Published: December 20, 2025 | Updated: December 20, 2025

How Much is My SIG 550-2 Worth?

The SIG 550‑2 is an even rarer Swiss pre‑ban rifle than many other 550‑series variants. Collectors prize originality, correct factory hardware, and excellent condition. A single detail can materially change pricing, and documentation of era and configuration is critical.

Pre-ban pricing is driven by documented production era and how closely the rifle remains period-correct. Small details like markings, original parts, and finish can materially change value.

About the SIG 550-2

SIG 550‑2 rifles are ultra‑rare Swiss imports from the pre‑ban era, known for tight tolerances and top‑tier build quality. Limited import runs mean that verified, original examples are highly sought after. Original finish, factory markings, and strong condition can push pricing toward the upper end of the range. Any permanent alterations or missing factory components can reduce demand and price.

SIG 550-2 Pre-Ban Values & Variants

Pre-ban SIG 550-2 rifles are valued for their documented era and how closely they remain period-correct. Most examples range from $7,000 to $10,000, depending on originality, condition, and demand in restricted states.

Pre-ban note: For the SIG 550‑2, pre‑ban generally refers to import or production before September 13, 1994. Verified originality and documentation meaningfully affect market demand and pricing due to the rifle’s extreme rarity.

How to confirm your SIG 550-2 is pre-ban

  • Receiver markings and factory designations
  • Overall configuration and stock/hardware
  • Signs of permanent modification or refinishing
  • Original parts or accessories if present
  • Any documentation or provenance

Tip: photos of receiver markings, overall configuration, and any documentation help us move faster and price more accurately.

Factors That Influence SIG 550-2 Values

Original Configuration:

Rifles that remain in original factory configuration with correct hardware, markings, and finish typically bring the highest offers.

Receiver Markings & Documentable Era:

Clear markings, original finish, and documentation help confirm manufacturing and import era. Strong photos of the receiver, markings, and major components support a stronger valuation.

Condition & Finish:

Original finish and honest wear outperform refinished or heavily altered examples. Significant wear, corrosion, or missing factory parts can reduce value even if the rifle functions.

Modifications & Permanence:

Aftermarket parts, refinishing, or permanent alterations often reduce collector value. Where possible, reversible changes are preferred, but the ideal is a rifle as close to factory as possible.

Collector Completeness & Documentation:

Original accessories, paperwork, and any provenance documentation can increase collector demand. If parts were changed, including original parts can help preserve value.

State-Driven Demand:

In markets or states where pre‑ban rifles are in higher demand, verified examples may sell faster and command a premium compared to later or modified rifles.

Potential upside, but you wait for the sale, pay commissions and still carry uncertainty around final prices and timelines.

What makes a SIG 550-2 more valuable?
Scarcity, originality, and condition. Because 550‑2 examples were extremely limited, verified factory condition and markings are the biggest value drivers. Any alterations or missing original components can reduce collector interest.
What does pre-ban mean for a SIG 550-2?
Pre‑ban indicates import or production before the federal restrictions effective September 1994. Although federal rules changed, collectors may still pay premiums for well‑documented pre‑ban examples, especially those showing original configuration.
What should I check to confirm my SIG 550-2 is original?
Look for Swiss factory markings, original finish, and correct hardware. Photos of receiver markings, furniture, and overall condition help confirm originality. Documentation of provenance or import history adds strength to the valuation.
Do modifications hurt the value of a SIG 550-2?
Yes, usually. Aftermarket parts, refinishing, or permanent alterations reduce collector demand. Maintaining original parts or providing them along with the rifle helps preserve value.
