 A .300 Blackout Steyr AUG is FINALLY ON THE WAY! TL;DW - AUG in 300 BLK is coming to the US market. No specific release date yet. Comes with a 6 position gas regulator: normal, low velocity, adverse, adverse+, adverse++, off. Also looks like we'll be getting the NATO stock with bolt release. |

Never really got interested in 300blk…
…being and AR guy that would mean getting a spare upper (with buis scope etc) if not another complete gun… but the QD barrel of the AUG may be extremely convenient in this case

I’m actually quite interested in a 300 bullpup, but the AR QD uppers are more practical than QD barrels because they stay zeroed with the appropriate optic.
I’ll be keeping my eye on this. |

My interest ship sailed on the .300 Blackout probably ten years ago. So my take, cool Steyr is bringing it to market but meh, the round is expensive and a pain in the ass. The engineering in the gas system is pretty impressive given how finicky the BLK is with all the combinations of suppressed vs nonsuppressed, sub vs supersonic rounds.
Now the pistol caliber AUG I could get behind. I always say “yes” to 9mm but I kinda also want a .40 flavor like they sold to Brazil.

I've been wanting this for some time! And it's literally just a barrel swap from 5.56 to .300 BLK. This will be the perfect suppressed HD rifle. AUG >>>> AR15 any day |

Especially since PSA started making ammo and pushing down the market price. With 7.62x39 going up in price, the cost is not as much different than it used to be. |

Saw that yeasterday.
My last AUG box from the PSA sale has 300 blk on it so I figured it was out there somewhere. Along with the typical 556 & 9mm See if I can pick up a barrel when they hit the USA. And yes hopefully some 9mm conversion for the US too last kit from RTG was over 5k with 4 mags Before that I saw,one sell for 3500 two mags on GB. They kept saying how modular the system is but it only took 40+ years to get a civvy conversion for the masses in the USA and as of now it's only a teaser. We'll see how it goes for the US consumer there was a,time when Styer said NO to 300 blkout after lots of inquaries from the general public. |

That lack of pressure (due to the uncorking so soon after the gas port) is why they have so many settings 300 specific gas settings. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SpyHawk: One could always keep 556 or 300 in waffle mags. I plan to,since waffles are all I have. They also mentioned they will be making 300 specific waffles since they are specific to 556 now so I would think they would be different color and marked 300 black out or some such. I look forward to getting at least one barrel for one of my AUG's not so much spare waffles since they went back up in price. And I'm sure since they are a new product they will be pricey. Did score 6 more NIW 42's for 30 apiece right after the PSA sale 2nd AUG purchase. Maybe I'll just use my Pmags and AC Unity mags for 300 since the vid said they have excelled where the waffles were hinted at needing a redesign. |

They said they need to do more testing which could mean years from past experience. They've been talking about this since at least 2016 where the guys at the NRAAM Steyr booth openly told me they didn't want this because people would blow their guns up. I'm not going to get my hopes up too soon.

That’s because it is them.
I waited 6 years for one part that I ordered. Six years! The ex PR person for steyr is here on arfcom and he fought for years to have them adopt the 6.5 cm in their bolt guns and they finally did it 10 years after the fact. The MF pistols are great and all but again, they’ve missed the boat by not having a factory optics ready gun. Steyr has excellent high quality products, of that there’s no doubt. However they also excel at always being behind the curve of what the market wants. These .300 blk barrels are a prime example of this. |
