I love the steyr AUG, one of my first 5.56 rifles.

The Steyr AUG is my favorite rifle. Always gets an audience at the range.

The Ratworx aluminum sear makes a ton of difference in trigger feel. It's still heavy, but it's no longer as sloppy. It's only $99 and hasn't caused me a single issue.

But still for some reason the aug speaks to me and I need one so bad

Ordered mine last week and it’s almost here. Can’t wait to pick it up!

Regarding the trigger, it's not good by any means, but it's a whole lot better than the internet horror stories would have you believe. I'd compare it to a rather heavy Mil-Spec AR trigger, like a BCM LPK trigger. The weight is heavy, but it's not super gritty or anything.

I'm so close to being able to buy one after waiting these past 2-3 years, I can't wait to finally get it. I remember call of duty black ops and battlefield 3 won me over when I was still a kid when I used this rifle in those games. Been in love with it ever since.

I could not agree more on using the mags a gun is designed for. The Nato AUGs look ok but I'd still get a normal style if I bought one. I have regularly bitched about the ugliness of AK's that have STANAG adapters. One of the neat things about AK's is the rock 'n lock mags. I posted a request on the Patreon page a couple of weeks ago about your favorite 5.56 AK's and/or covering military/police used 5.56 AKM / 74 style rifles excluding the not quite AK's such as Valmets and Galils. But it's only been 2 weeks, I have faith you will get to it in due time.

Yep, the $5 videos take a couple months....at least. That's usually about how much of a backlog we have here.

not gonna lie, I was on the fence about trading my x95 for an aug this weekend. And your comment about these being released in small batches really sold me. I can find x95s around me and if I want I can buy another. But I've never seen a new aug for sale around me. LGS even took down the AUG listings on their websites. Made me realize online or used was my only option and I'm not paying overpriced gun broker prices.

Just wanted to say thank you to you Misha and Jay for the content you guy's provide love your Video's.

Just watched 9 Hole Review on this. They were quite impressed considering it's age.👍

I also got mine in 2013; although, I paid $2300 for it because of the panic at the time. Mine had a bad bolt and bad picatinny rail, so it had to go back to the factory: it had failures to eject that caused the bolt to go forward with the empty brass stuck in the extractor, also causing the brass throat to chip the stock. The gunsmith only measured the rail instead of trying to put an accessory on it, so I had to pay separate shipping to send the rail back for a new one when I verified it was indeed still out of spec. Ammo was very hard to come by at the time, so testing it for reliability was a pain. So mine had a bumpy start. BUT after the factory gave me a new bolt, stock, and rail, I have not had any issues with it. When the 9mm conversion kits came in, I was being stingy and didn't buy one, thinking they'd always be there, which I kick myself for now. I still need to find a good optic for it. I currently have a surplus Elcan M145 on it, which looks cool, but is heavy as hell and does not illuminate as it should.

Aug instant modern classic on its own. Hope you're holding up good Mishap we love you!

You talking about H&K hating us American gun owners made me think of the FAMAS. Man I would sell a testicle to get to own an A1 FAMAS, just so cool. We always want what we can't have. Hopefully with the French supposedly switching to the H&K 416, maybe just maybe we can get some FAMAS parts kits over here. That would be so awesome.

@killerratchet1973

I'd prefer to get the G2 FAMAS somehow to be honest. The F1 model of the FAMAS is very dated with 25 round proprietary mags, 1/12 rifling, rumors of it preferring steel as opposed to brass cased etc. It would've been nice if the rifle was still around and being made and seeing how much more it would've evolved as well, but sadly the manufacturer went out of business 20 years ago.

Took my Aug nato out on its 1st range trip. Very impressed. Ran wolf 55gr steel on both gas settings. Recoil is a mild push.

The full Geissele trigger pack and lighting bow on the Tavor is the best trigger of all bullpup’s and is even better than most non bullpup’s

The best reason to get the RDB over other commercially available bullpups (other than the price, which frankly is fantastic if you can find one for sale, and the rifle's neat downward case ejection system) is the trigger. It's a really really decent trigger by any metric, not just "for a bullpup."

Question , I just bought the a3 m1 and am planning to run a suppressor …… 1:can the built in flash hider on this be just unscrewed and replaced with a 1:28 adapter from the 13:1 metric in order to run a suppressor or would a gunsmith be required for that 2:would the metal sear upgrade be a diy situation or would a gunsmith be required I figured since you had yours you might have already researched these questions or you might just know Thanks for your time

You really need the corvus defensio kit!

Great video Misha thanks. I'm not really a bullpup guy but I enjoy watching a master at work.

Makes sense to buy the non-NATO version! Thanks Misha..always great vids

I don't know about all that modular stuff. I'm sure it's practical for people who need/want it, but only the classic A1 looks like "a true AUG" to me. What can I say, esthetics play a big part in whether I like a gun or not. Tried an A3 a few weeks ago, and when you're used to the orginal charging handle, that folding "more ergonomic"... thing just feels weird and flimsy. But that's just my opinion.

@misha5670

The AUG was designed from the beginning to be modular. To the Austrians, the scope being part of the receiver casting wasn't an issue since they could easily replace or swap it out for a new/different one later. It is an issue for us though since in the USA that is the serialized part, the 'firearm' part of the gun. So we're stuck with that one part pretty much forever. This is when i think being able to replace or remove the optic becomes a nice option to have. Personally? I like the AUG A2 the most, but originals of those are rather rare in the US today.

@@misha5670 While still not cheap, parts are everywhere here in Austria. Yet the A1 is also something like a collectible and can be hard to find. I've seen prices up to around 5k (new ones are around 3k). Then again, nobody really wants an A1, 'cause it's the standard military issue that _everybody_ had during army training. Guess a bit too standard for most people, and therefore boring. XD

I hope these will still be available when I move out of California. There are some good options such as the shell deflector. A company tried to make a better trigger system, but for some reason it was never approved for sale, maybe it failed the drop test, or lawyers stopped the sale. I don't know.

The price discrepancy hasn't been true recently. Standard AUG has been impossible to find and NATO version is available everywhere. My thoughts are: you can always buy a NATO stock and convert it, but standard AUG stocks and trigger packs are much harder to find.

I bought a standard I want the bolt release plus I got this gun specifically to be not an AR plus I feel like they will be more valuable if we stop getting Austrian made ones.

Mine has had no issues with steel-cased ammo, including no issues with LRBHO. Mine does us STANAG mags however, so maybe that's a factor. Mine also runs just fine with steel-cased ammo on the standard gas setting.

@mishaco I love my A3 M1 NATO, but I have a question: is it normal for the top rail to heat up semi-quickly? A few times I’ve shot it and I felt the heat traveling up the top rail and touching the base of my Eotech. It concerned me a bit but it doesn’t seem to have caused any issues so far. Any thoughts?

Considering the barrel is immediately below the rail & if you are rapid firing? Doesn't surprise me. Is it causing any issues? If not, why worry over it? If so, give Steyr's CS a call.

Love my usr. Rat worx has trigger upgrade bug stock is not bad. Compared to my gi triggers in ar15s and ar10s. I’m on the lookout for a 16” barrel next for it. Thanks!

Just got a nato AUG . Actually on PSA , the nato version is cheaper than the OG nato 😂😭

I want a bullpup and I’m torn between the aug and an x95….. I live the nostalgia of the aug but believe the x95 has more modern features. I need something to help me choose which one lol

What color stock to get? Mud, black, green, white? I've also seen the newer ones with the short bird cage flash hider rather than the tulip one. Is either preferred??

I love mine, and a trigger tamer is a good option to improve the trigger.

This & the sam7 sf are my grail guns I can't believe I have them both.

I think the difference between the fn and the original barrel is that the rifling, because Steyr is rifling while hammerforging.

Does anybody know how many white aug a3 m1 were produce i assume very little right

The prices for original and NATO versions are currently running about the same price, so for me, right now it doesnt make sense to get the original. I have plenty of AR mags so thats money saved (original mags are around $30-40 currently. Yikes!) Ive never woke up a day in my life and been left handed so that feature is a non issue. With the NATO you lose the bolt release but you gain a better mag release so its a wash there.

Can you use an OSS suppressor with the 16" AUG?

The A3M1 is in my top five favorite rifles for sure. Mine doesn't like steel cased ammo but I've never tried it on the adverse gas setting. I shoot brass cased 90% of the time any way so I could care less. I have the 18" barrel on mine, it was a special run for PJ's steyr-aug around 2013. I really like that length, it's long enough to look more like the A1 with the 20" barrel but not too long. Feels like the goldilocks barrel length for a AUG but that's just my opinion. I also got it with the 3x scope, in hindsight I probably should have gone with the 1.5x as I don't like the 3x all that much. I intend to put a small red dot on top like a RMR but just haven't gotten around to it. Overall a fantastic rifle, a modern classic really. Only thing is I wish I had bought the 24" barrel and bipod kit when they were around so I could have the pseudo LMG configuration too. Just couldn't bring myself to drop over $1000 on a second barrel setup, they are long gone now.

Idk the mdrx now they worked out all the problems is the most advanced bullpulp to date. Especially 308 and 556 switchable. With forward eject I dare say the best bullpulp?

Is that true? Have you ever heard anything like that before? Thanks!
