I just went on line and typed Sig 551 mags and by mistake typed Sig 550 mags . DSA dsarms.com has a SIg 550 drum (Beta Mag Style) for $279.95. 100 round drum. Damn!!!!

I lieki my 551A1 and I'm buying one of these today.

Holy Crap!!!

Honestly you are better off spending the same money on the standard Swiss mags. The Beta is pointless on a semiauto rifle. I bought an AR15 Beta mag during the mag ban, used it a few times on a semiauto AR15, which was really pointless, then when I bought a fullauto M16 I used it a few times. It quickly becomes a novelty even on fullauto. I eventually sold it a spent the money on Colt AR15 mags.

Do yourself a favor and don't bother buying a Beta for any semiauto rifle.
