I decided to change up my usual buying habits and recently bought a Steyr AUG - I've been wanting one for years, but never could bring myself to getting one. I've never considered a bullpup as a primary option for me - I think there are better options, so if I was going to buy one, it was gonna be a classic platform like an AUG.

I picked this up with a handful of factory mags and even an anniversary scope that the seller had for what I considered a great price and it's been on since then - I'm really digging it!



I added what I thought were pretty essential accessories after having shot it a bit:

- Anniversary scope came off and a Nightforce NX8 with Manticore Arms Talon mount was added. This was a serious improvement to the rifle. I like the Manticore mount as it kept the original lines of the legacy optic.

- AAC SPR/M4 suppressor. This had been sitting in the safe for several years, so it's now getting put to good use.

- Manticore Arms Raptor Charging Handle

- Manticore Arms Brass Buster. I'm have mixed feelings on this. I really don't need it from the strong side, and I can't view through the optic on the weak side, so I'll be pulling it off.



I've got a couple of hundred rounds through it so far and am looking forward to heading back out this weekend for some more trigger time.

You gotta love the AUG. Good choice.

Yep and congratulations on the new gun!

is that a 14" barrel?

I got one recently and can't wait to shoot it. My optic should be in on Thursday.

I got one of the Corvus Defensio brass deflectors. I think it's less obnoxious and people seem to like it.

@mcantu, nope - 16" barrel. The SPR/M4 mount fits over the barrel.

I’m with you; that barrel looks awfully short. Pinned & welded(sp?)?

Doubletap

No need to. The SPR/M4 is a reflex can that mounts over the barrel. It is an unmolested 16" barrel.

The reflex design certainly gives the illusion of a much smaller overall package when the can is attached.
