Sig 550 Terminator...( I need your socks, your thongs and your motorbike and your kitten goes prr )

Well…

24hrs from contemplation, to creation…!!

From decision, to acquisition…!!

After signalling interest in the AR-18 replica, Rok advised M4A1 Nambour was having a 50% off sale…and had stock…!!

I put on my racing boots, grabbed @Friendly_Fire , and zipped up to Nambour for a pre-peak hour raid…!!

First time to Nambour in a long time… we were greeted by a rambling crackhead wandering the streets…he was known to the owner…!!
:scream: :rofl: :rofl:

Anyway, $250 for a all metal SIg 550 was too good an offer to pass up…

This is a L O N G Boy…!!

Hefty too…i’ll have arms like Arnie , from single arm weilding it…!!

It has a built in metal bipod…which is easily removable.
Likewise, the folding stock, is one pin to knock out to remove.

It then looks quite Arnie accurate…

With some of the bulk removed, the weight is more manageable.

There is no mag prime, and the fire select is ambi.
The metal is quite solid, and the trigger, moveable trigger guard, and cocking lever are metal.

The front shrouds are held on by a pin, and come off quite easily.
The battery chamber is rounded, and designed to take a cylinderical battery.

I might buy a fresh 11.1 v round batt, and change the terminals.
The rectangular batt wont sit properly, to allow the cover on , so round it is.

With the stock off, there is a quick change spring access, so thats awesome for easy access…

Not that you need it…

Standard spring…

ROK, your allowed to have a holiday… i can live with this one for awhile…!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :scream:

Being a Longboi, with a massive barrel, this comes as no surprise.

The motor thunks away quite cleanly…and, with gels being fired is surprisingly quiet.

Dry firing is loud, but firing is quite quieter.

Its a LONG barrel, and i really wouldn’t wanna run around all day with this.
Bipod on , resting on a hill, cover fire…different story.

A few comparo photos, to showcase the size…

The SPAS is a big boi, and its the same size as folded ( and heavier)

Sig 552 full length, is same size as cut down Arnie version…

It makes the MCX rattler, look like a secondary…!!

So, in summary…

This is a pretty dang close replica, to the movie prop…

Good enough for me.!

The price…$250… an absolute steal…unfortunately they are now sold out.

I also bought a $250 sig 552, which is currently having some minor mods done… @Friendly_Fire , feel free to throw up some pics.!

Not expecting 340 fps, from that…!! :smiley: :smiley:

Great value for the price.

The mags are a little small on capacity, … i wonder… can a JM J11 mag be modified to fit.?

Larger capacity, and longer curved appearance…

Hmmmm…

Foot/ sock / sandal shots included, at no extra fee…!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Well Arnie makes an AR18 look like a bloody MP5 anyway. It’s the terminator.

So you kidnapped FF just to go get it. Haha na just stirring good on ya champ. Good deal too.

I need this SIG, quick get in haha. Good on ya guys, why the eff not. :+1: :+1:

I literally had to drive right past his place on the way there…

why not go for a drive.??!

All good fun…!!

I still call it kidnap :rofl: That’ll stuff the ayees up.

Oi your coming with me, fk off you again, it’s a SIG. Ok let’s roll out :rofl:

Or something like that, man if I didn’t have a tractor tyre onboard I would be there too hauling ass. Oh fk forgot to take that tyre off, get round to that later. Haha :rofl: :rofl: :+1:

I take it it’s an in-store only 50% off sale, there’s no sale advertised on their website and everything is still full price online, buggers

344fps… fwoaar, nice :+1:t2:

What gels were you using? Didn’t see it mentioned in your posts, maybe I’m blind

Oh and did they have spare magazines? Their website shows stock available

Not Gunna lie, lil bit jelly, spewing that was their last one, although I do quite like my jg sig 551, definitely one of my favourite blasters in my collection, handguard looks much nicer on the 550 tho, I can’t front

Hang on a minute, where was your invite to this snatch n grab show. Booo not fair :rofl: :+1:

Would’ve had to gel battle it out for the last one if I was involved…

A dual at 10 paces :gun:

Gentleman, choose your weapon

It’s ok you called for reinforcements, air dropping in 3, 2, deploy, ahrghh oh no it’s him. :rofl: I can hear Beemer saying what happened to one. Not on my team, how you get the drop. :rofl:

Jokes aside, there’s lot’s I want I miss out on but others can manage to get but still very cool to read about it here :+1:

Just using i hobby blues.

I believe the nambour store is seperate from m4A1 now…was sold off.

Hence, local 50% off sale, and not listed on the M4a1 website.

End of lease sale…they have to move out…they sold a lot of stuff in the past few days.

I wouldn’t have known except Rok telling me, so…!!

Out of stock ? … “i’ll Be Back!!”

i grabbed some mags from the M4A1 website… i’ll see if a JM J11 mag can be modified to accept a Sig mag top…

Longer , curved mag transplant…

In between the BS banter, I believe that was the last at that store that got scooped up and as ROK said earlier there was very little extra mags brought in. From the real chat, besides me and beemer dribbling shit. Sorry I’ll shut up now.

I think that is all she wrote from what I have read.

I’m air dropping on beemer now, so just to confirm that was 3 Pulse rifles, shitload of pistols, carl gustav, the SIG, I’ll throw a bumfk of MP5s in and extract hot. Did you want a pinball machine too. Ack, go go, lift off inbound hot, package secured. :rofl: :rofl: for you @shadow187 that was what was on the docket anyway. :rofl: :rofl: :+1:

haha everything you read above is absolute bullshit :+1:

I love a deal, and so does everyone!
The once mighty M4A1 was split up between the original owners and new ones. Names changed etc.
Townsville M4A1 is the website one now, the Nambour one is not the same business and owners. Nambour do not have a website as such.

They may find another 550, but the condition may not be brand new in box.
Give them a call @shadow187

They are still finding things though you may need to settle with an ex-demo/ex-display model without a box or battery etc. Or might not be working and so on. The price will change to suit of course, they are good with that sort of thing.
It is a case seeing what they can find and what condition it is in, and see if the deal suits you.

Yesterday I got a few blasters that need some work. But I do love a project (and a deal!), and there is every chance I am going to pull any blaster apart for some tinkering anyway so that suits me fine!

That is not for everyone though. I prefer broken stuff for the cost reason as it is well priced, and I have loads of spares and don’t mind doing the work. I also get enjoyment from keeping something from going to waste, I guess that is my jam!

They are trying to find another suitable premises, but they didn’t get much notice.
It is a shame, and with import uncertainties I feel we are witnessing the first of many winding down as the industry struggles to stay alive until the imports are certain one way or the other.

As I have been saying, support your favourite gel businesses any way you can, as it is tough now, it is going to get tougher, and only the strongest will survive until imports can happen again (assuming they can that is! Optimism!)

The loss of this store is a big hit to me, it’s been my local for the entire almost 9 years it was there. So many fond memories, blasters, and friends from it.

Anyway, Back to the Sig 55x chat!
