Just picked up a new AUG.  Anyone got a source for mags at a decent price.  Also how do PMAG AUG mags compare quality wise to Steyr factory mags?

P-mags work fine.

AUG mags are hit and miss for decent pricing.

Magpul are all I use since I have an ingrained tendency to smack mags home pretty hard.


BTW. 20 inch barrel!  Sweeeeeeet!  I love mine.

I like my original mags better, but that's just me

AC Unity magazines work fine also.

Magpul and AC Unity run great.

Sign up at Steyr’s website for their emails, they have decent sales throughout the year you can take advantage of to get some mags and other AUG parts at a discount.

I’ll +1 the Magpul and AC-Unity thoughts, they are solid and usually more affordable than Steyr.  I’m pretty sure Magpul made theirs originally for the Australian military as a second-source supplier.

The Pmags for the AUG were developed for the Australian Military. They are absolutely solid and my favorite AUG mag. Like others have said, if you want originals just keep an eye out for sales. Factory AUG mags are out there and occasionally go on sale. Same with the AUG Pmags.

Magpul Aug mags take gen 3 team mag for plate and accessories and mag couplers and things like that!

Found AUG pmags for 12$ each ordered 25.  Will let you guys know when they deliver.  Going to order a few 42 rd factory mags as well.

Same for me, still not a bad price. If I wasn't in the midst of building a backup rifle and needing some AR mags for that, I'd nab some.

I have heard some say that just as with ammunition, unless you are on fire or swimming, there is no such thing as enough magazines or ammunition. I suppose it would apply to rucking as well as weight would really add up quickly.

I got my AUG PMAGs in.  They do not make covers for them.  Do they not suffer from feed lip fatigue like the AR15 PMAGs?

AUG mags have much thicker feed lips as they were made to be polymer from the get go, while PMAGs still have to work around the metal feedlip design. AUG PMAG on the left, AR PMAG on the right.

The test will be to leave a fully loaded mag in a hot car. If the lips survive that they should be fine.

I've since received the MagPull AUG mags and they worked 100%. They seem to hold the rounds more secure than the OEM mags and also sit tighter in the gun. I will get more MagPull if I see them cheap again.
