(now posted in the right section...)
Just a heads up for anyone that has ever wanted to own a Steyr AUG. Back in the day (like 20 years ago) I could never justify the $$$ for one, BUT read on...
The US made MSAR STG-556 rifles are currently on sale at a few places, including budsgunshop.com and Ratworxusa.com. This is the rifle that is .223 and takes its own magazines and also AUG ones (and not the newer E4 wich take M16 mags)
Here's the list at Buds:
http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/adva ... ar&x=0&y=0
The pics do not necessarily match the guns, best to decode the model number:
20 - Stg-556 (25=E4 model=$$$ more)
0X - color, 1=black, 3=Olive Drab
RRH - Rail (no optic) right hand (if just RH then it is right hand with the scope).
RLH - Rail (no optic) left hand (if just LH then it is left hand with the scope).
NN - Barrel length, 16 or 20
C - If it ends in a 'C' then it has a compensator rather than a flash hider, so this would be the model for those in states like NY that forbid evil flash hiders!!
I picked up a 2003RLH20 - Olive Drab, Lefty (I shoot lefty, but am right handed, go figure), 20 inch barrel rifle with the rail (and not the optic) for $982(!!) at buds, and got a bunch of 30 round mags from Ratworx for $13 each (which is a DEAL). I'm going to put a SPOT scope on it (www.spotscope.com). A 6" side rail can be added on the right side of the receiver - $70(!!) or you can get a non factory one from www.promotedpawn.com for $44 shipped.
Right hand guns can also be made LH by changing out the Bolt ($135 or so).
With a 16" barrel these are SBR short (27") without the NFA hassle and even with the 20" barrel they are only 31" overall.
Its gonna look something like this, but OD not black.
Woo hoo...roll on next week...
