Already Included Features
The M400 Tread may appear to be an entry level AR for the Sig Sauer company, but it's definitely not an entry level like others where a complete top to bottom face lift is required!
Other generic ARs have to spend extra money to get
- Ambi safety selector - Better left / right control ergonomics
- Ambi mag release - Works for left / right handed shooters
- Magpul SLK stock - Rock solid, no wobble, slim profile
- Reinforced Built-In QD Slots - Added sling attachment point
Sig M400 Enhanced Upgrades
Troy Enhanced Trigger Guard - Works Better With Gloves
The existing M400 Tread trigger guard has a bow profile to it, but it's still not big enough for glove users.
If you wear gloves in the winter when shooting, you need a bigger trigger guard to clear the gloves.
Geissele Super Modular MK16 Rail - Mount Accessories
Right out of the box, the Sig M400 Tread comes with a M LOK rail, but it doesn't seem to dissipate heat well after rapid firing. The Geissele MK16 rail is one of the top Sig M400 Trend handguard options.
Available for 9.3", 10.5", 13.5". A2 front sight must be removed first and low profile gas block is required for installation.
Better Heat Resistant - Full rail slot cuts reduces weight and maximize heat dissipation
Laser Device - Mount laser devices with much more accuracy
M LOK Compatible - Mount any MLOK accessories like lights, laser, and grips you want at the 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12 O'clock positions.
Rock Solid Receiver Lock - Anti rotational tab holds on to the M400 standard A2 upper receiver from the left and right to prevent any shifting
Thick Barrel Nut - Long cantilever beam barrel nut design holds the handguard tight and sturdy along the bore, and doesn't flex or wobble
Raptor Charging Handle - Increased Durability & Ergonomics
The raptor charging handle should be added to any AR during the upgrade process.
Ambi - Charge the bolt from the right side during shoulder transition
Increased Durability - Charge it hard without shearing the handle over time unlike the one out of the box
Much Larger Latch - Easier to grip & pull with a serrated surface

Geissele Super 42 Braided Buffer Spring - Improved Spring Service Life
Eliminated Spring Twang Sound - The braided wire spring kills the annoying twang sound and preserves spring harmonics inside the buffer tube.
We recommend the Geissele Super 42 Braided Spring with H1 or H2 buffer for 16" standard gas system
Increased Cycle Life - The spring operates ONLY at around ~35% of its maximum stress load to increase its service life.
Improved Spring Haromincs - The spring flexes separately from each other like a harmonic damper to displace excess energy to prevent failure.
Improved Reliability - The Braided wire increases bolt return force to ensure proper round chambering when dealing with a dirt or steel case ammo
