 SIG 550 Information
The SIG 550 won the competition in 1983 and was renamed the Sturmgewehr 90 in German ("Stgw 90") and F ass 90 (for Fusil d'assaut) in French among the Swiss Army service.
The Gw Pat.90 ammunition is however optimized for the SIG 550's rifling twist rate of 1 in 10 as opposed to the 1 in 7 for which the 5.56 NATO calibre is optimised and as such provides better performance in the SIG 550.

 Sig 550
The 550 comes with a folding bi-pod, which can be swung to the sides to be useful also when employed on uneven ground.
This is because the G3 stock is longer and the magazine is located further to the front of the gun, causing you to hold the whole gun further away from your body and on straighter arms.
It also means that the Sig gains quite a lot of barrel lenght, eventhough the G3 has a longer overal lenght.

 ArniesAirsoft - Review Archive - SIG 552 SEALS - Powered by ReviewPost
SIG 55x series: I'll start this review off with a little bit of SIG history as the 55x series is not very well known here in the U.S. The SIG 552 is based on the Sturmgewehr 550 rifle designed by Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft as a 5.56mm replacement for the aging Stgw57.
The SIG 550 was considered a great feat of engineering because the majority of the Swiss population take shooting sports very seriously and the 5.56mm round was considered useless after 200m.
SIG 552: So after a while, the SIG 550 gains popularity and is still considered the most accurate standard service rifle (without modifications) in the world.

I've shot the 550/552 SIG rifles, and they are absolutely awesome — comfortable (even in the full-auto snubby guise), much more accurate than me and designed with the ergonomics the Swiss are famous for.
First, Sig 556 is reletively new, so almost no one outside of the Sig manufacture has shot the thing long enough to find out the pros and cons of the new weapon.
These 4 models are aviable; SIG 550 (normal swiss army rifle, got 1 @home), SIG 551, SIG 552 Commando and the SIG 550 Sniper.

 Team Airsoft's Offical Website - It's not just a league, it's a lifestyle!
The SIG 551 is a shorter version of the SIG 550.
The SIG is the only airsoft gun with the 3-round burst option, this can also be changed to a 2-8 round burst.
If you have two or more mags attached together, and you have an empty attached on the right of the one in the gun, you cannot fold the stock, this can be a problem in CQB games but I found it best to carry the mags normally in those situatiuons.

It was developed as a competitor for the Swiss Army assault rifle contest of 1979 to 1980 and was derived from the previous SIG 540 and SIG 541 models.
The SIG 550 won the competition in 1983 and was renamed the Sturmgewehr 90 in German ("Stgw 90") and F ass 90 (for Fusil d'assaut) in French among the Swiss Army service.

 The STG.90 Page
The SIG SG 540 dispensed with the complex roller lock action, and instead used the simpler, yet robust rotating bolt action made famous by the AK series of rifles.
In addition to a standard length rifle, the Swiss also required a shortened rifle for the use of the "Headquarters Staff." The SIG 551 is mechanically identical to the Stg.90, except for it's shorter length and omission of the bayonet.
The SG 550 Sniper Rifle lacks the selective fire capability of the Stg.90, but is equipped with a refined two stage trigger.

 The Sig 550   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Although the 550 may not be in use with many countries other than Switzerland, it is simply a result of price.
The amazing attention to detail and craftsmanship present on the SIG can't be matched by any other modern military firearm which is why relative to other rifles available, the cost is much higher.
This is not to say that the others are "bad" guns, but the SIG just has this feel to it that makes you want to keep shooting.

SIG rifle is designed to this: Thousands and thousands of shots during 30 year period without professional maintenance or gunsmithing.
Don't forget that SIGs rust, 1911s jam, USPs break firing pins, Delta Elites crack their frames, Glocks explode like cheap firecrackers, and Berettas break their locking blocks right before putting the back half of the slide through your bridgework.
IIRC the 550 and 551 were imported in small numbers pre-ban.

 Sig 550/551/552 - Calguns.net
The SIG 55X line of guns is commonly refered to as the ultimate AK refinement, since that is what they are based on.
However, they are made in Europe by Swiss Arms (not SIG Sauer) and are subject to the 1989 federal sporting importation ban, so you rarely see them for sale and when you do, they are easily several thousands of dollars.
Internet rumors indicate SIG Sauer wants badly to market a variant produced in the Exeter, NH plant (thus bypassing import laws) but Swiss Arms is very reluctant to allow them to do so.
