Since you're spending money, get yourself one of these. Makes a big difference.

Previous owner said thats in the gun, but he's including the factory sear. Any reason to get a complete spare bolt, or is bolt breakage with the AUG pretty rare? I'm a spare parts hoarder when it comes to the AR, but with the price of AUG stuff, I'm going to have to be a little more selective. |

A spare bolt is good to have.
If you really want to feel set, find a stock, hammerpack, carrier group, and barrel. But then you're in trouble as that will turn into another AUG. You'll find that the AUG is a finely engineered machine that is boringly reliable. Enjoy your new gun. |

Pretty much agree with what has already been stated.
Start with a small parts kit (yes it's stupid expensive, welcome to the world of Steyr/bullpups) and a bolt. I think those 2 things are mandatory. Then you can add a spare hammer pack, bcg, barrel, etc. This will depend on your finances and how much you shoot. |

You do not need any spare parts
Your Steyr Aug will run for years and thousands of rounds and nothing will break Just like mine has done I clean it after every time I shoot it and apply oil as per the manual. It is as rugged and reliable as any AK In the unlikely event anything does break, order it from PJ Steyr Aug |

Thoughts or opinions on the Ratworx hybrid bolt instead of a factory Styer one?
Also, I just saw Ratworx has 24" barrels. Does anyone make or sell an AUG LMG bipod to go with it? Goddamn. This thing could get expensive fast.

No kidding.
I just realized I've picked up another aug, therefore, I need another sear and spare parts kit. Crap! |

Ask me how I know.

Anyone here ever experienced or even heard off any parts breakage on an AUG? I researched it and came up with pretty much nothing. I found someone who quoted Pete Athens as saying that he had never seen a broken AUG bolt.
I was looking at picking up that spare parts kit but ended up buying another AUG

He's broken a firing pin and bolt sleeve in that time. He did have to retire the rifle for a while as the barrel was completely shot out and the groups started looking like a shotgun pattern. One new barrel later and he's GTG. I've got the factory spares kit and a spare barrel, so I'm feeling pretty well set. AJ |

I'd be surprised if any quality, hardchromed 556 barrel shot the throat out in under 10,000 rounds of lasted 30,000.
Small bores and high velocities kill barrels and 556 NATO has both. For some guys 10k rounds is a lifetime. For me, it's roughly 5-6 years of shooting, if I just shot one rifle the whole time. Barrels are a consumable, just like ammo. AJ |

I have 2 of those spare parts kits, I actually picked them up on various trades. Having said that..I've had my A1 since 1988 and have shot quite a bit. It's never broken or missed a beat..they are machines so your mileage may vary...

It's never broken or missed a beat..they are machines so your mileage may vary... With well over 25,000 rounds through my first A3, the only parts change I have made was swapping the left-hand and right-hand bolts depending on who's getting behind the gun. I picked up the spare parts kit above a few years ago, but I've only opened the bag once to inventory it, and then I stashed it back away. I'd say that I ride it hard and put it up wet, but that's not true. It's just about always dry. I wipe it down and put a little lube on it about every 3k-5k rounds. The bore snake runs through it about every 1,500 rounds. I've never had to use the adverse setting, but i do always use quality brass-cased ammo. |

I've not known anyone who has actually broken anything, but I have known a few who butterfingered while cleaning and another who's little boy dumped a bin with some parts (wanted to use it as a garage for his Hot Wheels). The AUG factory spares kit along with a gas sytem kit should be socked away for emergencies IMO. Likely never to be needed, but reassuring to have just in case. |

I've read more than a couple accounts of people launching their gas regulator downrange because it wasn't installed properly.
That could happen to anyone if they aren't paying attention, and without the regulator your gun is permanently down. Might want to add one of those to the list. |

Lord knows I've lost enough AR parts by launching them across the room (detents & springs anyone?) I've only had my AUGs for about two weeks now, but they are quickly becoming one of my favorite guns and getting a lot of use. Maybe thats just the novelty of a new gun, but I don't think it is. I've got enough spares to keep my ARs functioning long beyond my time on Earth; want to do the same with my AUGs. |
