Looking forward to making all my M4 friends fear the Swiss!

Roko, thanks for taking a half hour to write up some help for me... What are the 43rd magazines? I know the mags link up but 43 linked... together? Explain a little.
These are the 43rd magazines.

They definitely make the 100rd look like crap (the 100rd mags do not have fake rounds in them), but the problem lies that this is a restricted item, so in other words don't try to import it them yourself, it will most likely be seized at customs. If you want to order a couple 43rd SiG Series magazines, I believe you can custom-order them from http:\\www.airsoftparts.ca easily.

Saying these are hard to find is a vast understatement. The G36 and P90 are a dime a dozen, and while we're on the topic of guns with mags that have fake rounds in them, the AUG as well. The SiG on the other hand (550/551/552) isn't as popular, and as a result, less people have the mags for it, even the 100rd magazines. But, rest assured, if you do manage to purchase some 43rd magazines, they are head turners. The SiG series 43rd mags are very clear, and you can see the fake rounds very well, where-as the G36, P90, and AUG all seem to have quite a bit of tint to them. However if you plan to paint your gun to match a certain camo, I'd say just ge tthe 100rd mags. They're cheaper by the pack, and you can also paint them to make your gun. I wouldn't recommend the 43rd mags with a camo-painted gun. It just didn't look right to me. Also, they're a pretty penny. Last time I got a quote from AirsoftParts, it was going to cost me roughly $240.00 for 4 43rd mags. I guess it depends how much you want them.

Also to answer your question, the Cybergun SiG 552 is a rebrand of a JG SiG 552. The JG is of higher quality, but most of the really expensive upgrades, or just the more expensive upgrades, are still going to be required regardless of model. Personally, since you already have the Cybergun SiG 552, I'd just stick with that and upgrade it. If you end up fully upgrading it, it won't matter which company made it.
