Does a SIG 556 Take M4 mags?

my team mate may be getting one, so just wondering.

It certainly does.
I had a KA one it liked most mags, but did not like metal G&P midcaps.

Totally agree, the metal mags seem a very tight fit.
Mag brand mids fit perfectly.
Plastic mags seem to be slightly slimmer.

Mags will be tight in a King Arms 556 because King Arms, for whatever reason, make their bodies with a narrow mag well. This, when coupled with their own mags, means a very snug fit (i.e. no wobble; win) - however, because of this, you may need to modify (read 'sand' or 'file') some magazines to ensure a best fit.

Mag brand m4 mags are a perfect fit - fecking king arms always have tight mag wells. I ended up buying a loadout of mag plastic magazines specifically to work with the 556 and my king arms m16.
I was damned if I was going to file down a load of pmags just to fit the sig - screw that for a game of fairies...

The ics 556 I used didn't like some m4 mags, they didn't seat 100% and had to.adjust the receiver catch.

No gun likes g&p midcaps. They are the midcap from hell.

Very strange. My G&P midcaps fit every M4 based AEG that I have and have had!:)
Apart from the SIG 556..

Oh the ones ive had fitted too... but never paticularly liked to feed. Ive had them for ak and m4, and none fed properly. No amount of working inside them, cleaning or filing ever quite managed to get them perfect. Fit is one thing, but having to give them a wack to get them to feed a few more rounds is quite frustrating.

I got some amused looks one game taking my mags out of my ak, wacking them on a tree and continuing to fire, lol.

Should have clarified!!
When I said fit, I meant fit and fed perfectly.:)
Until the Pmags came along they were always my number one choice.
