Can't wait for the details to come out. I'm really hoping you can make them Lefty friendly. Looks like they went with the Steyr mags too.

Will these take AR mags?

OK, now we will have three AUG rifles in the market. Two of which use expensive proprietary mags, and one of which uses ar15 mags but is more than 2 grand so you're not really saving any money.

I guess that's just how it goes. Otherwise we would just be buying up AK's. I still think the situation sucks though.

I'm confused...You think marketplace options suck or you just think it sucks that some guns cost more than you are willing to pay?

Actually, there is only one AUG and then there are two guns that look like the AUG

And 30 rounds AUG mags are $30, which I personally dont regard as expensive. I pay more than that for pistol mags. Personally I'm glad Steyr stayed true to the design and didnt mangle the whole project by making it more AR15 like.

I'm really sick and tired of hearing this line.

You are not the only one...

This mindset gave birth to a couple of abominations. We don't need another.

Just bought 25 thirty round and 5 42 round AUG mags from CDNN! I cannot wait for these to be released. Also bought a Steyr-manufactured black NATO/STANAG stock to allow the AUG to accept M16 mags. Not planning on using it much with this, but is a nice accessory to have at a reasonable price ($300) and best of all it includes a spare semiauto trigger pack.

Actually, CDNN is selling factory NIW Steyr AUG thirty-round mags for $29.99. That is not bad at all. Consider this - the best 7.62x39 AK mag on the planet is the Bulgarian "Circle-10" polymer mag with steel reinforced feedlips/locking lug, and in the mag body. These cost $26 each right now.
