FarEast Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Well guys, I finaly got permission to release the news of the much anticipated ICS SIG 551. ICS has been working very closely with the SIG team on recreating a perfect replica of the SIG Arms 551 rifle, there are one or two difference between the ICS and the real steel SIG but these have been put in by the SIG team but trust me if you have never seen or used a real steel SIG 551 you won't know what these little differences are. So here she is! Thanks again ICS for allowing Arnie's Exclusively release this information! Link to post Share on other sites
MDK_Marshal Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Does it have burst? Sorry, it's the question everyone's going to ask... so I may as well get it out of they way =D EDIT - never mind, I looked at the selector switch... Link to post Share on other sites
Trasher Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Looking good! Link to post Share on other sites
fal Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 sexh. minus that stupid looking illuminator. Link to post Share on other sites
Nicoli Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 hmm looks good...but I'll stick with my TM one. Nice and rare and has burst. hopefully some of the parts will be reasonably interchangeable, incase my front handguard snaps (it's a little weak atm) Link to post Share on other sites
Shinden Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Not bad at all, however I am curious as to what gearbox ICS is utilizing for this AEG. Link to post Share on other sites
Ubar Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Probably the same V3 format as they did in their ak series? Link to post Share on other sites
Supernaut Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I'm no SIG rifle expert, what are the details that are changed from real steel and how easy is to fix them? Things like exact meassurements of the reciever (alá airsoft AK's) doesn't bother me to much, but if fixable details are off it's nice to know about them. Link to post Share on other sites
gaz-gell Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 ooo i like.... shame i don`t need another rifle... unless........ Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a different cocking lever to me... and the forgrip looks like it has a rake at the medial end, but I'm not sure of either of those... Link to post Share on other sites

airsofter177. Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Will it have trademarks? Link to post Share on other sites
Manners Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Looks like it was worth the wait. Do we know if there will be the sniper version, like the one used in the Bourne Identity?? Hope so.. Link to post Share on other sites
appslapp Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Now we need a RAS/RIS and a M4 stock converter....The I am in heaven Link to post Share on other sites
IronWolf Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thanks for the scoop FarEast, Here's hoping for compatibility with TM mags (however unlikely that will be). I hope they do something about that finish though... Link to post Share on other sites
Perch Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Unless I see more pictures I'm not too convinced. The pistol grip seems to be closer to the real one compared to the TM as well as the stock which is I hope at least to real spec.. The cocking lever seems to be ok. I still wait for G&G to show up with their Prototyp. I know that they try to build their Swiss Arms to real spec too because the got all the blueprints. (I know that for fact, because I know the guy who helped G&G to get them legally from Swiss Arms. There are rumors that we will see pictures of it in December and that I will be on display at a Gun-Show in the beginning of 2008. Link to post Share on other sites
InexcelsisDeo Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 cmon, when will someone make a sig550! =[ i heard JG is making one and i saw pics of it the prototype too. i hope that comes out soon, not so interested in a 551 or 552, unless like appslapp said, they make a AR/M4 stock converter, AR/M4 magwell converter, and RIS (cough sig556) Link to post Share on other sites
airsofter177. Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I think they're supposed to make the whole sig series. Link to post Share on other sites
reconNinja Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 if they are working with Sig Sauer/Arms, I'm sure there will be trademarks. The new Sig556 would be a cool addition to airsoft. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hopefully they copy the TM hopup design since its an excellent performer. Link to post Share on other sites
FarEast Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yes ICS is making the whole range, also this apart from one or two changes is 1:1 to the real 551 as SIG is working with ICS on this replica. Yes there will be trades. Link to post Share on other sites
Beliar Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Way too black. But nice to see some "serious" companies make some good rifles and not only chinese manufacturers which copy all they can. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfan9x19 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thanks FarEast! I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of the ICS 551. Speaking of which, about what is ICS looking at for a release date? Also, I assume stock velocity will be around 300 FPS? SIG=PURE WIN Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yes ICS is making the whole range, also this apart from one or two changes is 1:1 to the real 551 as SIG is working with ICS on this replica. Yes there will be trades. Hmm, is this true 1:1 dimensions? If they're using a version 3 gearbox would the real FAL style grip be able to fit a motor plus the cage? Link to post Share on other sites
Shinden Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 The one thing that I do hope for is if ICS will not put the "6mm" markings instead of "5.56". Other than that, I'm glad ICS is breaking away from the usual M4 series. All it is down to is to the gearbox's versitility and compatability with other brands. If ICS can create this as a coversion kit for other existing ver.3 gearboxes, this will be a good seller too. Link to post Share on other sites
