The SIGM400 TREAD is a fully upgradeable AR-15 platform with premium features being offered by SIG Sauer at an unprecedented price point. Owners of the TREAD can configure the platform for mission-specific activities using the TREAD branded accessories with minimal tools or upgrade slowly as budgets allow while still having a very capable rifle.
The TREAD features a 16-inch stainless steel barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 1:8 twist rate. The TREAD also has a mid-length gas system, ultralight micro gas block, three-prong flash hider, full-length free float handguard with M-Lok, ambi safety and mag release, single stage polished and hard coated trigger, ambi QDs, and Magpuls SL-K telescoping buttstock.
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.
MSRP for the TREAD is $951 but you can find them on GunsAmerica for as little as $799.99

Was the Romeo included in the box when you bought it?
Just another AR? And I got a E-mail notification about this article.. Who cares!? Show me something new.
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.
