Why did you have to show me this? I'm trying to save money! 
Funny, Colorado Guns has been asking $360 for that same stock. Guess they have been ripping people off by massively overcharging.
Well it could be worse, I just ordered the 551-A1. I could have just bought a 556 and then got the kit and had both!
I hear you, probably wouldn't be my choice if I was only going to have one rifle. But it's different, not the same old AR-15 styling that everyone else has. That and the fact that these are like the original 550/551 series that is insanely expensive to own now.

Yeah thats brutal, they offer the whole set for $474. I guess they sort of cornered the market on SIG 550/551 parts though.

Actually, I'm thinking about just ordering the stock. Like Mike said, I'd prefer to keep using all my AR mags. Not sure I want to buy a bunch of expensive proprietary mags to be able to use the lower. Seriously though. Appreciate the heads-up. Gonna call them first thing in the morning.
Stock is definitely much better than the crap they tossed on the SIG556/522. $34 is what they are charging for the mags, cheapest I have seen, CDNN is like $49, Colorado Guns and Top Gun supply are on crack charging $79. I bought one because its the closest I will ever get to a real 550/551. Flat out can't pay what they are going for.

Will the stock fit the 522? Would be a nice little subtle change
I was thinking the same thing for my 522. More than likely the other stock parts are the same on the 556.
I have seen 556 under $1000. The SIG 551-A1 I have seen on gunbroker from $1400-1600 that's in the ballpark of what I just paid. I wish they made them this way in the first place.
The uppers are serialized. I guess the biggest thing is that there were not many imported before the import ban. So they are very pricey if you want to own one. Take a look at some of the prices.

Other than that I just like it, I don't know... Why do people like AR's, AK's, FAL's...They just do. Why limit yourself to one type of toy get some variety!
