Has anyone tried a Beta mag on either a AUG or a STG-556?  I would like one for my STG-556 but it seems that my wrist goes where the beta mag would be?

Unless you have an AUG with the M-16 Magazine conversion kit installed it ain't going to fly, BetaCo doesn't offer (for obvious reasons) an AUG tower.

They used to, but it was somewhat awkward.

Bad plan, don't do, your wrist now owes me a beer for saving its life.

Seriously though, awkward and uncomfortable are generous understatements. You have to come up from below the grip and wedge your wrist against the mag, no fun. I'll post pics if I get a free moment.

It can be done but you have to do the chicken-wing.

It's really not great. Not that beta-mags are great in the first place.

Somewhat awkward is somewhat of an understatement.
