POTD: The New Swiss SIG Sauer SG563 SB
We have some exclusive images of the new Swiss SIG Sauer SG563 SB, and we love to share them here on our Photo Of The Day. The lower says 5.56x45, SIG Sauer AG, Made in Switzerland, and the new handguard is free-floating with M-LOK and Picatinny rails on top. The trigger is from MAC AG in Germany and is fully adjustable. It felt really, really nice, with a short reset.
The magwell is removable, so you can change between Magpul PMAGs (and similar) and the original Swiss-style magazines. The parts on the lower are ambidextrous and said to be fully compatible with normal AR parts (including the trigger).
This gun has a production year of 2025.
The stock is adjustable and foldable.
All-in-all, as you may have noticed, this is a mixture of SIG 553 & SIG MCX features, where classic design meets modern ergonomics.
Will it come to the USA? We don’t know for sure yet, and we don’t know the price.

Is it me or does it look like a slightly less bloated ARX-160?
Looks pretty good. Do people like those stubby safety levers?
