I don't think you have any options for increasing rail space on your TPD, if I remember right, the receiver is based on the A2 receiver and extra rails and such have long been out of circulation.
For parts, Steyr sells a spare parts kit, but if you have questions and want to order the parts, Pete Athens is your guy: http://www.pjs-steyraug.com He might be able to help you find some replacement rail that might work for you. |

To get mor rail space I may have to get rid of the VFG |

Ah, I was reading it as top rail space, but there is rail replacements for the VFG.

I know the one Steyr sells is a two railed setup, but a three railed one isn't one I've seen.
I remember someone posting a quad rail a while back that looked like it fit to the barrel, but I haven't seen hide nor hair about it since then. |

And what parts for spare ? And where does everyone go for their parts? |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I have yet to need any spare parts but from what I gather it’s a good idea to have a spare bolt sleeve on hand as they sometimes break. Haven’t ever seen it myself but it’s not a particularly expensive part. Probably the easiest thing to do is just buy the factory spare parts kit. It has the sleeve, firing pin, extractor and some other small parts. Available from Steyr and from Pete Athens. If you aren’t in a rush wait six months and Steyr usually has some good Black Friday specials, pretty sure they had the spares kit for $125 last year. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Guy I shoot with has been running a AUG since the 80s and has shot a barrel out in his main AUG.
He said he’s broken a couple of firing pins and a bolt sleeve. The other parts in the spares kit are the kind of things that might get lost even if they don’t break. Broken bolts don’t seem to be an AUG thing, although I did break a locking lug off the trunnion once. AJ |

Ok I got the rail from
[email protected] https://store.ratworxusa.com/search?q=Aug DO NOT buy this rail First they send it without instructions Second the set screw is factory set which you wouldn’t know because there are NO F***ing instructions Third the set screw doesn’t level it. It will prevent the rail from moving downwatd but won’t prevent it from moving upward. So if u want to add an IR Laser you may not be able to sight it in. Poor design and not worth 100 bucks just to put a VFG on it bec that’s all it would be good for Fourth it’s only one rail. Fifth....F***ing 20% RESTOCKING FEE |

No instructions and them I’m told it’s a factory set item after the fact is bad period. Is it that hard to add a small piece of paper at least saying not to remove the factory set set screw! |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Were you trying to install a rail that was specifically designed for an AUG to a TPD AXR barrel? Did you know that the gas block of the AXR, where the rail would attach to, is dimensionally different than the one on an AUG. The contours are close but not the same. The gas block is another part that Kent didn't outsource from Steyr. You can kick and scream all you want. It's not the fault of the rail. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I’d also rather have it than my X95 too! |

Just because SOME parts are the same, it doesn’t mean all are.
Your efforts would have been better used contacting them. Your rant is just a bit unjustified since you bought a part that wasn’t for your rifle. |

Your rant is just a bit unjustified since you bought a part that wasn’t for your rifle. And I asked them if it would fit And in the end I got it to work after a lot of frustration. The problem is that they didn’t send instructions or at least a piece of paper stating the set screw is factory set. |

Guess I was a bit confused, installing these rails isn’t rocket science.
My apologies,.....carry on |
