    Media Relations? How about Customer Relations?

    Dear Sir,

    Where can I find a parts kit for my SIG 556 Classic Rifle and SIG 556 Classic SBR? Your fine colleagues in NH claim they are no longer available.

    How do you plan on convincing the gun buying public to purchase other proprietary SIG platforms when you clearly don’t support previous proprietary platforms?

    Love,

    Jeff S
