Hi all.


Considering adding an optic version of the msar and wanted input on the different
Heights of the optics between the stg and e4. I know the e4 is higher and closer to tje orignal aug. Any personal experiences
From those who use them ? Both comfortable cheek weld? Any thoughts ?

I had a STG with the lower optic and could get a decent cheek weld, but folks who are more "big boned" couldn't smash their faces down enough.

Well, i,'m short 5'6" and not big boned. I was just seeing if there is
A plus to the e4 for me. I don't care about the barrel threads, even kinda like
The idea of the stg mags.

Just for versatility with all of my optics and mounts, I'm going to buy an E4 rail and sell my STG optic rail.  Brand new, so I should do it now.

Mine came with the lower optic. It was okay, but with my big melon, I couldn't get a comfortable cheek weld. Sold it, and bought the higher E4 version....much more gooder

I picked up my E4 today.  It's a 20" version with the optics as I won't have the money for the optic I want for another month or two and I go nuts when I have a rifle that can't be used if I need it.  Anyway, when I brought the rifle up to my shoulder everything just fell into line.  For me, the E4 optic is about perfect in height.  I think I'd even stay with the optic if there was a way give it the same features as the ACOG.  Then it would be perfect.

How about the height of just the rail itself?  Not the optic, but just the rail....   Does the rail on the E4 sit higher than the standard STG?

No, it's lower.  Big stickied thread at the top of the Bullpup forum all about this:  AUG & Copies - Rail & Optic Heights

I've got a new low scope, need a high scope!

Optic on the newere E4 is 1/2" higher than the STG-556.

I was originally under the impression that actually all new rifles came with the 1/2" higher optic, but someone else intimated that the STG's have the lower optic and the E4's have the higher optic.

Or maybe there is still a supply of the lower scopes adn when they run out all new STG-556's will have the higher one.

Who knows, LOL...
