Hmmm, tempting. I think I might just pick up an E4 rifle though and keep my STG-556 as is. Love those 42-round magazines.

No thanks! I spent $2100 on a limited edition and dont feel like spending more money on this rifle. $425 will buy a ton of extra STG mags.

So will there be slightly used STG stocks available at a good price soon? I would not mind getting a spare in another color.

Well this is good news. Solved my dilema. I wanted an E4 but I don't have the $$$ for one right now and I really didn't need 2 MSARs. Now I'll just have to unload my STG-556 mags (six 30rd and one 42 rd). I hope to get the 7.62x39 conversion in the future as well. Anyone know if the AR Beta C-mags will fit in the E4?

Any of you guys getting the conversion that may wish to get rid of your STG mags hit me up and we will see what kind of deal we can work out. I will leave my rifle in its original shape and stock but I may be interested in an extra stock if they ae available.

that is my thoughts as well $ 425 is alot of stg mags or money to a conversion to 6.8 spc, but being able to use all my p mags with my 6920 and my stg is a plus as well. Also I am not sure if I am ready to give up my 42 round mags either.

Why the extra $100 for AUG's and AXR's? They require extra fitting?

The E4 stocks have the same square cross pin as the AUGs do, I wouldn't think any mods have to be done to the receivers for them to fit. I'm guessing since no stock is traded in the price for the stock and pack and test firing is $525. |

So I understand different barrels are installed in the E4 conversions?
I noticed the barrel threading is 1/2"x28 on the E4s. Can these barrels be bought separate and installed in a GenIV Rifle? Or even trade in my 16" perhaps? I'm wanting to mount my M4-02, but I'd like to mount it directly to the barrel, without an adapter if I can. |

I thought it was an entire upgrade package, judging by the GenIV-E4 differences posted somewhere. Maybe I worded it wrong, but I was not looking for a even trade out between a used barrel and a new one. I was just wondering if a partial upgrade (just the barrel, if that was part of it) could be done. I'll be off to Rat Worx then for an adapter. |

What can are you looking to run? Several of the suppressor companies now offer a flash hider in M13x1L.

Will the squared-lock STG stocks fit on the AUG without fitting? I'm happy with the NATO stock on my AXR, but if I could pick up a STG stock to have the ability to use AUG/STG mags, that might be compelling. I was going to go the USR stock route at one point, but by the time I had it coated to the color I wanted it wouldn't be cost effective. |

We will ship ALL of your original parts back to you. There will be no modification to the gun and the price is $525 shipped and insured UPS ground. Includes 1 XM30 30 round magazine.

I'm ready to send the PM and the rifle as soon get confirmation on more thing. Combining several threads into one question that I think has been answered but I want to be sure:
If I get my A3 converted to E4 configuration, will I definitely be able to swap in the 6.8 barrel assembly and bolt when they are available separately (assuming they will be)? The same question for the 7.62x39? Will it function as reliably as if it were originally built in those calibers? In other words, the ports, springs, and other parts in the bolt and barrel assemblies would (theoretically) be included in the conversion package and a converted E4 would accept them the same as a purpose built E4 in those calibers. Right? This is important because, if the answer is no, I'll sell my A3 and buy the 6.8 E4 and wait for a 5.56 NATO conversion for it. Thanks, Kerry |

Warranty issues aside, will caliber conversions for the E4 be AUG/AXR compatible? I will get back to you on this. It is a possibility. We are about to make some bad ass barrels! |
