snorkelman Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 So what you just alluded to is the fact that we may see a newly designed gearbox that operates differently from a traditional tokyo marui box? at times like this we all need to kneel down and thank the lord that TOP have already patented the bellows system Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 at times like this we all need to kneel down and thank the lord that TOP have already patented the bellows system LOL! Link to post Share on other sites
Shinden Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I wouldn't be surprised if many other companies started to try attempt in the blowback system gearbox. Link to post Share on other sites

sniper_boi Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I just hope that rail can be taken off the front, looks fugly with it on. Other than that it looks really good. Link to post Share on other sites
TheKurodaVagrant Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I also hope someone releases a set of OD green furniture, or at least a spare set of furniture so I can paint one set OD. Mmm... Link to post Share on other sites
wo-dy Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I think one of differences between RS and ICS AEG is different shape of front part of lower foregrip. It has sharp edges and RS hasn't. And that thing for bayonet attach is a bit useless for this shortended version... Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Blackgoat Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Yeah, you're actually spotting the most striking differences between the 551 Police ("flat" handguard and no bayonet lug) and the 551 SWAT, besides the furniture colour. Other differences include the stock (quite hard to spot, and even harder to describe!) and the stamped part above the magwell (one large "groove" for the Police, two thinner ones for the SWAT) Here's a pic of a Police for comparison: Link to post Share on other sites
wo-dy Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Nope. I was talking about shape located at the front of lower half of the handguard. Look at this: http://www.tir-veyrier.ch/tir_sportif/fass..._swat_gr700.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
wo-dy Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 I've got one little question. Will it be able to carry 9,6V battery packs (shape or size doesn't matter)? Link to post Share on other sites
SigPro552 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 I'm guessing yes. I can carry a 9.6V mini in the handguard of my 552, so I don't see why one wouldn't fit in the larger foregrip of the 551. Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Blackgoat Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 wo-dy, this is an accessory lower handguard, to mount Parker-Hale type bipods. As with every SIG accessory, it is rather expensive too. Link to post Share on other sites
koolance Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 just wondering if ICS have put a due date on the 551 as its been a while the expected due date!! Link to post Share on other sites
Perch Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 People, I tell you what, ICS is not working toghether with Swiss Arms! And I bet there is some legal action between G&G and ICS going on. There IS though a prototyp of the G&G SIG 550 around. I was able to handle it and if feels very nice and sturdy. Though no pictures yet. Link to post Share on other sites

There IS though a prototyp of the G&G SIG 550 around. I was able to handle it and if feels very nice and sturdy. Though no pictures yet. Huh? What are you talking about.... Who owns licensing for Sig Arms and Swiss Arms? Cybergun. Who does ICS already deal with for trades on their AK's? Cybergun. Who does G&G deal with for licensing? Oh, thats right, they don't. G&G doesn't have anything to do with this. I can also tell you ICS has been in discussion with Cybergun about this for quite some time. Thanks for playing though. Link to post Share on other sites
Perch Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I know what I am talking about! I'm not playing Believe me! Just that G&G are to only ones who have to official blue-prints of the SIG 550. In this story not only G&G is involved, there is also a well known Swiss shop owner involved. Well as you may have read over the years, I probably mentioned way before ICS announced their SIG line that G&G is gonna make one. I will have a chat to the shop owner, if it might be possible to release some pictures. Would you then believe me? Link to post Share on other sites

I will have a chat to the shop owner, if it might be possible to release some pictures. Would you then believe me? Why do you think G&G making a Sig would have any effect on ICS? More over, why do you think a "well known Swiss shop owner" would have better, more accurate information than the manufacturer? In addition did you see me anywhere say G&G WASN'T making one? Oh, that's right, I didn't. You being able to post pictures of a G&G prototype (and why does the shop owner have it?) doesn't prove anything. Let's see, your info comes 3rd party from a random shop owner. Mine comes from the manufacturer. I can see why your information would be more accurate... Calm your passions bellend Thank you for not really reading my post. This has nothing to do with my opinion of ICS and I don't see how you got that from my post. This has to do with somebody spouting random babble, based off of assumptions, then getting defensive when questioned. I don't know if G&G is making a Sig 550, heck I really don't care. It might even be better than the ICS, once again, don't know or care. But there is zero correlation between the two. G&G's guns aren't licensed nor are they the first to make one and therefore don't have a legal leg to stand on. They have no grounds to prevent ICS from making a Sig or even pressure them. In addition, just for giggles, lets say they did have grounds. ICS could turn around and go after them (for the same non-existent legal reasons) for M4's, MP5's, and AK's since ICS "made theirs first" and they also have licensing whereas G&G does not. Hmmm, lets see who stands more to lose: ICS cancels development of a Sig, G&G cancels 50% of their product line. No airsoft manufacturer like G&G is going to risk trying to legally pressure the competition as they themselves would then be open to the exact same thing. NOW, if Perch had said G&G had exclusive rights from Cybergun that would be slightly more believable but not by much given ICS's existing relationship with Cybergun. Lastly, even IF G&G somehow managed to get Swiss Arms' licensing without going through Cybergun (unlikely) all that would mean is ICS couldn't export it. You ARE aware that ICS (or G&G) WOULDN'T be dealing with Swiss Arms', they would have to deal with the existing license holder (Cybergun)? Link to post Share on other sites
Nerfherder Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 So has anyone heard any news from any possible manufacturer for a Sig 551? Link to post Share on other sites
