So now you can use readily available Colt 9mm steel mags.  https://steyr-arms.us/shop/nato-aug-a3-9x19mm-kak-colt-magazine-kit-110-twist-rate/

Quoted: does it cost as much as a new aug? I have a Heresy Design; cost was still crazy at half that but their barrel include a tri-pic rail section and a tri-lug muzzle; uses modified P-Mags so, depending on how you look at it, same mag pouches and reloading mechanics of a regular AUG. |

Quoted: Seems like a pretty good value for the money. I have an extra NATO stock…might consider this. Attached File |

Quoted: $1K.  The 9mm AUG never really interested me much. Just too big and bulky for a 9mm subgun. The neat thing about the AUG is getting longer barrel length for 556 with a shorter OAL, but about 10.5" of that barrel is inside the receiver. There's another 2-3" needed for the front grip, but unlike with a 556 you're not getting much in terms of velocity for all that additional barrel weight beyond the end of the receiver. |

It’s more like a short range cheaper training concept. At least that’s the way I look at it. |

Quoted: $999.00 which is the average hourly pay of most members here. Quoted: Quoted: does it cost as much as a new aug? $999.00 which is the average hourly pay of most members here. This is what kills Steyr with this platform (and for over four decades) - everything is waaaaaay overpriced. For the cost of this kit one can build almost three budget ARs. Like one member stated, a Turkish MP5 pistol costs less. |

Quoted: Do these only work with the AUG mag well or will they work with the AR mag well also/different adapter? Has anyone tried these in a Microtech? I have a XM-17E4 - that’s the AR mag version. If you have an answer you can use the heresy design kit that you have to completely replace the entire feed system if you can figure out a way to make that work then you can run your MSR in 9 mm. You can use an AR-15 to pistol mag adapter on your MSAR E4 or you can use the stair clear 9mm waffle mags in your STG 556. The mp88 magazine adapter won't fit because it's too tight. However you can also swap the entire stock to put an AUG stock on a Gen 4 msar and all the E4 models are Gen 4. |

Yall laugh at me when I say this conversion kit is a decent value, but price what it includes as individual parts. Yeah, it ain’t AR15 cheap, but the AUG isn’t as ubiquitous as the AR. Personally, I don’t think it’s a horrible values for the dollar, if you are a NATO AUG owner. |

Quoted: Uses an AR mag block, so its only compatible with NATO stock AUGS. Shame. I was about to swipe my card. In one of the, this may be a deal on an AUG threads I started, a few were actually offended it was a NATO stock AUG. I am sure the AUG proprietary mags are awesome, but they won't work in my AR collection. Or my X95. I have hundreds of AR mags, why would I want a proprietary mag when there is an option? |

Quoted: I am curious what would make it specific to the AUG? Quoted: Quoted: I've got a vintage AWC can designed for a 9mm Aug. I am curious what would make it specific to the AUG? The mount, it's an AWC MK9 Attached File |
