Not sure that I will ever suppress my AUG, but I bought one anyway, just in case.
Thanks for the heads up, OP! |

Mine is overgassed enough that I run the suppressor gas plug unsuppressed and really like it.

Thanks, OP! One thing I learned with Steyr parts/products is buy 'em when you see 'em, because they're only available in small batches.
They're down to 117 as of this post. That $15 shipping charge for a tiny part kind of hurts.

I have found V1 to be super slow on shipping but since I've been looking for a suppressor gas plug for some time and they had it, I bought it.

How effective are these?
Is it even worth it to suppress an AUG? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How effective are these? Is it even worth it to suppress an AUG? Can't comment on the effectiveness of the suppressor plug, but it is absolutely worth it to suppress an AUG. I find it to be no louder than any other suppressed 5.56 rifle I've shot. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How effective are these? Is it even worth it to suppress an AUG? Basically, the suppressor plug bleeds off extra gas out of the gun so when running suppressed, the internals don't get beat to death with most silencers. It's worth it to suppress an AUG. It's probably louder than some hosts. (Bleed off from the gas, piston pop). But it's still much, much louder than non-suppressed. |

It's worth it to buy if you're going to run suppressed. It's quieter and more reliable. I was very happy to get mine.

Quote HistoryQuoted: How effective are these? Is it even worth it to suppress an AUG? I use ear protection with all suppressed 5.56 guns anyway. I bought the gas plug to reduced wear and tear on the rifle as others have said. Maybe it's just in my head, but it feels over gassed without a suppressor. With a suppressor it feels way over gassed and I've heard stories of guys breaking parts on these running suppressed without the suppressor gas plug. |

Is it just the vent that is bigger? Do they reduce the gas coming into the plug too?
Seems like it would be easy enough to just drill out the adverse setting if that's the only change. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes, it just vents more so less gas is acting on the piston. No, it does not restrict the amount of gas coming from the gas port in the barrel You would think, but apparently the adverse hole is too close to the huge grenade launch hole for drilling it larger to work. What some guys have done is open up the adverse hole to the normal size, then open up the original normal hole to the suppressed size. These plugs are apparently very hard and difficult to drill though. Steyr even changed the order of the settings on the factory suppressor plug The normal gas plug:-normal -adverse -grenade The suppressor plug: -normal -grenade -suppressed Some reading: https://www.ar15.com/forums/Armory/My-experience-drilling-the-Steyr-Aug-gas-plug-the-hardest-material-in-the-known-universe-/43-486114/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AUG/comments/sx0vcr/wait_before_drilling_your_suppressor_gas_plug/?sort=qa Thanks. I sucked up the $20 shipping and ordered one. Worst case I have a spare to experiment on. |

Good call. It's a tough pill to swallow, but years later you'll forget about the cost and be happy you got it. Later on, you could always sell your original one to someone who wants to try drilling it out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm surprised they lasted this long. There are probably a boatload of new AUG owners who aren't aware of this part or who don't care to ever run suppressed. I know every time the local gun shops get AUGs, they're gone pretty quickly. |

Suppressed setting full time…waiting on another muzzle device before I can run it suppressed. The above info is correct as the aug is very over gassed. |

Got mine today.
I measured the holes roughly with some drill bits. Both Suppressed and Normal (and Adverse on the standard plug) have a .120" hole at the gas port. This is approximately the same size as the barrel port. Grenade cuts it off completely. On the vent holes, Normal is about .81" on both plugs. Suppressed is about .110". I forgot to measure the Adverse vent, but it's considerably smaller than Normal. On the suppressor plug, it looks like it's possible to drill a much smaller gas port at the new Grenade setting (where Adverse used to be) to limit the gas from the barrel port and add a second, perhaps quieter suppressor setting. That spot is far away from any other holes. |

I just shot about 100 rds through my AUG with the new suppressor gas regulator I just received from V1 Tactical. I set it to the suppressed setting instead of normal setting with no suppressor. Shot very well. Looks like I will just leave it on the suppressor setting. When I get my CGS Helios DT can approval will see how it shoots with a suppressor on it.

I'm pretty sure on mine the suppressed setting is at the 3rd position, marked GR on my rifle. And the 2nd position (where Adverse was) now cuts the gas off.
I'll double check and verify tonight. |

The large hole on the left plug aligns with the gas port on the barrel. This is the suppressor setting. On the right plug, there is no hole aligned with the barrel gas port. This is the grenade setting. The small holes on both are the vent holes for the normal setting and these are blocked in this position.  |
