I think NSG is an overrated force like Marcos, Garud. All are yet to prove themselves. It could be due to lack of opportunity but NSG's performance, specially bomb disposal was quite dismal during Pathankot attack.
Only SF that have proved again and again is Para SF.

NSG has proven themselves whenever called upon, 26/11 and Pathankot are perfect examples, they ended both operations and restored order.

Fact is NSG are in every corner of India and working tirelessly to protect the citizens of India 24/7 but they receive no attention or praise for this work nor do they seek it. In recent years their operational tempo has increased dramatically to the point they have to cancel their own raising day celebrations because so many teams are foreward deployed.

NSG should at least upgrade to the SIG-556 or just ditch the SIG family once and for all, these 550/2/3 are starting to look pretty outdated.

Just reading that the parent SIG as in 2017 has discontinued the 550 family from its product line. .... (opps). What do you suggest?

I don't think SIG will discontinue the entire line, the 550 is an old design so naturally they will phase it out but the 556 is a relatively modern design and they will likely produce new derivatives in the future also.

@GuardianRED SIG-556 with Gujarat Police special response team (Chetak):

But for NSG I would like some more extensive customisations:

Agree, surely they will soon upgrade to the new model - of which, (looking at their Site). The SiG 716 is Mean!

Looks excellent indeed...why didn't I notice this before??

That too in 308! Can be easily converted to DMR which means it can also replace the SG550-1.

Sorry for going off-topic but I wanted to clear up some mis-understandings regarding 516/716, 550/750 and 556 etc.

The 516, 716, 556 and MCX are all from the SIG Sauer Inc based at Exeter, New Hampshire, USA and not Swiss Made. The 556 is basically an 'Americanised' 551, it's also not of the same Swiss quality.

The 551SB/LB, 553SB/LB and 751 series however are thoroughbred Swiss, manufactured by SIG Sauer GmbH's Swiss subsidiary Swiss Arms AG. There are no plans to discontinue the SG551/553/751 line as of now.
