Stripped Receivers Update July 2020
All matching receivers at Steyr are gone. NEW UPDATE 7/7/2020 ----------------------------------- Parts Kits Update 7/12/19 Per Pete that's it. It's over now, no more sales. Read the parts list, it has everything but barrel and receiver (but also includes receiver parts).

Serious question. Why would anyone want to buy this? Doesn’t seem like a good deal when you add in the cost of a receiver and barrel.

Thanks for the heads up maleante.
Why would anybody want to have spare parts for their rifle? I guess if you don't see the need for one you wouldn't get the reason for it. |

Are all the parts inter changeable with current gen guns? Like if you had a nato stock a3 m1, could you buy that kit and have spare parts plus a normal aug stock you could convert to?

I notice the stock in this kit has a hump right behind where the receiver would go. Would that interfere with the extended rail or anything? Thanks for the help. |

I talked to Pete Athens for a minute when I paid over the phone. Here's some additional information:
These are drop shipping direct from Steyr even though PJs is selling them. It's the end of the STG77 era, the guns are done and Steyr's selling these kits to get rid of the last of the STG77 parts kits. If you bought one of these you're literally in the right place at the right time. This is like the $7 AUG mags deal... |

The newly available 1/2x28 barrels are the easy solution however they are $400 and I have a USR barrel sitting unused and unloved. It’s probably cheaper to have the USR barrel threaded up until I got the idea that I really should SBR it and get it cut to 14” to round out my AUG barrel options. Kinda kills the “cheaper” thing though and I’m guessing it’s a bit complicated to get a 14” cut USR barrel to run correctly with a suppressor. Maybe I should just get the USR barrel cut to 16” and threaded...... |

Well... that's a great deal, indeed!
Shame that the AUG bolt locks into the receiver, and not a barrel extension, or this would be a wonderful start for a home built bullpup of some sort. |

Cheapest barrel I have seen was a couple years ago on GB where I snagged a USR barrel (unthreaded ban era) for $125. Normally they run more like $400. |

The kit gives you a lot of parts, but not enough. Off the top of my head, you'll still need a steel bushing, 3 pressed sleeves, cover plate, 2 screws, and the most important piece of them all. The trunnion. It's pretty much impossible to acquire.
Once Steyr takes back production of the receivers, I could see them making special batches of receivers - for a price. I've asked a couple times for serial number matching receivers to the 6th gen AUG kits. If they could do those, I don't see why they couldn't match the carrier serial number to a receiver in the future - assuming they choose to do so.

Card was just charged. I'll probably see the stuff early next week. Steyr ships with UPS and from my experience does not provide customers with update emails containing tracking information. If you have UPS my choice, free to sign up, you'll be updated as its on the way...

Unlike the G36, there's a whole lot more AUGs out there to make replacement receivers for; it's not as though there isn't a vibrant aftermarket for stuff *besides* the receiver.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Obviously; my point is the target-markets are similar (well-heeled gun enthusiasts who want to improve their stuff or don't want to engrave NFA nonsense into their factory parts). If Bostic can get G36 trunnions made for his T36 project, this should be no worse (yeah, yeah, I know, AUG's aren't worth $4,000...). The rest of the receiver is basically a series of tubes .

I’m now on the fence about buying one. When I bought my AUG I also bought a Styer spare parts kit. I’m not sure if I “ need” this kit. I’d hate to not buy it and then regret it a few years later. I gotta think more on it.

I dunno, looks like a great price for a bunch of parts I will probably take to the grave... Maybe if you only had a Nato stock and wanted an Aug mag compatible stock or wanted to change colors on your existing stock. That would give you a big head start on the package price.
I love my Aug but rarely run it very hard. |

To be honest, while this is a smoking deal, I can't help but think I'd realize more benefit from a $500 replacement quality trigger (if that ever happens), then likely ever actually use any of this. That, and my next AUG related purchase is very likely going to be a new BBL (well... once they dump the 1/9 twist that is incompatible with half my ammo). That said, if I hadn't already bought the spare parts kit, and spare bolt; that's more than half what this kit costs - and I'd totally pull the trigger on getting this. And for that, thanks for the tip, as this IS a smoking deal. For anyone who doesn't have any spare parts; you should buy this. |
