I figured due to how rare it is and I traded less than $200.00 worth of ammo……what the hell. I now have a 24” muzzle brake Several closed end tulip flash suppressors A open end three slot And now this! |

Do we have a photo from Steyr or a known source that shows this as a factory item that was on the 14.8” barrels? Never seen one before, much less a pic of the 13.8” barrel or an AuG with the barrel with that flash hider. Sven Manticore Arms |

Sven Manticore Arms IF I can find it I have an article from 1985 that shows it on the short barrel. When the guy who had it asked if I knew what it was, I immediately knew what it was. I found out the back story on how he got it. He was giving a management class at Gun South YEARS ago and one of the managers said “I have a present for you” told him what it what it was and handed it to him. |
