Steyr STM 556

Steyr is about to feature an M4 with the functional principle of the AUG:

Interesting. So are the barrels quick change in the same fashion as the AUG?

Thats interesting

Looks like they might be. It is nice to see another German MFG other than HK. Head to head would be pretty cool.

NOT German, Austrian!!! :mad:

Yep, quick change barrels- and from what I hear the option to quickly change caliber.

Oppps. Your right.:secret: sorry. Still, Would be nice to see them head to head. Since they both have mystical followings. Still want an AUG or even a MSAR E4 clone, since I have a pile of AR pattern mags.

Interesting.

Thanks for posting, though I must admit that I’m entirely un-thrilled at the idea of yet another piston driven AR-type carbine at the moment…
