I found this pretty interesting.  You need to give them contact information (I'm Mr. Bo-zo Clown...) to download the PDF.  The PDF has some very interesting replacement optics for the AUG.

could you copy the info here, or at least give us an idea what this is and why it is better than standard AUG sight?

Here is text pulled.  Most of the technical information was presented in a chart.  There are 4 magnification options [(1.5 x 14) (1.5 x 14 Tritium) (3 x 14) (ZFM 4 x 25Z)]
and 5 reticle options [Standard / Standard Civil / Standard Mil / Red Dot / Mil 2].

For the data since it was pulled from a chart the order is as follows: (1.5 x 14) (1.5 x 14 Tritium) (3 x 14) (ZFM 4 x 25Z)

thanks, sounds like a potentially good upgrade.  I assume this swaps out for the standard scope optical tube assembly.  so is this obtainable in US?

Neat, but ultimately if I am going to pay Austrian prices for an optic I would just assume go with something with a larger field of view than the factory 'soda straw' size

anybody importing them?  price?

Ok, now the pertinent question, would these fit in a MSAR optic housing?

Am also interested in the tritium version––but likewise––for my MSAR STG-556......will it work?

Price?

Can the end user––rifle owner easily install these?

Thanks!
