NOTE: Clicking on most pics will bring them up, much enlarged, in another window.
It seems that I must put this statement on each page of the website.
I have NO affiliation
with
SIG Manufacturing Co.
I do not have magical access to kits. I do not have a store that sells kits.
I do not have access to, or sell kit parts. I do not create kits.
I do have a website that shows every kit SIG has ever put out.
You are seeing it now.
