The SIG 516 G3 Mohawk is a 5.56 NATO short-stroke piston rifle (SIG Sauer part no. R516G3-556N-16B-CP1) built for shooters who want gas-piston reliability without the added weight some piston guns carry. It’s fitted with a 16-inch barrel threaded 1/2×28 and a 1:7-inch twist rate for stabilizing a wide range of 5.56 loads, and feeds from a 30-round magazine for extended range sessions. This configuration ships as part of SIG’s Freedom Pack promotion, which bundles the rifle with a free P365 pistol at the point of sale, no rebate or extra paperwork required. Weighing approximately 10.5 lbs, the 516 G3 Mohawk gives shooters SIG’s proven piston platform along with a compact everyday-carry pistol in a single purchase.
