Steyr AUG's coming in January

[scottryan]

OK, now we will have three AUG rifles in the market. Two of which use expensive proprietary mags,

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.

So there is an understanding that there are many gun owners who express dissapointment with "the next big thing".

Got a letter from them on this a while back... If I recall, it IS a Steyr, not looks like on, or is a copy, or another clone. Steyr-Mannlicher contracted with Sabre to build the AUG for them.

The only thing I hate about these situations (rumored AUGs, HK416s for civilians, FN SCARs) is that they've had these guns and designs for at least four years. Now, the most anti-gun president has been elected and they are just now deciding to get this done! I just wished they started the process a little sooner rather than at the very last minute - they're going to force me to make some tough decisions!

If they can make one with a trigger that doesn't suck and at some type of reasonable price point then I would be interested.

I use it in my AUG.

I've read about that thingy. If it works in the civy AUG and it makes the trigger as nice as it claims to, then we may have a wiener.

[Neville]

Actually I find the trigger itself not too bad on my AUG-Z but the trigger reset lacks a definite point- and the Tamer makes it worse.

Although it may seem odd that Steyr uses their (proven!) magazines, but they think that the priority is to establish reliability. That is what
the AUG is famous for- its almost AK like. And although there are finally great mags for the Ar15 system available, if Steyr makes a Ar15
mag AUG, some dork will stick a broken aftermarket mag in it - and claim that the AUG is unreliable...

[TOrrock]

I hope they can make it happen.

Examples?

The microtech AUG and SIG556 are both products of your mindset.

All new assault rifles will be expensive and not every single firearm will use an AR-15 magazine. You need to get over it.
