Good to see you again Val👍

The ngal came from afghanistan ????

Hi valgear, will you make video about your loadout? Or nothing has changed since first one?

you sound kinda asian, are you a merc?

Why the mask? Hiding something?

I have a couple of the 10.5 variants. So far, they've been really good. BTW, Midwest Industries here in the U.S. still has/makes a MLOK handguard for the 516. I seen mixed reviews on it with the main complaint being of improper alignment with the receiver. These work very well suppressed. NOTE: with a B&T Rotex, I recommend running on standard gas setting for Battlefield reliability. On the suppressed setting, it may or may not cycle due to how the Rotex is internally designed. ADDITIONAL NOTE: supposedly the 516 was a design improvement of the HK 416 and the designer(s) of the 416/516 then moved on to Caracal in the UAE and further "refined" the design to develop the Caracal 816 series.

I wonder about the logistics of mixed types of ammunition.

Stay alive brother

10 minutes silence for those who make videos in a shooting range place....but this Bro makes videos and explains everything in the war zone. Glory to Ukraine

@valgear why are you using a lot of full auto?

The French have a .223 rifle grenade

I remember that a few months before this war I started playing Dayz with a Ukrainian and when the war started he told us that he enlisted in the army and wouldn't be able to play for a while. He hasn't logged in for over 2 years. I hope he is well and the war has not absorbed him.

SIG 516 was the working mans less proprietary 416. SIG should have kept the 516/716 and 556/751 instead of the MCX

so glad this popped up, looking at one of these uppers online and was curious, as ive been looking at a brn4 build and this is a more affordable route

AK74 /47 or AR15? Which rifle do you prefer if i may ask

I know of some SSO guys who have these and they seem to like them a lot, but most were coming from using the Kalashnikov previously so I think anything else was better.

They had a production overrun of the 516 and in the US sold a lot of uppers for almost nothing for a while until people realized what a deal they were. Then they disappeared as everyone bought them and put them on gunjoker for three times as much.

Can you make an updated reconnaissance loadout like the one you posted two years ago?

Why is the carbon fiber handguard that Lancer makes for the 516 considered "too light" for military use? Honestly curious if they have been tested. Great video btw.

also will you do a review of some of the rarer guns like f2000, AUG and CETME?

This is not discontinued. Sig discontinued them on the commercial side but they are still offered on the military and LE markets.

ik this is weird but is there a reason why you have a "Finnish" sounding English accent?

Is the DBal a piece of gear Biden gifted to the Taliban?

Have any Bushmaster ACRs made their way over there?

Thx for the review. Stay safe, Val!

I had forgotten about these, this may be the first video I've ever seen going over one.

Valgear where are u from

a family member of mine still uses it in a Turkish special force.

the Caracal 816 is essentially an improved model of the 516.

I have a SIG 516 too it looks like your gas setting is at an angle instead of vertical in the last clip of you shooting. The middle position on your gas selector is for normal conditions. I think you might have it set to adverse. Which increases gas flow and reduces parts life. You should only use that setting if the weather is harsh or the rifle is very dirty. Just a friendly tip. Good luck to you man hope you guys win 👍🇺🇦

Rare discontinued piston driven gucci gear

I have one of these. Impeccable rifle that refuses to fail

I saw a picture with Ukrainian Chechen's with those things.

When you say youre getting dbol from afghanistan, are you buying stuff from taliban?

LMT piston AR is even better, so I don't feel bad about Sig discontinued this one.

Nice rifle. Want one.

Caracal 816A2 is the next advancement of the 416/516 family if you can get your hands of those. By request do you have a video on how IR laser employment in used in Ukraine? We have pretty accurate ideas I suppose of how they used and why their not most used but always better to ask the actual source for real experience.

You can still find complete uppers for sale...

My friend ran one of these for awhile in UKR

how piston systems affect aluminum guides in ar 15

Love my 516. Switched out the handguard for the Midwest Industires mlok handguard and it made it so much lighter.

Good to know that Biden administration helped taliban to make money. Now I'm wondering what they are going to do with all these profits. Kindergartens and animal shelters, maybe?

there seem to be a lot of these "specops" tropthy status weapons ending up on the black market in Europe warnoir did something on the "scene" in Gibraltar , are these sold by the "special" soldiers that seem to brandish them ,I m talking about the poseurs of aidar kraken rdk etc or do these get smuggled from the country en masse via odessa or other export routes?

How much maintenance / cleaning does it need and how well does it handle overheating compared to a classic m4? Is it in these terms as forgiving as the AK platforms or is it more like M4?

It's time it all stopped

Sig 516 fell out of favor because HK already filled that role so they went to the next biggest market, bufferless pistons.

I have a Sig 716 Patrol. It is the 7.62x51mm NATO version of this rifle and it also shares the same piston operating mechanism. The newer Sig 716i is the direct impingement version. I've found the rifle to be very reliable for a 7.62x51 AR10 type rifle. As you pointed out there is no standard for piston ARs and that situation is even worse for AR10s because the Sig 716 is completely proprietary and isn't even compatible with other SR25/LR308 uppers and lowers from what I've read. The gun is much heavier than a DI AR10 but its relatively accurate for what it is and its gassed decently well. Recoil is definitely harsher on the .308 I'm extremely surprised to see this turn up in Ukraine, tbh. Have you come across any BCM Ar15 rifles? I've seen videos with them being used.

If you like piston AR, Sako is making short stroke piston version of AR now, the M23 in both NATO calibers. No idea if they are making civilian or even export sales. Maybe you can run into a finnbro with one.

Any interest on a PEQ 15 review and use inUkraine?

Can you do a video with a comparison of the various platforms & types of rifles being used now they have had a good work out in the trench etc conditions ie reliability & accuracy etc & your preference . Stay Safe Brother
