At the price I would think they should be impossible to damage.

I would hope. I am contemplating buying one. I dont want throw away mags though since they are so much more $$ and harder to get. Aug parts in general are a bitch. How long lasting are the AUGs parts in general?
Anyone know any good sites for them? SorryOciffer |

While hardly impossible to damage they are pretty durable. Keep in mind their price is due to rarity and not tensile strength.
Don't really have a great source for AUG stuff, it is hard to come by and expensive as a rule. And the mags are not steel reinforced anywhere. |

I guess my main concern is wearing out the feed lips. What other parts are high wear items?
I am trying to justify the cost of the gun in my mind.Bear in mind for me it will be shooter, not a collecting piece. It has pro's and con's with the AR overall. SorryOciffer |

SorryOciffer I shoot the piss out of mine. The oldest AUG I have was aquired about 1988 and I haven't replaced any parts yet. I've broken 1 mag when I took a slider with it. Cracked the mag body on a rock in the process. However to be fair the impact would have destroyed most mags out there including USGI mags. I haven't had any feed lips crack yet. |

Just don't use Gunscrubber to clean out the mags- saw a guy turn one into mush at a match that way.
