Okay /k/ today we will discuss about the general consensus of the Steyr AUG.
Which types are good? which are shit?
I found a Steyr AUG A3 m1 on a site for 1750, would you consider that fair?
discuss pro cons, lets help each other decide if it will be our next gun to get.
Good enough for use by armies that don't actually shoot people.

thats the going price for a railed model.
are you left handed? This makes a huuuuuuuge difference with this gun.

show me
AUG owner here. Got mine for $1,631 last year. I don't think it's worth much more than that. My opinion is that it's a 40 year old rifle trying to fit into the tactical world despite making next to no changes to its design.It's reliable, it's reasonably accurate with ammo of less that 62 grains. 1.5 MOA. Would you be better served by an AR-15? Almost definitely.
It's too heavy for what it is, that is the biggest issue in my opinion. The trigger is acceptable for a combat weapon. It can be improved. Do I wish I had gotten a different rifle for my first 5.56? No. It arouses me like you wouldn't believe and I can shoot well with it. I love the thing, aside from it's stupid, overly heavy, solid steel receiver, and would it have killed them to put a brass deflector on it?
Ask me anything.
>>29983118
Sexiest weapon ever.
trigger allegedly sucks (being 3 stage and all)
if I were to take it to a gun fight, I'd swap it out for dead enemies AK immediately.
for personal use? every damn day.
>>29983238
Where did you get it for 1.600?
>>29983254
I got it from a site called lock and loaded but they don't have it anymore. Here it is for close to that price.

Shit, my bad, they're out of stock. Look here:

>>29983206
Sweet, then you'll probably love the gun. Easy to break down, accurate, pretty lightweight.
>>29983238
this guy has an interesting view of the word "heavy" BUT otherwise his opinions align with mine
>>29983238
Is that the A3?
How accurate is it passed 200-300m?
I tell you, for some reason the only AUG is really really love is the A1, and it's the worst version.
>>29983306
In a world of 6 pound ARs, it's heavy.
>>29983309
It is the A3. The A1 isn't worse, just with less features, and incredibly hard to find in the US.
At 300 meters it would shoot roughly five inch groups.
>>29983298
would this be it?

>>29983346
That is the A3 M1, a slightly newer variety with a shorter rail, meaning you are completely reliant on whatever optics you mount, as opposed to my setup which allows for back up irons to be mounted. That green is hot as fuck though.
>>29983367
what aug is yours? i thought you had the A3
>>29983398
I do. The one in the ad is the A3 M1, which is as I just described.

>>29983402
im confused, i thought you said you have the longer railed version?
>>29983422
I do. I have the A3. That ad is for a slightly different, newer model called the A3 M1
>>29983402
I think he's wondering what A3 you have
AUG A3 SA
AUG A3 M1
AUG A3
>>29983422
>>>29983402
There's several A3 variations.
>>29983427
where is the just the plain A3 version? I can only find the a3 m1s
>>29983432
Oh fuck gotcha, I'm used to seeing the first civilian runs of the SA called the A3.
Mine is an A3 SA. I am sorry for the confusion, not entirely sober.
>>29983118
It's a fun gun, but I have gripes
>1. Non scope models = no use out of the box
Look I don't care if they aren't great, but sights should always be on a gun. No gun should come out of the box unable to shoot
>2. Lame ass charging handle
It's like $5 fix, but why won't Steyr do it right from the factory I mean this is a 1.5k+ gun
>3. Only one source of parts
While it's great to have parts, PJ is pretty pricey.
All that being said they are fun guns and I would say if you got the dosh throw down.
>>29983443
Steyr doesn't make the plain A3 anymore, they replaced it with the A3M1.
>>29983118
this a good price?
http://grabagun.com/steyr-arms-aug-a3-m1-556n-16-30rd-blk.html
>>29983443
There might not be any on there. I would go here: http://www.pjs-steyraug.com/ And see about getting one built. I wish I had in retrospect. GOing to be shelling out $450 for a 20" barrel pretty soon.
>>29983466
>1. Non scope models = no use out of the box
Hence why I like the A1 lol
not a bad sight on it originally either.
>>29983494
It's frustrating to me that you have to drop $400 extra on a gun to use it out of the box. Though I do love the original scope. I'm seriously considering dropping 400 on one for mine.
Correct me if I'm wrong...
The model designated SA is the NATO model that uses standard AR mags, Yes?
It doesn't have a bolt release. Does it still have last-round-bolt-hold-open, just with no easy release, or does it go closed bolt on an empty mag?
>>29983519
SA NATO is the one that ships with the NATO stock that takes AR15 mags. I don't know if it has last round bolt hold open.
oh what about this place?

Look I don't care if they aren't great, but sights should always be on a gun. No gun should come out of the box unable to shoot
Would you rather have them price the gun up an extra 100 bucks or for a pair of flip up sights when most people will either remove them or replace them with the brand they like or put on a reddot/scope? Almost every single AR-15 is this way, if you wanted it to shoot out of the box you should have got the scoped model.
>2. Lame ass charging handle
It's like $5 fix, but why won't Steyr do it right from the factory I mean this is a 1.5k+ gun
Again its a cost cutting option, some might like the factory option and be fine with it, and it can always been replaced with an after market version. Its like selling an ar with expensive ass furniture if someones just going to take it off and replace it with what they want, that's why most will sell the gun with milsurp furniture that's dirt cheap.
>>29983239
How's the new call of duty?
>>29983629
Dunno don't play it.
>>29983628
Look man I'd rather the sights be built into the gun. The Tavor may have shit standard sights, but at least they're there. And the charging handle is garbage, absolute garbage and that's well known. It's a classic example of a manufacturer not fixing a serious defect. I love my AUG but Steyr needs to get their shit together.
Just spend the extra money for the factory scope. It's held on with 3 hex bolts so you could always just remove it and order the small rail section from steyr and bolt that on instead if you want different optics. Pic is my raifus.
>>29983765
I don't really see the point of a 1.5 fixed zoom optic when you can have virtually anything else with the railed section. Besides aesthetics I guess but the railed factory optics look ridiculous in my opinion.
>>29983787
They have a 3 or 4 power one too.
>>29983787
The one on my AUG is a 3x scope. The only thing I don't like about it is that the scope built into the AUG A1 had an iron sight on top of it, but for the A3M1 they put a rail on the top. The rail is cut so there's a trench down the middle and they put white sight dots on the rearmost slot as a sort of gutter sight, but the elevation dial for the scope sticks up right in the middle of it so there's no front post. It's ok I guess if you're shooting at something within 15-20 yards but other than that it's kind of useless.
The white thing in the picture is the lens cap that came on it from the factory
>>29984078
Was about to say, no front post kind of makes those sights redundant, but, having them on there is better than not especially if you need a quick "snap shot" as it were in close range.
>>29984078
One more showing the sight picture for the irons on the A3M1, with lens caps removed this time.

They're so high above the bore axis that I doubt they'd be useful even for that. You'd probably be better off just eyeballing it watching where your shots hit and walking them onto the target if they're off. That or just use the scope with both eyes open.
>>29984154

>>29984187
NZ method of gun control:
If you want to buy a new assault rifle (semi-autp), you have to hand in one assault rifle for destruction.
so what do people do?

>give gubberment shitty SKS
>buy and import SCAR
>suddenly SKS costs more than SCAR
>hand in SCAR to buy SKS
kek

Kiwi madmen
>>29984263
Only good thing about it is if there's any shit-tier rifle in the country it's dumped immediately in favor of something better.
Only teh best quality goonz for our mass-murderers.
>>29983118
I love my A1 over the other common bullpups out there. It just feels the most comfortable to me.
With the right mods and parts you can get the trigger down to a crisp 4lb, which makes it stupidly fun.
>>29984322
My jealousy is too real.
Have you found use for that quick change barrel?
I don't see a way the barrel could get hot enough running 30rd magazines to warrant that feature.. if it was belt or drum fed maybe...
>>29984331
They make 45 round mags, as seen in my post at the start of the thread. Outside of heat issues it makes it about five or six inches shorter, 4 more with a 20" barrel. Good for portability in a bag or something. I plan on having both a 16" barrel with a suppressor and a 20" without, and be able to switch them out for shits and giggles.
>>29984346
mmm nice
Would it make a good DMR?
for its caliber I mean, good scope, good barrel, you think you could get good hits out at further ranges?
>>29984346
I CC my AUG.
>>29984367
fucking ballsy
>>29984354
With light (less than 62 grain) ammo, it gets about 1.5 to 2 MOA. This means 4.5-6" groups at 300 meters. Not ideal, but not terrible. This combined with the difficulty of mounting a bipod, make it somewhat unsuitable for a marksmans role. Additionally I believe a marksmans rifle should be in .308/7.62x51
I thonk it fits the SPR role decently well though, and 5.56 out of a 20" is pretty vicious. Pushing 3000 fps with 55 grain ammo.
>>29984367
I've actually done this too.
>>29984367
>Nigger pulls gun on you

If you've already been drawn on, a gun won't help regardless unless you're Vincent from collateral.
>>29984404
Not American but I thought that was the whole point of CC, was to defend yourself from bad guys with guns
>>29984423
If you have already been targeted and you are still holstered, your gun can only escalate the situation. A gun is only useful when it can de-escalate the situation.
>>29984254
Do you have a source for this "gotta hand one in" stuff? Sounds like bullshit to me, you just need your e cat license to buy MSSAs as far as I'm aware.
>>29984160
god women are so weak
look at that fucking lean
even with a rifle where all the weight is at the back
she still feels the need to place the mass over her center of gravity because her arms can't bear any weight.
2/10 would not bang
>>29984498
Yes, you need the MSSA license, but in addition to it, in order to buy (or import?) any more than 1 MSSA rifle, you must hand in another, it's done to keep a cap on the amount of weapons in the country.

The quick change barrels are so that you can easily convert it from an assault rifle to a carbine, to an LMG, to an SMG(uses a magwell adapter and TMP mags). Steyr does classify the AUG as a weapon system afterall.
>>29983193
AUGs ans most bullpups these days can have an ambi ejection port.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV2xx_r07L4
Only bongs are retarded enough to keep their service rifle right handed only because reasons and because left corners are unheard of in UK.
The AUG is awesome, wish I waited till the A3M1 came out (or could justify the price of an A1)

The Irish, Aussies and Kiwis all used it operationally in the Ghan.
>>29984659
>used it operationally
Australians refused to serve with the A1 Steyr so they created the AUSTEYR variant.
NZ army just replaced the Steyr A1 with the LMT platform (8,600 units ordered off the shelf)
NZ Army soldiers don't like it either, will never catch 1NZSAS using a Steyr, they opt for ARs.

Yeah, now it's just decent.
>>29984331
It actually does get quite hot after 2 or 3 42rd mag dumps. I don't actually need to quick change barrel for any real reason, but it does help to remove the barrel and let it cool off faster for storage or transport.

So what, people convert non-MSSA rifles like Norinco SKSes to MSSA configuration (e.g. weld on a cheap flash hider, etc), then swap them so they can import something else? Clever.
>this video is unavailable
Pretty sure he took down all his videos, a shame, he has an amazing collection if I recall.
>>29984897
Yeah, I think what was going on was people would buy old as shit weapons that they could get dirt cheap for like $150 and they'd hand those over and then import something like an AR-15, sell it for profit here and buy another cheap shit gun, hand it over and import a new one.
then of course you run out of shitty cheap guns and have to start handing in better shit, that's why it was good when the NZ Army dumped all their SLRs on the market, could buy em up cheap and people just collected a lot of them un-fired.
sadly hard to find now.

Ah so it wasn't just me then, yeah none of his stuff is up, had so much there too.
