Horrible iphone pic, but I got something new...

[bryanZ06]

Steyr AUG A3

I haven't made it to the range yet, but that will be taken care of tomorrow. Overall this thing feels like it is very solid. I'll get a range report posted asap.

my dream gun.....I am so jealous

Nice toy!!!

 

[Badger Arms]

Great piece of engineering. Ergonomically, how fast can you change your magazine?

 

[woodfiend]

Yeah!

 

[Shootin7.62Russian]

That is some serious engineering you have there! Nice! Looking forward to the range report.

 

[bryanZ06]

Magazine changes don't seem to be too bad. It's not as fast as my AR or HK, but it's a lot easier than I anticipated it to be.

God I wish I could own one of those I live in California but that has to be my faovirte semi auto battle rifle next to the m14!!!

 

[P.B.Walsh]

I thought they (AUG) was an "Assault Rifle", not a "Battle Rifle", please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Coronach]

"battle rifle" is a made-up term with no "official" definition, but the unofficial/errornet definition seems to be a semi-auto rifle chambered in a full-power rifle caliber, eg 7.62 NATO. As such, his AUG would not be an assault rifle (as it is semi-auto, I assume), and not a battle rifle, either (as 5.56 is an intermediate cartridge). However, it would probably meet the legal defintion of "assault weapon".

Is that a real AUG or one of the new ones?

 

[P.B.Walsh]

The legal definition of an "assault rifle" is a pistol grip.... so ya know it's a load of s**t...

It's a new Steyr AUG that's made here to bypass all the bs ATF import regulations.

I thought the new ones were made under license by a different company under a different name.

How's the trigger pull?

 

[yeti]

AUGs kinda freak out the AK guys. You have got to love a rifle with a face like that.

No. The legal definition of an assault weapon involves pistol grips. The military definition of an assault rifle is a select-fire rifle chambered in an intermediate caliber.

I'm jealous! I want it!!!

There are AUG clones made by MSAR and TPD, but this is a Steyr branded gun. They are made here by Sabre Defence for Steyr.

I got it for just under $2k.

 

[stubbicatt]

Anybody make one of those which does not use proprietary magazines? Perhaps uses the old standby AR15 mags?

 

[P.B.Walsh]

I know Coronach, let's not get off subject.
