has my interest. If you enjoy fouling the chamber area with gas residues that’s cool but for me the AK style action is much more dependable.
