>A1 steyr AUGs are now $3000+ for a rattly example
AHHHHHHHHH I'LL NEVER OWN ONE. anons with A1 augs I hate you all

>>63910972 (OP)
A1 with Elcan scopes because original A1 scope sucks

>>63910998
if I wanted a GOOD rifle I'd get an AR, I want an AUG because AUG

>>63910972 (OP)
???????????????????????

>>63910972 (OP)
As someone with a bunch of different ARs, and and AUG A3 M1, the AUG A3 M1 is the first "other" rifle you should get when you have a bunch of different ARs. It's not better, but it's different in a good way, and it still reliably slings lead where you want it, accurately.

Finally an AUG thread. Planning to buy an A3M2 perhaps later this year. Is buying thr standard version really worth it? Also how do I even tell the difference? Some i see online dont state if they're NATO or not

>>63910972 (OP)
>less than $750
>full auto A1
Love being a european

>>63910972 (OP)
The AUG fascinates me in that it has evolved so damn little until recently. from A1 to A3 you only really have new optic and rails and from then on some new components and caliber conversions but the stock, barrels, even the front grip just stay the same forever and you can always know and AUG.

Meanwhile they tried shit like the HBAR and 9mm versions which are wacky but far less useful than other options, and wont try modern features like a bolt release or triggers that dont suck donkey dick.

>>63910972 (OP)
>$300 for a parts kit
>AR-15 barrel
Skill issue

>>63911069
AUG is far better than an AR always was and always will be.

>>63911764
czech ? how the fuck can you own full auto guns in there ? is it like switzerland ?

>>63911178
it's not an A1. I want a stock w/o bolt release. I want properly colored trigger, buttpad, and barrel release nub. I want an integrated optic.

>>63911069
Most rational AUG enjoyer

as an austrian having to pay 2500€ upwards for an AUG
fuck them, there is a reason most go the AR way

Steyr isn't austrian owned anyway, so that's gone too
(but I still want one)

>>63912131
this would also be acceptable to me. I just hate the bolt release stock & incorrect colors...

Should I get an Aug, Famas, or Scar?

>>63912180
those all sort of suck

>>63912185
And?

>>63912195
buy a new washing machine instead

Aug 101:
Child of universal service rifle program, heavy, but weight is rearwards, works well with ugl

Turned out to be very armoury friendly, polymer was hard to damage, damage to it rarely rendered rifle inoperable. In the 2000s the quick barrel change in COIN was hugely valuable. We never had to adopt aneimic barrel lengths. But it was heavy.

Original optics considered poor by today's standards but never forget, that also made us very early adopters of optics on service rifles. And pretty quickly it was upgraded to picatiny.

Other interesting things, early adoption of pistol foregrip, use of fire grip as monopod. That paid off very quickly and it's very hard to do that with ARs because of the magazine length when prone.

It also got upgraded to have a silent cocking feature and works with .300BLK, armoury wise, that paid off too. The 9mm was never any use, don't think it was even used for training.

It was a shit load better then the L1A1, and the French hate the famas. It's better than people think but it was a wild choice.

>>63912772
>it's very hard to do that with ARs because of the magazine length when prone.
You monopod off the magazine

>>63910972 (OP)
I don't care if they are shit, still my fav only because it looks cool.

>>63912793
And you wonder why none of your magazines work and armoury costs are so high.

>>63912800
For u.
Steyr AIWS, our answer to SPIW. It's 40mm grenades stacked on top of each other in the same barrel, on top of the regular barrel.

Significantly more compact than other designs, still totally ridiculous and Bourne entirely out of the fear of a starship trooper battle against a billion screaming Chinese. Genuinely that was the plan, repel wave attacks with MGL and frags

just made a thread about valgear with his latest review on the AUG
>>63912820

>>63912178
something like this? Looks all A1 but with a rail exactly as you described

>>63912829
Also, you can shoot it wrong-handed without getting any brass in your face.

>>63912836
The new ones, at least the new Australian ones are austeyr f90.
Not many changes, quiet a bit lighter at 3.2kg, better IR/NV rails.
The grenade launcher got the thumbs down though, pull ring trigger, not good with 40mm recoil, likely to break, likely to get snagged. And the trigger being in the grip housing significantly increases the chance of some penut firing it shouldred at some raghead two metres in front of him. Which could potentially be really funny, but could also foreseeably blow up a bunch of our guys

>>63912908
yep

>>63912854
Yea we do a bit of the silly side shooting, stery sees a fair bit of cqb actually because a lot of guys used that quick change to get para barrels. Australians did more than our fair share of door kicking in the sandbox.

Anyone who says they want to move to AR, assume they shot dogs. Swear to God, ask them.

>>63912100
Category A guns are banned but allowed with a police exception. But here's the neat trick. Police can't evaluate the justification you've put on the form at all, as long as it's not something retarded like "gimme, I wanna", they auto-grant it.
And "collecting" is a valid justification.

>>63912939
That is if you have the collector's type license. Out of 5 possible, being collecting, self-defense, employment, hunting and sport. Most people get 4 out of 5, cops/bodyguards get 5/5 as employment one requires actual employment that needs a gun.

>>63912955
You guys outta get rid of that retarded ass license system

>>63912852
The laser button scarpa taped onto the rifle is kinda funny

>>63912852
yeah. although I would swap the rail for a short one.

>>63913003
Why? If you can't spend two hours preparing and learning your rights and then doing some light shooting, you don't deserve a gun.

>>63913128
It's a license to own guns what do you mean why nigga

>>63913136
Americans don't get to lecture anyone about this anymore.

>>63912836
oh noooo augsisters

>>63913153
???

hmm in my quest for an A1 ish gun, what about using the 9mm stock but for 556? Does it have a bolt release on the left side (the one sold by steyr USA)? I've seen photos of both types...

>>63913153
I can walk into my nearest Walmart and leave with a glock in under 40 minutes, you have to beg your police and show them why you "need" a gun

>>63913202
Post your full auto, faggot.

>>63913211
You first larper

>>63913195
looks like the answer is yes, fuck

>>63913113
Could be hard to get decent eye relief if you pushed the rail too far forward though, no?

>>63912939
You cannot buy A (full autos) at all, only A-1(full autos changed to semi-auto). Or show me how czech anon. The AUG example is clearly A, though you can buy semi for similar money.

>>63912131
mental illness

>>63913897
no? I want something that looks exactly like an A1. This is /k/, we have people shelling out thousands for like one specific shade of green geissele parts to make them clone-correct. I just want an 80s AUG, is all.

>>63910972 (OP)
In the same boat. You're basically just going to have to accept the cope. A true preban is peak, but they're so expensive I'd feel bad even shooting it. Not to mention that if you damage the glass, your whole receiver is basically unusable.
Buy the STG77 and maybe see if PJ (assuming he's still alive/in business) has a spare SA stock you can buy

you will never be as cool as this dude duel-wielding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub0edk8Fu3I

>>63914674
the glass can be swapped out. I think new-production 1,5x tubes can just drop in.

>>63914715
>the glass can be swapped out. I think new-production 1,5x tubes can just drop in.
Assuming you actually can just swap the tube out from a new production, that's still a replacement that is worth 25% of the gun itself.

>>63914751
could always get a Special Receiver A1

>>63914787
lol good luck finding one for under 4k

>>63914843
I sold mine for $4k funnily enough

>>63914674
Bro is the green trigger peak for you? They're literally selling the same thing rn there's no cope

>>63912131
why bother, cunts like you never even shoot your AUGs

>>63914904
? What ?

>>63914885
it's not the same. if you waltz into a retro AR thread and say 'check out my retro AR' when it has some magpul grip on it and orange anodizing you'd be laughed at

>>63914911
Where are you seeing a magpul grip on new STG77 ?

>>63914924
exactly. so why should a purportedly stg77 lookalike model of the AUG have the wrong colored parts? and the wrong stock mold?

>>63914907
you heard me. niggers that are all "my gun has to be an absolutely correct replica of some shit that was made 40 years ago!! (never mind that he's getting some semi-auto facsimile)" never actually shoot their guns beyond a box or two ever. they're afraid of them getting scratched or dirty or worn.

>>63914933
well yeah. there are 420,000,000 firearms in the US. If you think it's verboten that some aren't rolled around in dirt every day you're actually retarded.

>>63914926
Wrong stock mold? It's literally the same green stock from 70s unchanged in any way. Even has the same grain.

>>63914964
it has the bolt release as I have mentioned earlier. so yes mold might be the wrong term to use, they drill out a bit of it.

Can you put the new 1.5 scope with rails on this thing or nah?

>>63914969
>
yes, you mean the pickle? yeah it will go on the M1 receiver. the M2 works too, but you need a fucking UGLY little adapter at the front.

God I love the AUG

>>63915019
boobs are too big

The best prone unsupported 5 round group I shot at 100 meters in the ADF was with an Aus Steyr A2. The ones with the tan cerakote and removable donut sight on a pic rail. The group was 27mm. I think alot of people don't realise how accurate they can be when new.

>>63915040
*prone supported position, magazine resting on ground and hand on the ground under the vertical grid.

can the rods in the stock be replaced by the end user? can the springs in the carrier be replaced by the end user?

Is the AUG worth getting in California?

>>63915078
use the money for a u-haul

>>63915019
fit and finish feels like holding a bucket of garden tools but it's my favorite

>>63914949
that 420M number is from 20 years ago, my retard. I think tards like OP are just strange.

>>63915168
A pressure washer is not a garden tool. Do not the plants.

is it possible to convert an aug into 338?

>>63910972 (OP)
Is the Steyr Aug A3 SA good?

>>63915062
In theory, probably, but in practice no—those are parts that you replace the whole subassembly when they wear out someday. I say "someday" since the BFV guy has never mentioned repairing or replacing them on the full-auto AUGs his range has millions of rounds on, so they're probably not worth worrying about.

>>63911069
Bullpups are always better

>>63915766
Why is the rail so tall?

>>63915784
Because your jowls prevent (you) from getting a lower cheek rest

>3x sf scope
>red dot
>sling
>super safety
What else should I get? I’ve heard the trigger is not so great on these. And what barrel length?

https://youtu.be/0PwCyjhm0V4?si=fAvhTa1supKw2nzM&t=986

>>63911178
NOT. GOOD. ENOUGH.

Especially when PSA is offering AR-15s with 60 round mags for $350.

>>63916978
Here's proof of that claim, by the way.

>>63916820
>I’ve heard the trigger is not so great on these.
lucky for me I don't know what a good trigger is supposed to be like

>>63916820
>What else should I get?
Hbar and 45 round mags
>>63917030
Kek same

>>63917030
>>63917345
You guys are memeing. Bullpup triggers are bad. The default, plastic AUG trigger sucks, but you can get metal ones that are as good as a 1911 trigger.

>>63910972 (OP)
I'm sorry you feel that way

>>63917384
The AUG's trigger feels like a really good Nerf gun trigger because it's a plastic trigger shoe pushing a plastic sear out of the way of a plastic hammer, but you can adjust all the takeup out of it with common hand tools and the reduced power trigger springs exist.
A bad trigger gets in the way of doing the shooting tasks that you need to do, and the AUG's objectively doesn't.

>>63917738
when did they add on the ugly embossed text on the ejection port cover? I like those smooth ones better

>>63914674
250 on gunbroker

>>63914973
ugly adapter pictured here

>>63920063
how does it look on the rifle tho?

…why do you want an a1?

>>63920492
Die Hard.

call me when it's on sale, that price is freaky

>>63920492
Looks cool

>>63919438
How do you like the short vudu on there friend? I've considered picking one up.

>>63920493
>>63920585
But why not get an a3

>>63921074
It's nice, I got it for like $800. Very good glass and bright reticle

>>63921344
I was raised by counter-strike Source

>>63921344
Why not both?

too expensive

>>63910972 (OP)
You could get a justasgood “Stg.77” but then you’d have to deal with the incorrect trigger color and shit.

>>63920493
Exactly why I bought one.
