Very cool. I really like that og scope. Just completes the vibe in my opinion.
Being a kid of the 80’s, I’ve decided I need to add an AUG to my bullpup collection. Thankfully, these can be converted to left hand eject. How’s the accuracy in yours? I’ve read a trigger job is a must on these and do wonders

I have not fired it yet. So no accuracy report at this time.

The trigger was upgraded before delivery. It is smoother than stock. This is the mod:

Congrats on making it work for you (and Commiefornia)! Love my AUG. The trigger mod helped a lot. Took me a long time to find the gas valve I needed to properly use a suppressor.

 

Do the newer ones not come with an adjustable gas port with a suppressor setting?

 

There's a few youtube videos out there of guys screwing up their guns using suppressors without the suppressor specific gas plug.

 

This is such a terrible thread.

I've been itching to buy either an X95 or an AUG. I finally came to my senses, and let go of the idea. And now I'm thinking about buying an AUG or X95 again. Damn you

 

That’s what we’re here for. Helping addicts be better addicts. I recently got a Tavor 7 and have really liked it. Bullpups are just a cool and very different package

 

The standard AUG is the one to get.
When I got mine, I could only find a NATO model. I eventually bought a standard stock and trigger pack. Speaking of the pack, the Steyr spring kit us the way to go, IMO. I have s 20/20 sear in a trigger pack, while it is a lower felt weight than stock, I think it’s mushy. The spring kit keeps the crisp break….if there is such a thing with the AUG

 

That’s an awesome AUG. I think I’m gonna order the green one too and pair it with an ACOG. Pretty much the same setup as you. Would be fun to bust a few hogs with it

 

Forgot, buy spare parts, they are getting harder to find

 

Welp, green AUG inbound. Darn this thread

 

20” barrels are available as well. Bought one about six months ago, haven’t ever shot it though.

 

The things we have to do here in a ban state to own a semi-auto rifle with detachable magazines and other features (flash hider, pistol grip, thumbhole stock, collapsible stock over all length of 30" etc.)

I sold my STG77 40th anniversary edition here on this forum before i moved back to CA (family reason). I should have figured out a way to keep it.

Enter the A3 with extended rail as my new AUG. I bought it from Candu Rat Worx and they were gracious enough to take off the flash hider and install an extended muzzlebrake to get over the 30" OAL requirement for CA compliance. I then had to procure a fin grip to allow the use of detachable mags.

At first i added a Vortex Sparc Solar and 3x magnifier and it looked great. However, one of our forum members posted a Steyr 1.5 optic that were on the original AUGs. I bought it and installed it to make it as close to possible to an original AUG.

How do you like the optic?
I would love to try one.

 

The original is aka 'Donut of death'. I like it. The 1.5 optic is hard to come by. The 3.5 version is readily available and is a better option I believe. I just wanted to stay with the original look.

 

Can they mount to the A3-M1 rail?

 

I removed extended rail (3 screws) and replaced with the optic. Just need to partially disassemble the AUG.

 

Anyone know the "takedown" length of an AUG? If you pull the barrel, is the max dimension less than 20"?

I the know AUG wasn't designed as a takedown rifle. But given how easy it is to pull the barrel, I'm wondering if this is a platform that could be disassembled to fit neatly into a backpack.

 

On mine from rail end to end of stock pad it measured about 21.5".

 

I absolutely love my AUG. Took it out and had our church group shoot it at a small group shoot and everyone came away with wanting one. So well balanced that it makes it an easy point and shoot with quick follow ups. Even for novice shooters it was very apparent. Everyone came away with wanting one.

 

What kind of accuracy do you get out of yours?

I hear that the X95 Tavor is 3 to 4 moa. Is the AUG any better?

 

I love my original black AUG as well. In fact, at the risk of a mob coming after me, I much prefer it over an AR.

My only problem is that I will never be able to sell it if I wanted too. I bought it at the very peak of the Clinton AWB. You can easily buy 2 AUG’s and then some for what I paid.

 

In fact, at the risk of a mob coming after me, I much prefer it over an AR.

Only thing that keeps me from agreeing with this statement is the trigger. I'm too much of a trigger snob to let that go...

If I could have a Geissele SSA-E in the AUG, then it would be absolutely perfect.

Ratworx had an AR trigger pack some time ago, and I passed on the overpriced GunBroker offerings... Never got to test one of those out.

 

I figure I’ll put a ACOG or Primary Arms LPVO on it when I arrives today. Both scopes have 556 reticle options.

 

The Steyr spring upgrade set makes a world of difference

 

Went in to pick up my AUG, came out heavy handed . Already got the AUG set up for left hand eject and swapped out the factory piston for the suppressor piston. Gonna do a trigger job to it today, Considering getting an Arid metal trigger and safety but have been reading about issues with the fit of them. Anyone here try them?

 

Prior to getting my AUG I had all sorts of plans for trigger upgrades. After what I had read I was prepared to experience the worlds worst trigger.

As soon as I received it, I checked the chamber and dry fired it........OH MY GOD.....wait, what....That was actually pretty good. I compared it against several AR15's with mil-std triggers I had on hand, and it was substantially better than any of them. It wasn't as good as the aftermarket triggers I have, but it was not the disaster I had read about.

After reading about problems with much of the aftermarket AUG triggers, I decided to go with reliability. Leaving mine factory.

 

The Steyr trigger pack spring upgrade is the best mod available for the money

 

Just got my springs.

Use them in conjunction with the Ratworx 20/20 sear, or put the stock sear back in?

 

I used them in an unmodified trigger pack. I put them in a standard trigger pack. The 20/20 I have is installed in the NATO trigger pack. I’m not currently using that stock


when you reinstall the hammer in the trigger pack, the hammer spring ends will be upward. There is a ledge in the pack that these spring ends need to be retained under. I modified a small screwdriver with a Dremel slot that allows the screwdriver to capture the spring end, allowing you to manipulate the end into place. there is one in the room and I did not care tomorrow but the spring or the housing.

 

The video is fairly well done. The spring deal is at about 3:50

 

#1. OP, I feel sorry for you. Living in a non-free state must suck.
#2. OP, You can buy a 20 inch AUG barrel.

On other topics, I have AUG and Tavor SAR. I need more range time.
I like the Tavor for mag changes and the trigger isn't bad. But mine patterns, it doesn't group.
I like the AUG, but the trigger is ridiculously heavy. I now know the fixes.

Anyone have a Des. Tech. bullpup? It may be the best solution for me vs. trying to get the Tavor or the AUG up to SHTF standards.

I have both the .556 and .308 MDRX (as well as AUG, VHS2 and Tavor 7)
The Desert Tech guns that I have both have very good triggers and group well. The DT also has aftermarket trigger pack options if you want to take that route. I think for accuracy, your best bet is either the DT or VHS2 (Springfield Hellion)

 

 

Always thought these were an interesting gun.
